Directions:
- Sift the dry ingredients together.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Rub with the fingertips lightly. The mixture should resemble course crumbs. You can do this step in a food processor, but put the mixture into a bowl before adding the liquid.
- Add your liquid and mix lightly and gently with a butterknife or the fingertips. Don't over mix, this can create heavy scones.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press out gently into an oblong shape, about 20mm thick.
- Cut into squares or use a scone cutter.
- Pop them onto a baking tray. Brush the tops with a bit of milk and bake at 240C (475F) until done, about 10 minutes.
- VARIATIONS.
- Use 1/2 cup sour cream instead of the butter and the milk or milk and egg.
- Cheese scones: Add 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar and omit the sugar.
- Fruit scones: Add 1/2 cup raisins to the dough.
