English Scones


Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
60 g (2 oz.) butter
3/4 cup milk (varies according to the flour)
Directions
Sift flour and salt into a bowl and then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add the milk and mix to form a soft dough (add more milk or flour if the consistency is wrong). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly.Roll out to approximately 1cm thickness and cut into squares about 4cm on the side (or use a round biscuit cutter). Place the scones on a lightly greased tray, brush with milk and bake in a hot preheated over until golden; about 12 minutes.Serve hot with jam and whipped cream.
Note
Currents or dates can be added to recipe late in the kneading.
