Scones

2 Cups Self Raising Flour
3/4 cup milk
30g Butter
1 tsp sugar

  1. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips. It should look like breadcrumbs when you are done;
  2. Add sugar, and then stir in the milk. You should get a soft but not sticky dough (if need be, add more flour. SLOWLY!);
  3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and gently shape the dough until it is about 2.5 cm thick;
  4. Cut out scones with a pastry cutter, gently shaping leftover dough back into a 2.5 cm slab to continue cutting until you run out of dough;
  5. Place in a 22o°C oven for 12-15 minutes. The scones will be golden brown;
  6. Serve with jam and cream.
