I've been wanting to make traditional British scones for a while. So, I had a go for Valentine's day. I made these scones:
- 225g/8 oz self-raising flour
- pinch of salt
- 55g/2 oz butter
- 25g/1 oz caster sugar
- 150ml/5 oz milk
Mix flour and salt together. Cut in butter. Stir in sugar and milk. Lightly knead on floured surface. Roll out to ~ 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 220C/425F.
and then cut them with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. We added jam (strawberry and/or raspberry) and some excellent extra thick cream with Madagascan vanilla. SOOO yummy!
