Classic Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. 2
   Mix flour, baking powder and salt with cold butter and milk. In the beginning, dough will look like it won't stick together, but keep mixing a few minutes and it will end up nice and smooth.
3. 3
   Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick. Use a plain round cutter to cut out scones. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. 4
   Serve with cold butter and freshly made jam.
