Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup cold milk (or more)
- 1 egg yolk , beaten with 1 tablespoon of cold milk
- flour (to dust the work surface)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430 F / 220 C.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix.
- Add the butter.
- Rub the mixture with your fingertips to break the butter and reduce everything to a sandy mixture. This step can be done using the electric mixer at medium speed.
- Begin to knead using the flat beater. Incorporate the milk gradually, until you get a dough that is a little sticky.
- Take the dough out of the bowl using a spatula and place it on a floured work surface.
- Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and knead for 2 minutes.
- Spread the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about one inch.
- Cut out 2½ inch (6 cm) circles of dough with a glass or a cookie cutter.
- Place the dough circles, evenly spaced out, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush them gently with the mixture of egg yolk and milk.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the scones are puffed and golden.
