Soft and fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside, this easy scone recipe can be made everyday. I toss in dried fruit and nuts or cheese and herbs for a savoury version.
Makes 10 scones
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the self-raising flour and salt.
Rub in the cold butter until there are course pebbles or crumbs.
Whisk the egg and buttermilk and pour a little at a time into the course crumbs, gently bringing together into a loose dough.
Knead gently, and try not to over-mix the dough or it will become tough.
Prep a smooth work surface with a light dusting of flour and pat the scone dough to a thickness of about 2 cm, again making sure not to overwork the dough. Cut out scones into the shapes you desire and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush with a little milk and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top.
Serve with butter, cream, preserves or cheese.
