A truly classic scone easy to make at home. Although it has been sometime since I owned and operated my business "Harlequins Continental Bakery" in Balgowlah, I still recall with fond memories the demand on a busy Saturday and Sunday morning for the much loved milk scones.
Milk Scones Recipe
Ingredients for 15
⅓ cup caster sugar (80 g)
110 g butter
250 ml milk
Method
Preheat oven to 200ºC.
Place flour, sugar and butter in a bowl and mix until butter is rubbed into flour and sugar.
Add milk and mix until combined, don’t over mix which will make the scones tough.
Place on a workbench dusted with flour and roll or press out to a thickness of approx 3 cm.
Cut scones with a cutter 5 cm. in diameter.
Place on lightly greased flat baking tray.
Bake in the oven on 200º C approx 12 min.
Serve hot or cold with jam and whipped cream.
Note: If you want to make date scones, add chopped dates as soon the scone mix is combined.
Unbaked scones can be stored in a closed container in the freezer. They will always be best when freshly made and baked.
I am so thrilled that I have finally mastered the art of making scones, for years I have been unable to bake a scone, by following this recipe I have succeeded. Thank you Alex, I can't wait to try more of your recipes.
