Scones

Method

Preheat oven to 220 degrees.

Place the all-purpose mix into a bowl and rub in the Butter.

Stir in the salt, sugar and baking powder.

Add the water and stir well using a metal spoon for about 30 seconds. The mixture will be very soft but leave it for about 2-3 mins and it will thicken.

Turn the mixture onto a work surface lightly dusted with the all-purpose mix. You do not have to knead the mixture at all.

Dip your hand in a little all-purpose mix and gently pat the scone mixture into a piece about 3-4 cms thick. Do not pat the mixture out too thinly. 

Cut into 6 rough squares or use a biscuit cutter and cut into 6 rounds.

Place onto a greased baking tray and bake for about 12-15 mins until risen and golden brown.
