Method
Preparation
For the Scones
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the salt. Add small flakes of butter and rub together with the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar and milk. Stir in with a spoon and then knead carefully.
- Grease the baking tray and preheat the oven on Top/bottom heating, 210 °C.
- On a lightly flour covered work surface, roll out the pastry to a thickness of approx. 2 cm. Cut out circles 6 cm in diameter and place on the baking tray.
- Whisk the egg yolk and milk together and brush the top of the pastry with the mixture. Bake on for 15-25 minutes.
Notes
The scones stay light and fluffy if you only knead the dough for a short time.
