Julie (and three of her lovely friends) baked and sold over 250 cream teas using her scrumptious rustic scone recipe. All to raise money to help people affected by breast cancer.
(Makes 12-15 scones)
450g strong white flour
5 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
75g butter
75g caster sugar
250ml milk
Julie’s top tip: if you want to make sweet or savoury scones, that’s no problem! You’ll just need 75g of a filling of your choice, like fruit or cheese.
- Sieve your strong white flour and baking powder into a bowl, then rub in your butter and add your sugar. If you want to make sweet or savoury scones, add your cheese or fruit to the mix.
- Beat two large eggs with your milk in a jug. Once mixed, add them to your bowl in one go and stir in.
- Take the mixture out of the bowl and put on a floured surface. Your mixture will be quite sticky so you can use a little flour to help as you gently knead it until smooth.
- Use a floured cutter to cut out scone shapes. Glaze the tops with one beaten egg and let them stand for around ten minutes.
- Bake the scrumptious scones for 15 minutes at 200˚C.
