PERFECTLY BAKED SCONES

 
 
 
Uncle Ben's Scones
 
 
What you need
 
 
500ml (240g) self-raising flour
5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
10ml (2 tsps.) sugar
2.5ml (1/2 tsp) salt
60ml (4 tbs) margarine or butter
1 large egg
180ml (3/4 cup) buttermilk
 
What you do
 
1. Sift dry ingredients together and rub in margarine.
2. Beat eggs and milk, pour into dry ingredients.
3. Use a flat bladed knife mix into a stiff dough, add more milk if mixture is too stiff.
4. Turn out onto floured surface and lightly form into flatten dough about 20mm thick.
5. Cut into rounds you can use a glass.
6. Brush with milk and bake in a preheat at 190 degrees Celsius for approximately 12 minutes.
 
Note:  I have made this recipe many times using plain milk instead of buttermilk and works just as well.
