INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt

  • Wet/Fat Ingredients

    • 🧈 ¼ cup cold butter, cubed
    • ⅛ cup white sugar
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk, or as needed
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons milk

STEPS

1

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

2

Sift flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.

3

Rub in butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar and enough milk to create a soft dough.

4

Turn dough onto a floured surface, fold 2 to 3 times, roll out to ¾-inch thickness, and cut into 2-inch rounds. Place rounds on the baking sheet and brush the tops with milk.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until scones are risen and golden, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
