Scones (plain/fruit/cheese) By:Anon Ingredients (makes 12) 225g/8oz self-raising flour 2tsp baking powder 50g/2oz butter 25g/1oz caster sugar 1 egg milk Method 1. preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas7. Lightly grease two baking trays. 2. Measure the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add the butter and rub in with the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. 3. Break the egg into a measuring jug, then make up to 150ml/5fl oz with milk. Stir the egg and milk into the flour - you may not need it all - and mix to a soft but not sticky dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured work surface, knead lightly and then roll out to a thickness of 1cm/˝in. 4. Cut into rounds with a fluted 5cm/2in cutter and place them on the prepared baking trays. Brush the tops with a little extra milk, or any egg and milk left in the jug, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are a pale golden brown. Lift onto a wire rack to cool. Eat as fresh as possible. Variations Fruit scones: add 40g(1˝oz) dried fruit with the sugar Cheese scones: add 75g(3oz) finely grated cheese in place of the sugar |
