Fruit Scones

Fruit Scones


You will need:

450 grams of plain flour (sifted)

Pinch of salt

20 Grams of baking powder

75 grams of butter or margarine

2 eggs

140 ml of buttermilk or plain milk

85 grams of sultanas

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.

Put the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Rub in the butter or margarine, until the mix becomes like breadcrumbs.
Add in the sultanas.
Whisk the eggs and milk in a jug and add to the flour mixture.

Work well until the mix comes together in a ball, leaving the bowl clean.

Place the mixture on a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or two.
Roll the scone mix out to a thickness of about 1 inch, flouring lightly if needed.

Use a cutter to cut into rounds.

Brush any remaining egg and milk mixture on top of each scone and place on a greased and lightly floured baking tray.

Bake the scones for about 12-15 minutes until slightly golden on top.


Leave to cool on a wire rack and eat the same day.
