Baked Scones

Found on Our Best Bites. These are really easy and really delicious. Loved with honey butter and strawberry jam.

Ingredients:

1/3 C real butter
1 ¾ C Flour
3T sugar
2/1/2 t baking powder
¼ t salt
1 egg, beaten
4-6 T milk

Instructions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until it resembles fine crumbs.

Combine egg and 4T milk. Slowly pour milk mixture into dry mixture while mixing with a fork to combine. If you need the additional 2 T milk to bring the dough together, add it. I almost always need the full 6T of milk.

Form into a ball and pat onto baking pan. Flatten to about 1/2 thickness and cut into 6-8 pieces. They say to put some milk or egg rubbed on top but I put a little too much so it needs to be light. Then sprinkle with sugar and bake for 10-12 min at 400 degrees. Don't overbake. They will be golden brown on bottom and not on top. Enjoy! Perfect Saturday morning breakfast.
