Ingredients Melted butter, for greasing
Plain flour, for dusting
450g (3 cups) self-raising flour
Pinch salt
1 tbs sugar
80g chilled butter, cubed
250mls (1 cup) milk
Extra milk, for brushing
Strawberry jam and thick cream, to serve
MethodPreheat oven to 230°C. Lightly grease a baking tray with the melted butter and then dust with a little flour. Combine self-raising flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the milk and stir with a round-bladed knife using a cutting motion until just combined. Lightly flour your hands and bring the mixture together to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your fingertips 4-5 times. Flatten with the palm of your hand to about 2cm thick and then cut the dough into rounds using a 5cm cutter. Place the rounds about 1cm apart on the prepared baking tray and brush lightly with the extra milk. Dust with a little flour and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they're golden and sound hollow when tapped on the top. Serve warm with jam and cream.
Aunty Sue gave me a "Secret Recepi" to make plain scones. The recepi is just easy and fast. I like it.
The first baking classes that I had with Aunty Sue was Dates Scones. It was very yummy. We tried to make some plain scones for few other lessons so that I can practise more. I want to practise more as my friend told me she love scones most. So, I requested more scones class.I wish to have oven with me now so that I can try on cranberries scones and dates scones again ;)
