Plain Scones Recipe

Here is a basic recipe for traditional scones:

  • Prep time: 15-20 minutes
  • Cook time: 10-12 minutes
  • Serves: 12

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 30g butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup water

How to Make Plain Scones

  • Preheat your oven to 210 degrees Celsius and prepare a baking sheet by greasing with butter or oil.
  • Sift flour into a mixing bowl.
  • Chop butter into small pieces and add to flour.
  • Make a small depression in the middle of the flour and butter mixture.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and water.
  • Slowly pour liquid into the depression made in the flour.
  • Mix all ingredients with a flat knife until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.
  • Roll out the dough to form a 2cm thick round.
  • Cut the dough into individual scones approximately 5cm in diameter.
  • Place scones on baking sheet and glaze with milk.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until scones are golden brown.

Plain Wholemeal Scones

These are the healthy alternative. Simply replace self-raising flour with wholemeal self-raising flour and add an extra tablespoon of milk.
