For 8 servings
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir with a fork until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and slightly sticky. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 2-3 times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle, about 7 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
