Edmonds Scones are a Kiwi classic breakfast recipe originating from New Zealand that have been around for almost a century. These delicious and easy-to-make scones can be served with your favorite jam, butter, and whipped cream, making them a staple in many households across New Zealand and other parts of the globe. Their warm fluffy goodness and buttery goodness make them perfect for breakfast, but they're also an excellent afternoon tea treat.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 220C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour and baking powder. Stir in the salt.
3.	Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center.
4.	Gradually mix in milk with a knife until the dough comes together and forms a soft and sticky dough.
5.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until smooth.
6.	Pat the dough into a roughly 2cm thick round shape. Cut into 8-12 wedges depending on the desired size.
7.	Transfer the scones to a lined baking tray, brush the tops with extra milk and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
