Scones

Scones have to be the perfect accompaniment to any picnic, the only questions is, is it jam or cream first?

Method

• In a bowl rub the butter into the flour with your hands or you could do this in a mixing machine until all the butter has been incorporated
• Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients together in the bowl and stir to make sure it’s all even.
• Add milk and cream and mix till just combined.
• Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour to let the dough relax.
• Roll out on to the work surface and cut to whatever size and shape to like but don’t roll it too thin! Should be about 3cm high
• Glaze with either egg or just milk
• Bake at 200c for 10 mins
