Ingredients
- 8 cups flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 12 tbsp butter
- 3 eggs
- approximately 1-3/4 cups milk to mix
- 1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt
- sugar
Instructions
- First preheat your oven to 475°F.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients together in a nice roomy bowl. Make a well in the center and rub in the butter. Beat the eggs with the milk, add the liquid all in one go and mix to a soft dough. Turn out on to a floured board. Knead lightly, just enough to shape into a round. Roll out to about 1 inch thick and stamp into scones. Brush the tops with egg wash and dip in sugar. Bake in the hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown on top. Cool on a wire rack.
- Serve the scones split in half with butter and homemade jam or, better still, with homemade raspberry jam and a dollop of whipped cream.
