Bake: Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Place the triangles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silpat.

Shape the scones: Cut the dough into 8 triangles, just like you would cut pizza.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a round 10 inch disk. Add more flour if needed if the dough is too wet and sticky. In a small bowl whisk the egg with the milk together, then pour into the flour bowl.

Turbinado sugar – I love a good sugary crunch on top of my scones.

Milk – And type of milk, including non-dairy alternatives, will work.

Butter – COLD! Shortening can be used instead.

Egg – To be mixed into the scones and as an egg wash before baking.

Baking powder – Don’t substitute with baking soda otherwise you’ll end up with an odd aftertaste.

Blueberries and/or raspberries can be used too.
