Name: Best Ever Scones
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 3 cups Edmonds standard flour; 6 tsp Edmonds baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; 1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk; 75g butter

Ingredients

3 cups Edmonds standard grade flour
5 tsp Edmonds baking powder
¼ tsp salt
extra Meadow Fresh milk
75g butter
1 to 1 ½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately

Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

I bake scones with children at kindergarten. Simple recipe to make and taste very good with butter and strawberry jam.

Isabelle bourke

We love making these and putting cream and jam on them

Anne Lorimer

There is far too much baking powder in these scones! They were awful

Mary

This is my favourite scone recipe.

Michaela

I could taste the baking soda and it was very strong unfortunately. It’s a shame - the scones came out nice and fluffy and were easy to make. I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong but I followed the recipe exactly.

Alex

Absolutely recommend this recipe!

This is the best Scone recipe in the world! I have used it for years and it never, ever fails! I grate some cheese into the mix. Roll out the dough then use an upturned glass to cut into perfect circles....

lana

delicious with jam and cream

Jacs

Best scones ever , I add 25g more butter and they come out perfect every time . Even with gluten free flour just need a bit more milk or an egg
