Tea Scones (baked)


2c. flour
1/4c. sugar
1/4t. salt
6T. (3/4 stick) butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
7T. cold milk

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl.  Add butter and rub with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.  Beat egg and milk in a small bowl.  Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients, tossing with fork until moist and adding another 1T. milk if dry.  Gather dough into ball.  Turn out on lightly floured surface.  Shape dough into 8-in. round about 3/4-in. thick.   Transfer round to lightly floured baking sheet.  Using a sharp knife, cut round into 8 equal wedges--don't separate wedges.  Bake at 400℉ about 20 min. or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and top is golden brown.  Recut scones.  Serve warm or at room temperature--great served with jelly or fruit.
