British Scones

These British scones are light, fluffy, and perfect for afternoon tea.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones.
Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Serve warm with jam or clotted cream.
