Basic Scone


Description

Beautifully light and fluffy scones. Serve scones with cream and jam for a lovely afternoon tea.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cup self-raising flour
60 g cold butter, chopped
3/4 cup cold milk, plus extra to glaze
Jam or marmalade, to serve
Whipped cream, to serve

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift into a large bowl. Rub in butter to make fine crumbs.

2. Make a well in centre; add milk. Using a round-bladed knife, cut through mixture until it forms a soft dough, adding 1-2 tablespoons more milk if needed. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until smooth, then shape into a 2cm-thick round.

3. Using a 5.5cm cutter dipped into flour, cut round from dough. Place scones side by side on prepared tray. Brush tops with extra milk to glaze. Bake for 12-15 min or until golden and well risen. Serve scones with jam and cream.

Enjoy!
