Keep Calm and Eat Scones

Dear Foodies,
Every year my mum runs the Cream Tea stall at our local village event. Every year she makes 200 scones and so this year I decided to help, making over half of them for her in order to both be helpful and to take my mind off my results which came out later the same day. I got making the scones down to under 5 mins and with 10 mins cooking time these are ridiculously quick and yummy treats.

Ingredients:

• 250g Self Raising Flour
• 50g Sugar
• 50g Butter
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 100ml Milk

How to Make:

• Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius/Gas Mark 4
• Place flour, sugar, butter and baking powder in the food processor and blitz to mix all the ingredients together
• Cut butter into cubes and add to mixer before blitzing again to form a fine bread crumb like consistency
• While the mixer is still running add the milk a bit at a time until the mixture begins to combine
• Pour mixture out onto a lightly floured board - combine and roll out to 2-3 cm thick - try not to handle too much
• Use a 6cm cutter and cut out your scones (should make between 8 - 10)
• Cover in milk or egg wash and bake for 10 mins until golden brown
• Eat with cream and strawberry jam
