Scones!

This is the main scone recipe I use. It is from the Mary Berry Baking Bible.

Ingredients

450g Self-Raising Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
75g Softened Butter
50g Caster Sugar
2 Large Eggs
About 225ml Milk

Steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees celsius/ 200 fan/Gas Mark 7 and lightly grease 2 baking trays.

Step 2

Put the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Then rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. After that stir in the sugar.

Step 3

Beat the eggs and then slowly add the milk until it makes 300ml in total, then put 2 tablespoons of this to the side for later. Gradually add the mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring it in until it forms a soft dough. It should be on the wet side.

Step 4

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to get it to a thickness of 1-2cm. Use a fluted cutter to stamp out the scones. Repeat until all the dough is used up. Place the scones onto the baking trays and glaze the tops of them with the egg mixture.

Step 5

Bake them in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until well risen and golden. Allow them to cool and then enjoy.
