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.

I love date scones and now I’ve made my own. I’ve invited some friends over to have a Kiwi treat. Thanks Edmonds! Rhonda in New Mexico USA

Consistently one of the best scone recipes, can add whatever you want for different flavours and the recipe works without fail. I often add 1/2 cup of grated tasty/aged cheddar cheese and some Parmesan with a teaspoon of chili flakes and it’s delicious. I just made date scones using this recipe; with a bit of oats and cinnamon.
Thanks Edmonds! A classic for a reason
