Scones

Here's a super easy and fail-safe scone recipe from Super Food Ideas that I've tried and tested a few times now.

Ingredients:
Plain flour for dusting
3 cups of self raising flour
80g butter, cubed
1 - 1 1/4 cups milk

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly dust a baking tray with flour, or line the tray with baking paper. Sift self raising flour into a large bowl.
2. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Make a well in the centre and add 1 cup of milk. Mix with a flat-bladed knife until the mixture forms a soft dough, you may need to add more milk to get to the right consistency. Turn on to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
4. Pat the dough into a 2cm thick round. Using a 5cm round cutter, cut out aprrox 12 rounds. Press the dough back together and cut out remaining rounds. Place scones on to the baking tray, about 1 cm apart. Sprinkle the tops with a little plain flour.
5. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and well risen.
6. Serve warm with jam and cream.
