Cook Time: 15 mins
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp sugar
50g cold Meander Valley Dairy Unsalted Cultured Butter, diced
125ml Meander Valley Dairy buttermilk, plus extra for wash
1 egg
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray.
- Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, pulse the mixture in a food processor until you get the same result.
- Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Whisk together buttermilk and eggs, pour into the well. Cut the flour with a knife to blend the milk into the flour until it comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured bench top and lightly bring the dough together (it is important to handle the dough as little as possible so it stays light). Pat out into a 2.5 cm thickness. Using a round cutter, cut the dough into portions.
- Place the scones on the lined baking tray and lightly brush with milk. Bake for 12 minutes until golden and brown.
Service Suggestion
Serve with raspberry jam and a dollop of Meander Valley Dairy Double Cream.
