Plain Scones

My favorite scones recipe...

Ingredients

2 cups king Arthur all-purpose flour

I  tablespoon baking powder

½  cup sugar

½  teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons butter

1 fresh egg

2/3 cup fresh buttermilk

¼ cup whole milk

-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Mix the dry ingredients  together first, then cut in the butter and egg.  Slowly add the buttermilkto form a thick dough.  Knead the dough on a board, roll to a 1-inch thickness, and cut the dough into 2-inch triangles.  Place each triangle on a greased cookie sheet and brush the tops with milk.  Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.  Makes 12 scones. 

Great for snacks, and even for lunch. ;)
I got this recipe from "The Secret Ingredient" by Laura Schaefer (a good book).
