Recipe from RecipeTin Eats really makes this easy because it's all done in a food processor and has very three (or four if you don't have self-raising flour) ingredients. Not messy rolling, kneading and cutting too, in fact, the less handling the better!
Ingredients (makes 17*5-cm or 2-inch scones)
3 cups self-raising flour (or 3 cups plain flour remove 6 tsp flour and replace with 6 tsp baking powder)
¼ tsp salt
80g cold butter, cubed
1 C fridge cold milk
Method
1. Into a food processor, add the flour, butter and salt. Pultz for 6-8 seconds.
2. Distribute the milk all over the mixture and pultz for 8 seconds until it just comes together.
3. Empty out onto a lightly floured surface. Using no more than 10 strokes, knead to combine all the dry flour.
4. Gently pat and flatten into a disc, about 2cm thick. If using a rolling pin, just 1 or 2 rolls to flatten.
5. Dust a 5-cm cutter in flour and stamp out the scone rounds. Use a swift cut down action, do not twist!
6. Place on a parchment covered baking tray and leave a gap between scones. Glaze with milk.
7. Bake at 200 deg C for 10 to 12 minutes until top is golden brown.
8. Serve when slightly cooled with jam or butter or clotted cream or whatever you prefer.
