Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or use Silpat baking mat.

Measure out and sift the flour into a large bowl.

Add baking powder, salt and sugar and mix to combine.

Add in cubed butter. Use pastry blender to cut in butter. Continue until mixture resembles coarse meal.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg with milk.

Add mixture to dry ingredients slowly. Mix to incorporate gently. Try not to over-knead the dough.

If mixture still dry, add small amounts of milk until dough comes together.

Separate half of the dough and form into large flat disc about 1 inch thick.

Use a round biscuit cutter to cut rounds. Repeat with second half. Continue until all the dough has been used.

Whisk second egg in separate bowl. Brush the tops of the scones with egg mixture before putting in oven.

Bake approximately 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
