Scones with JamWhen you want a simple but tasty scone why not try this recipe. These scones go down well spread with butter and jam and a nice cup of tea or coffee at break time or any time! Why not try one for dessert with strawberries and cream!

The recipe makes about 12 scones.

Ingredients:

Strong White Flour 500g 1lb 2oz
Eggs 2
Caster Sugar 75g 3oz
Baking Powder 30g 1oz
Butter 75g 3oz
Milk 230ml 8fl oz
Raisins 100g 3½oz

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 220C (425F, gas mark 7 ) and grease a baking tray. 

Put the flour and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs then stir in the sugar and rasins. Beat the eggs add to the mixture with enough milk to make a firm dough.   

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 2/3cm (about 1 inch) thick and cut out the scones with a round cutter placing them on a baking tray.

Brush the top of the scones with a little milk (or with an extra beaten egg if you prefer) for a glaze.

SconesBake for 15 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool a little.

I like my scone a bit rustic. The scones can be served warm or cold with your choice of butter, jam and cream (or all three for a real treat).
