Stay Fresh Scones

 

Don’t know why these are called stay-fresh; they never last long enough in our house to find out how good they are at staying fresh!

Ingredients

• 500g self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar
• 2 rounded teaspoons baking powder
• 60g melted butter

Method

1. Sift dry ingredients in a bowl
2. Add beaten egg, milk and butter
3. Quickly combine all ingredients into a dough
4.  Gently roll out to required thickness (about 2cm)
5. Cut circles using medium size round cutter
6. Stand scones close together on a greased baking tray for a further 15 minutes
7. Bake at 210C for 10 minutes

 Handy Hints:

• Dough will be fairly sticky.
• When working with dough try not to add too much extra flour
• For a savoury scone to serve with soup, add herbs and grated cheese to mixture ( a mixture of tasty and parmesan cheese would be nice), you could also add some paprika for extra flavour
