2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, add your self-raising flour.

3. 3

   rub the butter into the flour until fully crumbed and resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Stir in raisins, baking powder, and sugar.

5. 5

   In 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. 6

   Cut scones out with a round 7 cm cookie cutter.

7. 7

   Place cut scones onto a baking tray lined with parchment.

8. 8

   Gather 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. 9

   Brushing the top of scones using the mixture that we took before.

    Bake at 210C for roughly 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
