Sundays are for baking 💜 Scone Recipe.

On the weekends one of my favourite things to do is some baking. Cooking is a great way to stop being in your head and being in the momemnt.

INGREDIENTS

Plain flour, for dusting
3 cups self-raising flour
80g butter, chilled and cubed
1-1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Jam, to serve
Whipped cream, to serve

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Place self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl.

Add butter, and rub together with the flour using your finger tips.

The mixture will resemble breadcrumbs.

Make a hole in the middle of the bowl and pour in 1 cup of milk.

Mix together until the mixture forms a soft dough, adding more milk if needed.

Once combined place on a pre floured surface and knead gently.
(Don't over knead dough as scones will become tough)

Lightly dust a flat baking tray with plain flour.

Pat dough into a 2cm-thick round.
Using a 5cm round cutter, cut and transfer onto prepared tray 1cm apart.

(Press the left over dough together and repeat cutting steps)

Sprinkle tops with a little plain flour.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.

Transfer to a wire rack.

Serve warm with jam and cream.
& ENJOY 💜
