Very easy basic scone recipe. You can add a cup of almost anything to them, such as, any flavor chip, any dried fruit or nuts. Also try adding any citrus rind or your choice, to make the flavor pop.

Step 1

In a large bowl,combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut butter in with a pastry cutter until crumbly.

In small bowl, mix egg and milk until well mixed.

Add to the flour mixture, stirring until just blended.

Drop with a spoon or a scoop onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.
