Scones are the perfect tea time treat.
This basic scone recipe can be altered by adding a handful of sultanas or cherries to the mixture.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 220/200 Fan/Gas Mark 7.
In a mixing bowl add the dry ingredients together and then rub in the butter mixing until it resembles small breadcrumbs
Using a measuring jug beat the eggs and add enough milk to make 300 ml of liquid.
Pour this into to the centre of the mixture and mix well to obtain a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to about 2 cm thick.
Prick over with a fork and cut into small rounds about 1½ inches (3.8cm) in diameter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Scones are delicious if served warm.
Cut in two and spread with butter and/or jam to add even more flavour and moisture.
