Scones (serves 4-6)

A cup of tea is never the same without scones - served with freshly whipped cream and homemade jam, of course. By following this easy recipe you can make a batch of this popular British quickbread in no time at all, and be prepared for guests popping in for afternoon tea.

Ingredients:

2 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp margarine
3/4 cup milk

Method:
  1. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  2. Add the wet ingredients.
  3. Put dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth (don’t knead dough too much or scones will be tough).
  4. Pat dough flat and cut into 6 rounds. If you want to make a bigger batch, simply double all the ingredients in the recipe.
  5. Place scones onto prepared baking tray and sprinkle tops with a little plain flour.
  6. Bake at 240°C for +/- 7 minutes (until golden brown).
  7. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with jam and cream.
