Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour 480g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 12g, rounded
- 1 tsp kosher salt 6g
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup sugar 50g
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 3/4 cups whole milk 180mL
- 1/2 cup cream 120mL
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 110g, cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375F
- Sift the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cream of tartar together into a large bowl.
- Grate the cold butter into the dry mixture. Toss the butter and flour as you go along to prevent clumping.
- Crumble the butter and flour together until you create a finer sandy texture. You can just pulse in a food processor if desired.
- Mix the egg, cream, and milk together and reserve two tablespoons in a small bowl (this will be used for the egg wash).
- Create a well in the middle and pour in the milk mixture and mix until combined. This will be a sticky mixture so I always try to keep one hand in the bowl and one hand free and clean.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 3/4 an inch or more thick. (no one wants a flat scone!). Use whatever shaped cutter you'd like and transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush tops with the reserved egg wash and place in oven to bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.
