Scones

Ingredients

6oz Self Raising Flour
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Raisins/Sultanas
2oz Margarine
3 Fluid oz Milk

Method

Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 7. Rinse the fruit under the tap. Mix the flour and sugar together and then add the fruit and margarine. Mix until you the margarine has combined with the other ingredients. Add half the milk and mix the ingredients. The mixture will start to stick together. Add more milk until the mixture is in a dough but don't let the mixture get too wet. Use your hands to mix/knead the mixture when it gets into a ball. Leave the dough to cool in the fridge for about 15 mins.
Sprinkle some flour onto a clean work surface and your rolling pin. Roll out the mixture to until it is about 2cm thick. Use a cutter or knife to cut out rounds and place on a greased baking tray. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and bake for about 15 minutes on Gas Mark 7. When done allow to cool on a wire rack before enjoying with butter, jam and cream.
