Enjoy your afternoon tea with scones...

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE! I for one am SO glad its Saturday...had a lie in, hit the gym, watched The Devil Wears Prada - one of the most fabulous films in my collection, I love Meryl Streep, New York and God I wish I was as stylish as the modele-esque (is that how you spell it?) girls that work in the magazine! Then my little sister and I got stuck into baking scones as my New Years resolution of being able to cook and bake continues...

I hope the photo shows that they were a success, and I have to say I'm quite proud of myself because they were scrumptious... I ate one while still a little warm and spread some lurpak across the middle. If you would like to have a bash heres what you need and how you do it!

Ingredients:
8oz self-raising flour
1 egg (beaten before added)
a little milk
a pinch of salt
1oz caster sugar
2oz margarine.

Recipe:
  • Heat the oven to Gas Mark 7/ 220C and grease an oven tray or place in grease-proof paper.
  • Mix together the flour, salt, and caster sugar.
  • Rub in Margarine.
  • Add egg mixture and milk reserving a little for brushing the tops.
  • Knead lightly on a floured surface and roll out to 1 cm (½ inch) in thickness and cut into 6.5 cm. (2½ inch) rounds.
  • Re-roll the trimmings and cut more rounds.
  • Brush the tops with egg and milk and bake for about 10 minutes.
I hope you enjoy your scones and thanks for reading!

  1. Mmm They look like they'd go perfectly with some jam and a little cream! I made the resolution to bake more too as so far I only ever do it out of a packet xxx
