Scones

Ingredients

8 oz self-raising flour
A pinch of salt
3 oz butter – diced (room temperature)
1 ½ oz caster sugar
I large egg
2 tablespoons of milk

How to make them

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220 Fahrenheit.
Step2: Sieve the flour into a bowl and add the salt, then lightly rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Mix in the caster sugar.
Step 4: In a separate jug, mix the egg and milk together and pour it gently into the dry mixture, stirring with a palette knife.
Step 5: Use your hands to finish it off into a soft, non-sticky consistency – add extra flour or milk sparingly, if needed.
Step 6: When it leaves the bowl’s sides clean, roll out on a floury surface to no less than an inch thick.
Step 7: Use a round cutter and cut circles out, being careful not to twist the dough as you cut.
Step 8: Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 220 Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Step 9: Take out and cool slightly on a rack.
Step 10: Serve with clotted cream and jam.
