Easy Scone Recipe
Here at Children’s Hospice South West, our hospice cooks make exceedingly good scones! Many of you will have a favourite, tried and tested recipe but we thought we would share ours just in case! This scone recipe is super-easy, so children can join in too.
Ingredients
- 450g (1lb) self-raising flour (½ white and ½ wholemeal)
- 100g (4oz) margarine
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1½ tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Milk of your choice to mix
- Sultanas (optional)
Method
- Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, adding enough milk to bind into a dough.
- Roll the dough to 1 inch thick. Cut out with a cutter into individual scone shapes and bake at 200C for 7 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Place on a wire rack to cool.
- Cut each scone in half and pile high with lashings of clotted cream and strawberry jam.
- Enjoy!
