Scones

By Lee

If you have trouble making good scones these might just do the trick. Extra baking powder and standing time helps to keep these light and fluffy.

Ingredients

• 500 g self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tbs icing sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 60 g butter melted

Preparation

Step 1

Method
STEP 1 Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.
STEP 2 Add beaten egg, milk and butter.
STEP 3 Quickly combine all ingredients into a dough.
STEP 4 Stand dough on a floured board for 20 minutes.
STEP 5 Gently roll out to required thickness (about 2 cm).
STEP 6 Cut out circles using the rim of a glass dipped in flour.
STEP 7 Stand scones close together on a lightly floured baking tray for a further 15 minutes.
STEP 8 Bake at 210C for 10 minutes.
Notes
Dough will be fairly sticky. When working the dough try not to add too much extra flour.
