Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
