Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup fruit spread (your choice of flavor)
Cooking Tips:
- Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
- Do not overwork the dough, as it can make the scones tough.
- Brush the scones with milk before baking to give them a golden brown color.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the milk to the bowl and stir until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times.
6. Roll the dough out into a circle that is about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges.
8. Place a spoonful of fruit spread onto the center of each wedge.
9. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit spread, pinching the edges together to seal.
10. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush them with milk.
11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
