Scones

On Tuesday when I was entertaining Beccy's friend, Mary, I wanted to impress her by making fresh scones to go with coffee. Alas, I made them too moist and they were not that wonderful scone shape. They tasted OK but I was disappointed, so I'm going to have to make some more just to get it right.
Of course, Mary was far too polite to comment on the shape, and we did have the last of a pot of Beccy's lovely raspberry jam to go with them.

Recipe:
2lbs S.R. Flour
12oz butter
Pinch salt
6 tablespoons castor sugar
6 oz sultanas(I left mine plain)
4 eggs lightly beaten
4-6 fl.oz milk, soured cream or natural yoghurt

Oven Temp 220F (200c) Bake 10 mins.

Method:
Rub butter into flour
Add salt, castor sugar, sultanas, egg and mix.
Gradually add milk to make soft dough
Dough on floured surface 1 inch thick.

(I actually halved the quantity).

Tomorrow I might try making hot cross buns!
