Basic White Scones
Preparation time:
20 minutes
Cooking time:
10 minutes to 15 minutes
Total time:
30 minutes to 35 minutes
Makes:
18 scones
Ingredients
3 eggs
900g plain white flour
Large pinch of salt
3 tsp baking powder
170g butter, cubed
55g caster sugar
400ml milk
Glaze
Eggwash (1 egg whisked with a pinch of salt)
Granulated sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 250C/gas 9.
Sieve the flour, salt, and baking powder into a large, wide bowl. Add the butter and rub in lightly, using your thumb and fingertips, until the mix resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the centre.
Whisk the eggs with the milk, add to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board. Lightly shape the dough into a round and roll out to about 2.5cm thick. Cut into scones with a 6.5cm cutter.
Put on a baking sheet (no need to grease). Brush with eggwash and dip each scone in granulated sugar. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with jam and cream. Eat the same day.
To make fruit scones, add 110g sultanas to the mix after rubbing in the butter.
