Steps to follow
1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Gently mix until just combined.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until the dough comes together.
5
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place on a baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
6
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
7
Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite jam and cream.
