- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 75 g Unsalted butter(cold and cubed)
- 50 g Granulated sugar

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 3
Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- 4
Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in most of the milk. Mix with a knife until a soft dough forms, adding a little more milk if needed.
- 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together. Pat it out to about 2cm (3/4 inch) thickness. Do not overwork the dough.
- 6
Cut out rounds using a 5-6cm (2-2.5 inch) cutter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk or egg wash.
- 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Meanwhile, for the compote, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and has broken down, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.

Serve the cooled scones warm with the rhubarb compote and whipped cream.
