Mum's Simple Economy Scones image

I learned how to make these when I was a little girl. After looking at other more complex recipes, involving eggs and cream, I thought there might be space for mine. All you need is self- rising flour, butter and milk, and Hey Presto! You have afternoon tea or a snack.

Time 20m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups self rising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
30 g butter
250 ml milk

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 250C
  • Sift flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Rub in the butter with your fingertips, until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Make a well, and add almost all of the milk.
  • (Reserve about a tbs) With a butter knife, quickly work in the milk to the flour, making a dough.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough very lightly.
  • Flatten gently with your hands to 1.5cm thick
  • Use a round cutter to cut out discs.
  • On a buttered tray place scones next to each other.
  • Brush with reserved milk.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until scones sound hollow when tapped.
  • Serve with tea, whipped cream and strawberry jam and you have Devonshire tea.
  • Or add herbs/grated cheese for savoury scones to serve with soups and casseroles.
