Scones

Last week we made scones.

Ingredients:

3 c Plain Flour
6 t Baking Powder (level)
¼ t Salt
75g  Cold Butter
1 to 1 ½ c Milk
2 T Sugar (optional)

1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl

2. Cut butter into small cubes. Rub the butter into the flour, baking powder, salt gently with fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add sugar (optional)

3. Add milk gradually. Mix quickly with a knife to form a soft dough (the amount of milk required depends on a number of factors)

4. Lightly knead the scone dough a few times on a lightly floured tabletop

5. Pat dough out into a rectangular shape (about 2cm - 2.5 cm thick)

6. Cut scone dough into 8 - 10 even-sized pieces 

7. Place scones onto the oven tray lined with baking paper. Keep them quite close together towards the centre of the tray

8. Brush with milk

9. Bake at 200°C  Bake for  about 8 - 10 minutes until lightly golden and cooked ( you can use Fanbake fuI like scones because they are tasty and soft. But our scones weren't yum they tasted really bad. They were a colour of light brown and white and they didn't look the greatest. I think you should try to make some scones and see if yours are better than ours.
