Scones

How to make Scones

📝 Ingredients

• 680gr self-raising flour (plus extra for dusting)
• 170gr cold butter, chopped small
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup (4oz/113g) sugar
• 1/2 cup (4oz/113g) raisins
• 300 ml milk (I used buttermilk)
• 2 eggs (beaten)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Instructions ---
2. 2In a large mixing bowl, add your self-raising flour.
3. 3rub the butter into the flour until fully crumbed and resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. 4Stir in raisins, baking powder, and sugar.
5. 5In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk and until thoroughly combined (take 5 tbsp of mixture for brushing). Pour the mixture into your flour mix and stir until a soft dough is formed. Transfer dough to a floured surface and press to 2 cm thick. (If your scones are not forming a dough add a little more liquid.)
6. 6Cut scones out with a round 7 cm cookie cutter.
7. 7Place cut scones onto a baking tray lined with parchment.
8. 8Gather remaining dough in a ball, re-flatten then cut scones from dough. Repeat until the entire batch of dough is cut into scones. If you have a little excess dough left, just pat it onto the top of the scones.
9. 9Brushing the top of scones using the mixture that we took before.
10. 10Bake at 210C for roughly 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
11. 11Serve warm or fully cooled with butter, jam, or fresh cream.
