Scones

Ingredients

440g Plain Flour
50g Baking Powder
80g Caster Sugar
A Good Pinch of Salt
80g Unsalted Butter
40g Sultanas
150ml Double Cream
150ml Milk

Egg Wash
1 Egg
1 Egg Yolk
A Good Pinch of Salt

Method

·     Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a bowl.
·      Add the diced butter and rub in to resemble breadcrumbs.
·      Add the sultanas.
·      Add the milk and cream and bring the dough together. Once the dough comes together kneed it gently until it forms a smooth ball, don’t over kneed.
·      Cover the dough with cling film and chill for 1 hour.
·      Preheat the oven to 190°C.
·      Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2.5cm/1”.
·      Cut out with a cutter, flip the scones over so that the bottom becomes the top and place on a tray lined with baking parchment.
·      Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
·      Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
·      If you’re a little unsure if the scones are cooked just pull one apart and look at the centre.
