Eggs, Dairy English Tamara4 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

460 g Self raising flour
1 lg Pinch of salt
80 g Castor sugar
80 g Unsalted butter; chilled
2 Eggs
Up to 150 ml. Milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 220°c. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl then place
this mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Add the sugar and process
to mix the ingredients. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the flour
mixture. Process briefly until the mixture resembles sand.
In a small jug, whisk the eggs and milk together then add to the flour
mixture through the feed-tube while the motor is running. Stop the machine
as soon as the dough comes together - DO NOT OVER MIX. (To make the dough
without a food processor, sift the flour and salt into a bowl then rub the
cubes of butter in with your fingertips. Make a well in the centre and pour
in the egg/milk mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon until combined.
Turn out the dough (regardless of mixing method) and knead very briefly
until the dough is mostly smooth. Roll out the dough to 2-3 cm. thickness
then using a 6cm. cutter (or a small wine glass) cut out as many rounds as
possible, placing the rounds on a lightly greased oven tray. Gather up all
the scraps and knead briefly before cutting more rounds.
Brush the scones with a little milk then bake in the preheated oven for
12-15 minutes until firm and golden. Serve with a jam or your choice and
thick, country cream.
  VARIATIONS:
For savoury scones, follow any of the following additions, adding the
ingredients to the flour/butter mixture before adding liquid.
~ 1 cup grated tasty cheese and 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
~ 1 cup of fresh herbs - I like dill, chives and parsley
~ 6 minced sundried tomatoes and a good sprinkle of grated tasty cheese
