LIGHT 'N' FLUFFY SCONES
These can have many variations -- you can make them with raisins to go with your tea or with sundried tomatoes and feta for a mediterranean feel that goes nicely with soup. I often make them to use up milk that's on the verge of going bad. If you don't have self-raising flour, use all-purpose and add an extra tablespoon of baking powder.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 C, 220 C in a fan oven or gas mark 7.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Rub in the butter and oil until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add the raisins or the mediterranean filling.
- Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
- Mix with knife, using a cutting movement, until it becomes soft.
- The dough will be very sticky.
- Flour your counter well along with your hands and scrape the dough onto the floured surface.
- Knead very lightly to help work some of the flour into the dough, while shaping it into a round about 3cm thick.
- The"kneading" shouldn't take more than a minute and the dough will still be sticky when you cut it.
- Cut into 8 wedges and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until risen, golden and springy to the touch.
- Cool and then cover with a tea towel or put in a tupperware container to keep them soft for 2-3 days.
- These are delicious served warm with butter.
FLUFFY SCONES
These are the fluffiest scones Ive ever made. They are so light and rise a lot, too. The key to getting them that way is to handle the dough as little as possible. You can also turn them into fruit scones by adding a desired amount of dried cherries, cranberries or raisins.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a big bowl. Using your finger tips work in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center.
- Whisk together milk and water and pour into the well reserving some liquid for glazing the scones.
- Quickly stir until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface pat down gently and cut out scones (I use a glass of 7.5 cm in diameter). The dough will be kinda sticky, but you should be able to form it without problems. If not, add some more flour.
- Glaze scones with reserved water-milk-mixture and bake for 10-12 minutes.

- Roll out pieces of the dough onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper, you'll get about 8-12 scones.
- Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes or until the tops are firm.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates steam when it melts in the oven, which helps the scones rise and become fluffy.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the butter to solidify and makes the scones easier to handle. This also helps to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use buttermilk or yogurt: Buttermilk or yogurt adds moisture and tenderness to the scones. If you don't have buttermilk or yogurt, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven helps the scones to rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't overbake the scones: Overbaking the scones will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the scones just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect scones every time.
