MUMMY'S SWEET WHITE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, superfine sugar, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add butter. Using your fingers, work butter into flour mixture until a crumbly mixture is formed.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and milk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead lightly and shape into a round. Roll dough out until it is 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out scones and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
• In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and brush the top of each scone; sprinkle each with granulated sugar. Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.

MUM'S SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200℃/Fan 180℃/Gas Mark 6. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
• Make a well in the centre of the mixture and stir in enough milk to make a fairly dry dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead to remove any cracks, then gently roll or pat out to to about 2.5cm/1in thick.
• Stamp out 5cm/2in rounds using a fluted pasty cutter dipped in flour. Gather the trimmings into a ball, re-roll and cut into more rounds. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated over for 10-12 minutes until well risen and pale golden. Transfer to rack and leave to cool. Serve with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
