How to Make Easy Rhubarb Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  4. Shape the dough into a 10-inch diameter circle, about ¾ inch thick, on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  5. Sprinkle the scones with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  6. Bake the scones in the preheated oven until they are light golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  7. Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
