Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

- Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer, you can add a glaze on top of the scones after baking, made from powdered sugar and milk.
- For extra flavor, try adding lemon zest or vanilla bean paste to the dough.
