Plain oven scones

Ingredients

Quantity		Ingredient
8	ounces	Flour; self-rising
2	ounces	Butter
1	teaspoon	Caster sugar
½	pint	Buttermilk, full cream milk or sour milk
	pinch	Salt

Directions

Set oven to 450øF or Mark 8. Grease and flour a baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and rub in the butter. Add sufficient of the milk to make a moist and spongy dough. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to ½ inch thickness and cut into rounds with a 2½ inch pastry cutter. Place on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until risen and light golden in colour. Cool on a wire rack. Serve split in half with butter and jam. For rich scones add 1 beaten egg to the dry ingredients before adding sufficient milk. Brush the tops of the scones with beaten egg rather than with milk.
