Basic Scones

Before we venture into making flavoured scones, I thought we'd start with the basics.

This is a classic plain scone nothing fancy but very addictive and delicious!

Now of course since this is a base recipe, you can pretty much do anything with it! Make is savoury, add choc chips or even fruit.

This recipe is an easy one and shouldn't take that much time from you.

It'll make around 10 scones depending on what size cutter you use.

Ingredients:

300g Self Raising Flour

30g Caster Sugar

1tsp Salt

125g Unsalted Butter cold

1 Egg

75g Milk

Egg Wash – for top

Method:

Mix dry ingredients together, then grate in the butter.
Using your hands rub butter and flour together till the mixture is crumbly and just combined.
Create a well, then to the centre add milk and egg, mix together and start to mix in your flour. Knead till a soft dough forms. (make sure not to over mix or knead the dough)
cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Lightly flour the bench and roll out the dough. Not too thin. Maybe around 2-3cm max. Using the third cookie cutter, cut your scones and place onto a lined tray with a little space between each scone.
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake at 180c for 12 minutes. The scones should be lightly golden brown on top.
Once the scones have fully cooled down, slice in half, fill with jam and whipped cream.
