THE BEST SCONE RECIPE EVER

Ingredients

• 3 cups self raising flour (no self raising flour? see notes)
• pinch salt
• 2 oz butter
• 1 1/4 cups milk plus extra
• Metric - US Customary

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 230°C/450°F
2. Sift flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. It's fine even better if some of the butter is not completely rubbed in. Leave little pebbles of butter.
3. Stir in the milk with a flat bladed knife. Depending on the weather and your flour you may need a spoonful or two more of  milk. The dough should be sticky.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently for a brief 30 seconds. (Hint: count quickly to 30). Pat into a flat round about 3 centimetres thick.
5. Cut with a floured cutter pressing straight down and not twisting. Place on baking paper lined tray close together.
6. Bake in the hottest part of the preheated oven. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
7. Remove scones from the oven and wrap in a clean teatowel. This will keep them soft and tender.
