My Favourite Scones

Fresh scones out the oven with a nice strong cup of tea, are one of the small joys in life. Served with jam and cream or even grated cheddar cheese, these are wonderful for tea time and one of my favourite recipes. Personally... I think these are the best!

Ingredients:
500ml (280g) flour
15ml baking powder
2ml salt
75ml (60g) castor sugar
65g margarine or butter
1 egg
125ml milk

Method:
Sift dry ingredients together then add sugar
Rub margarine into dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix egg and milk together and add to dry ingredients, forming a soft but not sticky dough
Turn out onto a floured surface and pat lightly. Place spoonfuls onto a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 12-15minutes
Serve with jam and cream
