Ingredients:
1 ¾ C Flour
3T sugar
2/1/2 t baking powder
¼ t salt
1 egg, beaten
4-6 T milk
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until it resembles fine crumbs.
Combine egg and 4T milk. Slowly pour milk mixture into dry mixture while mixing with a fork to combine. If you need the additional 2 T milk to bring the dough together, add it. I almost always need the full 6T of milk.Gently pat dough into a circle, about 1/2 inch thick. Brush top with milk or beaten egg and sprinkle liberally with sugar.
Cut into 6 wedges and separate on a cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. The tops shouldn’t be brown, but the bottoms will be golden-brown and the tops set. Keep an eye on them and don't over-bake. The easiest way to ruin a scone is to over cook it! Scones have different texture than a cake or muffin, so if they get over cooked they will be dry and crumbly
While still warm, split and spread with butter and jam, honey-butter, just about anything that sounds good to you! Or let them cool and use them for things like strawberry shortcake which I did....SO GOOD!

Hi! I am very new to this site (I found it while looking for homemade Krispy Kreme donuts!) and while it looks interesting, I have a suggestion to make. I find it helpful and fun to have a little introduction of the recipe that describes the dish a little bit, tells why and how you came to make it (whether giving credit to the original source or explaining how you developed it on your own, or a combination of the two) and maybe even serving suggestions. Another thing I find helpful is when recipes state how many servings it yields (which can be approximate) and the prep. and cook times. Also, I could probably figure this out with a little more searching, but how are the recipes posted? Is it a collection of various personal food blogs, or do the authors write original posts directly on this blog? I love the idea of a cooperative recipe blog, and who better to write it than moms, who make at least 6 or 7 home-cooked meals a week? Thanks for this resource.
