Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps to aerate the flour and avoid lumps. Cream the butter and sugar: Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the wet ingredients: Add the egg and buttermilk to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough. Rest the dough: Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Roll out the dough: Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 13 mm (1/2 inch). Cut out the scones: Use a 6 cm (2.5-inch) round cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place them upside down on a baking sheet lined with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Glaze the scones:
