Wednesday was my day off, and to celebrate I decided to bake scones and ride my bike over to a friend's house for a picnic in the sunshine. I usually SUCK at making scones. Supposedly they are the easiest thing ever, but I normally end up with rock cakes. Luckily this recipe called for 6 teaspoons of baking powder, and they ended up pretty fluffy.
They were really quite delicious, especially with the amazing "Lil' Miss Envy's Grandma was a Jammer" homemade jam I bought at Jukebox Jamboree this year, and even more so when I finally got them to the picnic and we whipped some cream to go with them!
The wonderful Edmond's failproof recipe, for those who struggle with scones as much as I usually do -
3 cups standard plain flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
75g butter
1 - 1 1/2 cups milk (+ extra for glazing)
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
Cut in butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add milk, mixing quickly with a knife to form a soft dough. Knead a few times.
Press scone dough onto a baking tray dusted lightly with flour.
Cut into 12 even-sized pieces, place with 2cm between each. Brush tops with milk.
Bake at 220 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes or until golden brown
