Scones Recipe

Prepare the Scones

1. Pre-heat oven to 220°C (200°C for a fan oven) / 425°F / Gas Mark 7. Lightly grease a baking tray and set aside.

2. Empty the scone mix into a bowl. Mix the egg and 70 ml (4½ tablespoons) of milk together, Reserve 2 teaspoons for glazing (see step 4) and then add the remaining liquid to the scone mix. Stir until a smooth dough is formed.

3. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface to approximately 2 cm thickness. Cut into 6 scones using a 6 cm cutter or use the rim of a drinking glass as a template to cut out. Place onto the greased baking tray.

4. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining egg-milk mixture to glaze.

5. Leave to rise for 10 minutes at room temperature.

6. Bake in the centre of the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve with clotted cream and jam.
