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 (make your own self raising 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 (1inch) 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.
