Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 225 grams self raising flour
  • 40 grams butter / margarine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon sultanas
  • 150 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp more milk for glazing

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 220º C (fan 200º C)
  2. First sift the flour into a bowl
  3. Rub the butter into the flour, using your finger tips
  4. Next stir in the sugar and salt
  5. Then take a knife and use it to mix in the milk little by little
  6. Now flour your hands and knead the mixture into a soft dough. You may need to add a drop of milk if it feels dry, or add a little flour if it is too sticky
  7. Sprinkle some flour onto your board and pat out the dough until it is 2 to 2.5 cm thick
  8. Take a pastry cutter and place it on the dough, then tap it so it goes straight through the dough (don't twist it) - we use a child's plastic cup that is 7.5cm in diameter
  9. After you have cut as many scones as you can, knead the leftover dough together and repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have used all the dough
  10. Place all the scones on the baking sheet
  11. Glaze each scone with milk
  12. Bake in oven at 220º C until golden brown (10-15 minutes)
