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.
