A delicious scones recipe.
Moderate
Ingredients
450g self-rising flour
½ tablespoon baking powder
220ml cooking cream
220ml milk, plus extra for brushing
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced) and lightly dust a baking tray with flour.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
Create a well in the center, add milk and cream, then mix with a flat-bladed knife until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, avoiding over-kneading.
Roll or pat the dough to 2cm thick. Use a 5cm round cutter to cut out rounds and place them on the prepared tray 1cm apart. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
