Scones
Preheat oven to 450° F
2 cups flour (bread, or all purpose)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl
1/2 stick butter (or 50 grams, if you're following the recipe precisely)
Cut up butter into small cubes and blend into dry ingredients until small and crumbly. I just use my fingers.
1/2 cup milk or buttermilk (recipe says 100ml but it lies -- you will need more)
Add milk to mixture a little at a time until it forms a firm dough. Do NOT knead. Cut dough ball in half and roll or hand-pat the two halves into flat disks formed directly on your baking sheet. Cut each disc into quarters (or smaller) and prick the tops liberally with a fork.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Consume while still warm, slathered in butter.
