Simple Scones

I love the ease of Bill Granger's recipes, this one is from 'Bill's Food', I have made it a few times and it always works out.

Simple Scones

Makes 8

1 tbsp icing sugar
310g plain flour

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

pinch of salt

250ml milk

30g butter melted

Jam and whipped cream to serve

Preheat oven to 220C. Sift the icing sugar, flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the milk and butter and stir to combine with a knife. Knead quickly and lightly until smooth and then press out onto a floured surface.

Use a glass to cut out rounds of roughly 5cm in diameter and 3cm deep and place them close together on a greased baking tray. Gather the scraps together, lightly knead again, then cut out more rounds. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve with jam and lightly whipped cream.
