# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

05 - Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round.
07 - Use a 2.5-inch round cutter to cut out scones. Place rounds onto prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat until dough is used.
08 - Brush tops with milk for a golden finish.
09 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until risen and golden brown.
10 - Cool scones on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with clotted cream and a drizzle of dandelion honey.
