Scones

Published in Family Favourites, Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 6 tsp icing sugar
  • 3 heaped tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 50 g softish butter
  • 1 egg
  • cream and milk

Preparation:

  • Sift dry ingredients together. Place in the bowl of the processor. Rub in the butter.
  • Break the egg into a 250 ml measuring cup, and make it up to one cupful with the cream and milk. Beat lightly to combine.
  • Using the pulse button, and on maximum speed, combine the liquid with the dry mixture. Be very careful not to overbeat.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out gently to a 1 – 1.5 cm thickness. Cut out rounds with a very sharp cutter, and place on a very lightly floured baking tray. Knead the scraps together and cut more rounds.
  • Bake at 210 – 220° C for 8 – 10 minutes.

Variation:

  • Reduce the quantity of icing sugar to 1 scant teaspoon, and add about ½ cup of grated sharp cheese. Continue as above, but brush the tops with egg or milk glaze and sprinkle a little more grated cheese on each scone.

Makes about 12 – 14 medium scones.
