Scones recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups [8 oz] of self-raising flour [If you use plain flour add 2 tablespoons of baking power]
  • 2 ounces of margarine or lard
  • 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda [If you use baking powder leave out the bi-carb]
  • Half cup [quarter pint] of milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and rub together to a sort of breadcrumb mix.
  2. Add all the milk at once and mix lightly to a spongy dough.
  3. Knead lightly to make the dough smooth and roll it out to about half to thre-quarters inch thick.
  4. Cut out with a 2 inch round cutter [or if like me you can't find yours then use a mug]
  5. brush lightly with milk and bake in a hot oven (220 - 230 degrees C, 425 - 450 degrees F or gas mark 7 - 8] for about 10 minutes.

Makes about 12 - 15 scones - Enjoy!!
