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.

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.

I used this recipe to make something called a twist which looks more fancy with a hex extra steps first I make this scone recipe then I split it into 2 and roll each part to be quite thin then like cinnamon rolls I put a filling my favourite is cinnamon sugar on a thin butter layer to stick but there is also a savoury tomato sauce and cheese then you roll it up like a cinnamon roll after that you cut the roll in half vertically so you get 2 half circle then you stick the top parts to farther than start overlapping when side on the other making a twist like braid then you stick the bottom prices together and put a splash of Milk on it before it goes into the oven like this recipe says.try it it’s amazing
