Food: 4321 Scones

A few Sundays ago, I decided to make scones for afternoon tea. Because I am just that kind of gal… I decided that I would Instagram each step. Because I am that kind of gal.

Here is the process of making scones using the

4-3-2-1- Method of Scone Makingness….

The 4321 refers to the ingredients

4 – cups of Self Raising Flour

3 – 300mls of milk

2 – 200mls of cream

1 – 1 pinch of salt

1) Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celcius

2) Sift  4 cups of flour into a large bowl

3) Add 300mls of milk

4) Add 200 mls of milk

5) Add a pinch of salt

6) Mix with a knife

7) Turn onto a floured board and kneed gently, this is a very soft dough, so don’t do too much to it. If it is too dry, add some more milk.

8) Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper

9) Cut the scone dough into squares. Round scones are SOOOO yesterday {and they require you to roll and re-roll all that dough – who has the time for THAT!}

10) Place the scones on a tray, crowd them in, they like it. When they are close together they will rise UP rather than spread out. Infact, these were a little far apart to be honest!

11) Brush the scones with milk. Do this, it makes them nice and brown and glossy. I use my fingers, I hate washing up pastry brushes!

12) Pop them into your preheated oven for about 15-20 mins… Until nice and brown on top – you will be able to smell when they are ready!

Enjoy your delicious hot scones with butter and jam and lots of cups of tea… YUM!!
