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.

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....

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
