Basic Milk Scones

An actually easy scone to make at home for morning or afternoon tea.

Ingredients for 15

3 cups self raising flour (500 g)

⅓ cup caster sugar (80 g)

110 g butter

250 ml milk

Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC normal bake. 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 5 cm round cutter. Place on lightly greased flat baking tray. Bake in the oven for approx. 12 min. Serve hot or cold with jam and whipped cream.

Note: Self raising flour is made with 475 gram plain white flour mixed with 25 gram baking powder.
