yummy scones

8oz / 225g self raising flour
pinch of salt
3oz / 75g butter (room temp)
1.5 oz / 40g caster sugar
1 large egg
some milk

Preheat oven to 220°c

Seive the flour and salt, rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs and add the sugar.

Lightly beat the egg with 2 tblsp milk, and gently add to the flour mixture until it is a soft dough (add a little more milk if necessary)

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board to 1" thick. Cut out 2" rounds and place on a lightly greased baking sheet

Cook until risen and golden brown. Serve warm with homemade jam and cream . Just like this...
