delicious scones


You will need:
250g self-raising flour
pinch of salt
200ml milk
60g unsalted butter
What to do:
Preheat the oven to 200'c.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self raising flour and salt. Use your fingertips to mix in the butter, until it has the consistency of breadcrumbs.
Mix in the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a dough. Knead it gently, then roll to the thickness of between 3 - 4 cm. Use a small cup to cut rounds and lay them on a non stick baking tray.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until lightly golden.
Scones freeze beautifully - wrap them individually and then just microwave them for 30 seconds before serving with jam and cream. Yum yum!
