Ingredients
- 7.9oz self raising flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.9oz butter
- 0.9oz caster sugar
- 5fl oz milk
Optional
Directions
Step 1
Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter.
Step 2
Stir in the sugar and then the milk to get a soft dough.
Step 3
On a floured surface knead the dough lightly. Pat the dough to around a 2cm thickness and then use a cookie cutter.
Step 4
Place the scones onto a greased baking sheet or onto parchment paper. Brush milk onto the scones so that they will brown in the oven. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 220ºC / 430ºF / gas mark 7 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and well risen.
Step 5
Allow to cool on a wire rack before storing for up to a week in an air tight container. Although they are best served warm!
