Best Ever Scones

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Made by substituting the butter for 35g margarine and 35g coconut oil, softened. This turned out very well as a dairy free version!

I substitute it with self raising flour and you don’t get the baking powder taste. The best scones recipe ever!!

Best scones recipe. Scones always turn out light and fluffy and a beautiful slight crunch on the outside. I add cheese as an alternative sometimes.
