Scones in Cup measurements

1 Cup self raising flour

1.5oz 3 tablespoons of butter

1/2 Cup or 1/4 pint of milk

1.5 tablespoons of caster sugar

If you don't have self raising flour use General purpose and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Rub butter into the flour (and baking powder) then add the salt and sugar. Then slowly fold in the milk to make soft dough. Kneed to make a dough ball. You want it to come out of the ball clean and stay together. If too wet and sticky add flour, if too dry and crumbly add milk.

Shape into ball and flatten to a thickness of 2 cm - you can be neat a roll it out and use a circular cutter.

Bake in preheated oven @ 425F for 12 -15 mins or until golden brown.
