Directions:
- Grease a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 425 F or 220 degrees C.
- In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
- Rub in the butter with your fingertips until no lumps are left and the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the sugar and baking powder.
- Add the milk a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to stick together.
- Using one hand, pull the mixture together into a ball and plop onto a floured surface.
- Knead lightly to form a smooth ball.
- Place on a plate and let the dough rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Roll out onto a floured surface until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, dipped in flour, to cut the dough into circles 2-1/2 to 3 inches across.
- When you lift the cutter from the dough, be careful not to twist it!
- This is important.
- If you twist, you will twist the gluten in the dough and make it hard for the scones to rise straight up when they are baking.
- Place the scones on a baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Be careful only to brush the top, don't let the wash drip down the sides of the scones.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until golden and well risen.
- Remove to a cooling tray.
- Serve warm with butter or cool, topped with fresh strawberries for a special summer treat.
