I used an old favourite Delia Smith recipe which always works well - preheat oven 220c or gas mark 7
225 g self raising flour
40g of butter
150mls of milk
1-2 tablespoons caster sugar
a little extra flour
1. sift flour and rub in fat, then stir in sugar.
2. gradually add the milk (I mix it in with a knife)
3. roll out to about a 2cm thickness and use a 5cm cutter ( will make about 12 scones)
4. pop onto a baking sheet and dust with a little extra flour and cook for about 12 - 15 minutes.
So quick - serve with jam and clotted cream - yummy........

Oh yes, you can't beat a home baked scone - they look scrumptious Sue, I'm not surprised they don't last long!

They look delicious! I'm going to eat my screen now. Haha.
ReplyDeleteSave me some I will be right over!
ReplyDeleteThose scone have risen very impressively! I never make scones until June or July, then all the fresh strawberries have me in a frenzy of buying clotted cream and making strawberry jam. x
ReplyDeleteYummy yummy. Looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those look amazingly good. There is nothing better than a warm scone, smothered in butter and jam. Unless it's a warm scone smothered in clotted cream and jam. :-)
ReplyDeleteY.U.M - just the perfect accompaniment to clotted cream & strawb jam :-)

It's freezing here so making a batch of scones might just warm us up. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
