These are fabulous for breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea, a midnight snack…. Pretty much all the time!! They are quite filling so one is enough per person if you are catering with other dishes. Opt out of the raw sugar if you like, or the wholemeal flour can be replaced with white if you’d prefer, however you’d like to make them, just get into it!!
Ingredients
60 g butter
3 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
2 tbs brown sugar
1 ½ cups milk
2 tbs milk for brushing
2 tbs raw sugar for sprinkling
Method
Rub the butter, cold, into the flour until it looks like crumbs. Add the sugar and milk, stirring with a flat knife. Once combined, knead a little, add a little more flour if you think it needs it, and then work into a ball. Flatten out to about 4cm tall and then either use a scone cutter to press out your scones, or use your hands and freehand it. Place the scones in a baking tin close to each other so they are all touching. Brush with a little milk and sprinkle the raw sugar on top. Bake in a hot oven around 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes or until brown. Enjoy your beautiful scones!
