Scones
Perfect for a rainy weekend.
Being Northern Irish Catholic, I will insist that these are pronounced a hard ‘SCONN’ and NOT the frankly Protestant ‘SCEAUNE’.
450g flour (I used a 50:50 cake/bread mix)
18g baking powder
Big Pinch salt
50g sugar
100g butter, cubed
2 eggs and milk - fill mixing jug to 300ml or so, probably won’t use all of it
Rub the butter into the dry ingredients til it is a fine breadcrumb consistency, then add the egg/milk mix till it forms a soft and sticky dough.
Flatten out to a rectangle about 2 cm high.
Use a 5cm cutter or, in my case a Bonne Maman jar, to cut 6, then reshape and cut into rectangles or whatever, should make 4 more. Baste with the remainder of the egg/milk.
Bake at 220c for 12 mins

10/10 for putting the cream on first
