Step by step
Put the flour into the bowl of the stand mixer.

Attach the Flat Beater and turn the Speed Control Lever to 2. Mix for 2 minutes.
Slowly add the warm milk while the stand mixer is running. Mix for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and fold it 3 times until it’s smooth.
Roll the dough until it’s about 3 cm thick. Use a round cookie cutter of about 5 cm and cut out the scones.
Put them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat one egg and brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 220°C pre-heated oven or until risen and golden on top.
