Ingredients

• 100 g butter
• 450 g self-raising flour
• 30 g golden caster sugar
• 1 free-range egg, beaten
• 250 ml milk

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 210c/gas 7.
• 2 rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. stir in the sugar.
• 3 mix the egg with the milk and stir into the flour mixture until you have a soft dough. knead the dough lightly just to bring it together on a work surface.
• 4 pat the dough out with the flat of your hands until it is about 3cm thick. don’t use a rolling pin as you may squash it down too much.
• 5 cut the scone shapes using a 5cm cutter or small water glass and place on a baking sheet. brush with a little milk and bake in the oven until the scones are golden and risen — about 10-12 minutes. cool on a wire rack and dust with icing sugar before eating with devon clotted cream and home-made jam.
