Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
