Ingredients

  • 2 cups self raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 25 g caster sugar
  • 50 g butter
  • 125 ml milk
  • 125 ml water

Method

  • Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
  • Stir in the sugar, add the slightly softened butter and rub into the flour until resembling bread crumbs.
  • Add nearly all the milk and water mix, a little at a time, working to a smooth dough. Reserve the remaining milk.
  • Roll on a lightly floured work surface until 2cm thick.
  • Using a 5 cm pastry cutter, cut the dough, using one sharp tap and not twisting the dough as you cut.
  • Brush the tops with the remaining milk mixture.
  • Place the scones on a greased baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
