Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and sugar to ensure they are well combined and to remove any lumps.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture, then pour in the milk. Gently mix with a spatula or your hands until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it to a uniform texture. Pat the dough out to a thickness of about 2 cm (3/4 inch).
Use a round cookie cutter or a small glass to cut out circles from the dough. Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray. Gather any remaining dough, re-pat it, and cut out more scones until all dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are lightly golden on top.
Remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Slice the scones in half and serve warm with your favorite jam and a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- For best results, ensure your butter is cold before incorporating it into the flour mixture. This helps create a flaky texture.
- Avoid overmixing the dough once you add the milk; overworking it can result in tough scones.
- Use a sharp cutter to shape your scones to prevent them from becoming misshapen during baking.
- Bake the scones immediately after preparing the dough to ensure they rise properly.
- Serve the scones warm for the best texture. If you need to reheat them, a brief stint in the oven will help maintain their flakiness.
You've now crafted a batch of delightful baby scones that are just perfect for any occasion. Whether you serve them fresh from the oven or later in the day, these scones are sure to be a hit. Paired with your favorite jam and a generous dollop of cream, they offer a comforting and indulgent treat that everyone will love. Happy baking!
