Ingredients

Imperial | Metric | USA
  • 225g self raising flour
  • salt
  • 55g butter
  • 25g caster sugar
  • 150ml milk

Optional

  • jam
  • clotted cream

Directions

Step 1

Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter.

Step 2

Scone mixture in a bowl

Stir in the sugar and then the milk to get a soft dough.

Step 3

Scone being cut out with a cookie cutter

On a floured surface knead the dough lightly. Pat the dough to around a 2cm thickness and then use a cookie cutter.

Step 4

Scones before being put in the oven

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

Scones cooling down on a wire rack

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!

Would you tweak this recipe? If so, how?

e.g. Add half a chopped onion, use less butter, shake not stir...
