- Grease baking sheet
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and mix together to make sure well combined
- Crack the egg into the milk and whisk until well combined
- Dot the butter into the bowl with the flour mix and using fingertips blend until resembles course breadcrumbs
- Add the milk and egg mixture to the bowl a little at a time using a wooden spoon until forms a dough. Do not over mix. You may not need all the egg and milk. Stop adding when all ingredients are combined into a dough thats not too wet and sticky
- Dust work surface and hands with flour, turn the dough out and knead quickly into a ball. Pat the ball of dough down with your hand and then roll so the dough its 1-2 cms high.
- Using a lightly floured cookie cutter or other round implement cut out your scones from the dough. Ball up the leftover dough, re-roll and cut some more scones until you run out of dough
- Place scones on greased baking sheet well spaced. Either brush with milk for a brown top or dust with flour depending on your preferance.
- Put baking sheet into middle of oven. The scones take approx 15-20 mins. They should have risen and be lightly browned. To test if cooked put a toothpick into the centre of one, it should come out clean.
- Leave to cool down a bit on a wire rack
- Serve with butter or thick cream (clotted cream is best) and jam of your choice. Instead of jam you could use fresh fruit. Sliced strawberries are good :)
These scones really ARE the best scones I've ever had, and I used to be a professional pastry chef. I made a few minor changes to adjust them to what I was looking for- I added vanilla, substituted white and semi-sweet chocolate chips for the currants, and left off the egg wash. English scones contain more leavening agent than you would normally use for this amount of flour but you want them to rise high in a short time. And you don't really add add-ins into the dough like in the US version. British scones are preferred plain, sometimes a few raisins are added but that's very rare.
