Scones

This is the best recipe for scones that I have found, I use half wholemeal and half plain flour.

The recipe is for plain scones but it works well with the following varieties also:

Fruit scones; add 1/2 a cup of dried fruit and two teaspoons of cinnamon.

Cheese Scones;  omit the sugar and add one cup of cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Date scones; add 1/2 a cup of chopped dates and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.

 

Ingredients:
Serves: 6

• 2 cups (250g) flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs sugar
• 1 cup (250ml) milk

1. Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees C.
2. Lightly grease a large baking tray.Whip the egg and add sugar. Beat in the milk.
3. Stir in the (sifted) flour and baking powder.
4. Knead onto a flour dusted bench top until a smooth dough consistency.
