Ingredients

2 cups plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp caster sugar or light brown sugar
4 tbsp butter (2 ozs)
2/3 cup whole milk (6 ozs)
1 egg (beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425*F/210*C.
In a large mixing bowl add; flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add butter to the flour mixture and cut using a couple of dinner knives, pastry blender or crumble by hand until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix; milk, egg, and vanilla and blend into the dry ingredients using a form to make a soft dough. If the dough is extra sticky add no more than 1-2 tbsp flour to soak up excess moisture.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface or pastry mat. Knead the dough gently.
Using the palm of your hands, pat the dough out to about 1” thickness and form into a circle.
Use a 3” round biscuit cutter to cut the scones out.
Carefully lift the scones and place them onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
Brush the scones with milk and sprinkle lightly with caster sugar
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12 mins and serve hot with butter or with Greek Yoghurt and Jam
