Honey Scones

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use parchment paper to ensure the scones release easily.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

   Tip: Make sure to get rid of any lumps.

3. 3

   Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a crumbly mixture forms.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk the honey, eggs, and milk until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.

   Tip: Be gentle to avoid developing the gluten in the dough.

7. 7

   Pat the dough into a circle that is about 2.5 cm thick.

   Tip: Use a rolling pin to help you achieve an even thickness.

8. 8

   Cut the scones into 6-8 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

   Tip: Leave about 2 cm of space between each scone.
