MAKING SCONES

This week we made scones. They were very nice. This is how we made them. You will need:
225g flour (self-raising)
55g butter
25g of caster sugar
150ml milk
Pinch of salt

If you are making cheese scones, leave out the sugar and add some grated cheese. If you want to make sweet scones, add the sugar and add some raisins.

Here is how you do it:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 220C. Grease a baking tray.

2. Mix the flour and salt together. Rub the butter into the mixture.

3. To get a dough, first stir in the sugar and raisins or the cheese, and then the milk.

4. Knead the dough onto a work surface that has been floured. Roll out the dough to about 2cm thick. Then cut out small circles using a cutter.

5. Brush the top of the scones with a little milk and then put inot the oven. Bske for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown.

6. Cool on a rack and then enjoy.

Which scones did you prefer - the sweet or the cheesy scones?
