Scones

Method

• step 1

  Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

• step 2

  Add the self-raising flour and butter into the large bowl and rub with your fingertips till it looks like breadcrumbs.

• step 3

  If you would like sweet scones, add the sugar and continue to rub the mix with your fingertips.

• step 4

  add in your milk SLOWLY, I would recommend adding 15ml at a time and mix with a knife

• step 5

  once you have a dough sprinkle plain flour on a clean counter top and knead until about 2cm thick.

• step 6

  use cookie cutters to cut out circles, depending on what size you use but I normally get 6 big ones or 12 small ones.

• step 7

  put in the oven (if you made big ones cook for 1520 minutes) (if you made small ones cook for 8-10 minutes) cook until golden brown.
