Homemade Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
25 g caster sugar
50 g butter
125 ml milk
125 ml water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 220\u00b0C.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
Stir in the sugar, add the slightly softened butter and rub into the flour until resembling bread crumbs.
Add nearly all the milk and water mix, a little at a time, working to a smooth dough. Reserve the remaining milk.
Roll on a lightly floured work surface until 2cm thick.
Using a 5 cm pastry cutter, cut the dough, using one sharp tap and not twisting the dough as you cut.
Brush the tops with the remaining milk mixture.
Place the scones on a greased baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
