Description

Scones with freshly whipped cream and a great cup of tea – could life get any better?


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sifted flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  2. Add the wet ingredients.
  3. Put dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth (don’t knead dough too much or scones will be tough).
  4. Pat dough flat and cut into 6 rounds. If you want to make a bigger batch, simply double all the ingredients in the recipe.
  5. Place scones onto prepared baking tray and sprinkle tops with a little plain flour.
  6. Bake at 240°C for +/- 7 minutes (until golden brown).
  7. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with jam and cream.
