# Step-by-step guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly combined.
03 - Add cubed cold butter to dry mix and cut in using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together dandelion honey, milk, and egg until fully blended.
05 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and use a fork or spatula to gently mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
06 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut out scones using a 2.5-inch cutter, re-rolling scraps as needed.
07 - Arrange scones on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with a little milk to encourage browning.
08 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool briefly on a wire rack.
