Ingredients
- 225 g Self-Raising Flour sieved
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder level
- 25 g Caster sugar
- 50 g Butter
- 1 Egg Free Range
- Milk
- 100 g Glace Cherries cut into halves
- 25 g Milk For glazing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C Fan / 225C / Gas 7
- Grab a baking tray and either grease it or use baking paper
- In a mixing bowl sift your self rising flour, baking powder and then add your caster sugar and give it a stir
- Next add your chilled butter and using your finger tips rub the butter into the flour mix, it should resemble breadcrumbs
- Add your halved (or chopped - up to you) grace cherries to the flour mix and give it a stir
- Next in a measuring jug break your egg and make the level up to 150ml with milk ( 150ml should be your total liquid weight including your milk )
- Next add your egg & milk mix and using a knife bring it together to a dough - do not over mix
- Tip your mix out onto a floured surface and pat down to approx 1 inch / 2.5 cm thickness (do not use a rolling pin)
- Using a 2 inch / 5cm cutter punch out 6 scones and pop them spread out on your baking sheet (there are always bits of dough left - pull them together and bake alongside the scone - they are yours :-) )
- Using a pastry brush, brush a little milk onto the tops, do not glaze the sides
- Bake for 12- 14 minutes in your preheated oven until golden
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire tray - enjoy!
