- Get your oven heated to 220°C first, and grease a baking tray with butter.
- Mix 235g self-raising flour with a pinch of salt and rub in 50g butter.
- Stir in 25g caster sugar and 60g of currants and sultanas.
- Beat an egg and add 1/4 pint milk, beating well. Add this to your mixture, keeping a little bit back for later on.
- 5. Dust your work surface with flour and place your mixture on your floury surface. Dust your hands and rolling pin too.
- 6. Roll your mixture to 2cm thick; using a round cutter (a glass works if you don't have any), cut out your scones.
7. Gather your scraps of mixture and repeat, as above, until you have used up all the mixture.
8. Brush the tops with your remaining milky egg and bake in the oven for twelve minutes.
Skowns or skons? I'm the latter!
ReplyDeleteLike the look of these, but I'd leave out the fruit myself. :-)
Ah, I'm skowns! SKOWNS!!! :) x
ReplyDeleteI think I'm the latter but I just asked Chris and he says skons - then again he's a northerner (well not really if you could Huntingdon that much further north than Bedford lol).
ReplyDeleteEither way I don't care how it's said as long as it tastes good!
