Yield Makes about 18 scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, superfine sugar, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add butter. Using your fingers, work butter into flour mixture until a crumbly mixture is formed.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and milk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead lightly and shape into a round. Roll dough out until it is 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out scones and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
  • In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and brush the top of each scone; sprinkle each with granulated sugar. Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.

I tried making these scones, but they turned out really flat. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still good.

These scones were absolutely delicious! They were so light and fluffy, and the perfect sweetness. I added a little bit of cinnamon to the batter, and it gave them a really nice flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
