Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg
50g cold Meander Valley Dairy Unsalted Cultured Butter, diced
125ml Meander Valley Dairy Traditional Buttermilk, plus extra for wash
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray.
- Sift flour, baking powder 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 onto the lined baking tray and lightly brush with milk. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and brown.
- Serve with raspberry jam and a dollop of double cream.
