Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough just comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.
- Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
