Scones (Sweet Spelt Scones)

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it reaches a crumbly consistency.

In another bowl, whisk the milk with the egg, then pour it into the dry ingredients. Knead until a compact dough forms, then briefly knead it on a floured board. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1.5 cm and cut out 5 cm diameter circles using a glass.

Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, brush the tops with beaten egg, and bake at 200 °C for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
