These scones are fantastic, and they're so easy to make. I've made them twice in the last twenty four hours, and got rave reviews each time. I added vanilla and two teaspoons cinnamon, because cinnamon rocks, and some walnuts. You can have Scones using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Scones instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 230 C..
2. Mix all dry ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, salt, and baking powder (if using)). Chop the butter into small cubes, and rub in with your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs..
3. Pour the milk into a mixing jar, and crack the egg in. Mix with a whisk until it's a smooth consistency..
4. Pour most of the wet mixture in to the dry mixture (retaining some for glazing), and mix with a fork or spoon until it comes together. Most of the mixing can be done without your hands, so this recipe is relatively clean!.
5. Flour a dry surface lightly, and knead the dough lightly and for a short time just to bring together. This is where you'd add in the dry fruit (if using). I don't have any scone cutters, so I form the scone shape by hand. Divide the dough into four roughly equal quarters, and roll each in your hand until they form into a small sphere..
6. Place the small spheres onto baking paper, and squash down with the palm of your hand a little bit. Using the left over milk/egg mixture, glaze the top of the top of these..
7. When the oven is hot enough, cook for about 12/13 mins, or until the colour of the scones looks right. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins, cut in half, liberally apply your favourite toppings, and enjoy with a cup of tea!.
