  4. Cut in Butter:

    • Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until crumbly.

  6. Form the Dough:

    • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
    • Flour your hands, shape the dough into balls, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Egg Wash & Bake:

    • Brush each scone with the additional beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
