01.Scones
Ingredients
Serves: approximatly 18-20 depending on size
500 g self raising flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
60 g butter, room temperature, chopped
350 mls whole milk
Method
- Preheat oven to 210°C with the fan on or 230°C with no fan.
- Grease a baking tray.
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl and rub the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Using a butter knife stir in milk to make a soft dough.
- Pour dough out onto a floured bench, knead the dough lightly with fingertips until you get a fairly smooth dough, no more than 1 minute.
- Roll out to a 15 mm thickness and cut into rounds (5 – 6cm) and place symmetrically onto a greased scone tray approximately 2 cm apart.
- Brush scones with milk.
- Bake on the top shelf of the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until golden browned.
Tips
- If you have an old conventional oven you may need to turn the tray half way during cooking so the scones cook evenly.
- Serve with whipped cream and raspberry jam.
- Once made the scones can be frozen for up to 1 month.
- Light hand touch is needed when kneading the dough.

The term fruit spread sounds so much healthier than jam. The reality is while jam has its own food standard and strict definition, fruit spread doesn’t.
