Scones

1. Mix the flour with the baking powder and sugar.

2. Rub in the cold butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.

3. Bring the dough together quickly with the milk – do not overwork it.

4. Roll out to a finger's thickness and cut out rounds with a cutter.

5. Brush the tops with beaten egg.

6. Bake at 200°C for 12-15 minutes. Serve with strawberry jam and whipped cream.

Tip: Minimal handling is the secret – that is what makes scones tall and short-textured.
