Preparation:
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub into the flour. Add the sugar. Add the beaten egg gradually, then the milk. This should resemble a soft dough. Knead it quickly on a floured board. Roll out 1/2" thick and cut into 2" rounds. Place the scones on a greased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet and then put on a wire rack. |
