Sultana Scones

Adapted from Mary Berry's scones recipe.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g self raising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 100 g butter grate cold from the fridge
  • 2 eggs
  • 30 ml milk varies by egg size
  • 50 g sultanas

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C Fan / 220C.
  2. Weigh flour, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl.
  3. Grate butter in to the same bowl and rub in to form a mixture with the texture of breadcrumbs.
  4. Break the eggs into a measuring jug and top up with milk to 300ml. Stir together.
  5. Add the milk and egg mixture gradually to the dry ingredients using a palette knife or tablespoon to stir until it forms a soft and sticky dough. You should be left with a couple of tablespoons of the mixture for glazing the scones. Mix in the sultanas.
  6. Roll out on a floured surface to 2cm thick and use a 5cm cutter to cut out scones. Turn the cut scones over and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining egg and milk mixture and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  8. Cool on a wire rack. Eat or freeze the same day.
