My Mum’s Scones

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 ½ tsp sugar
1 tbs butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 cups flour self raising
½ tsp salt

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line an oven tray with baking paper.

METHOD
1. Beat the egg and sugar together with a whisk or electric mixer, then add the melted butter and milk.
2. Sift the flour and salt together then gradually add it to the liquid mixture, stirring with a knife until just combined. Be sure not to over mix the dough!
3. Place the dough onto a floured board, sprinkle lightly with flour over the top and cut with a knife into even pieces (or with a floured scone cutter).
4. Place the pieces onto a lined tray and cook until golden light and fluffy (about 20 minutes).
5. Serve with your favourite jam and fresh whipped cream.

REHEATING, STORAGE & LEFTOVERS
Scones are best eaten hot out of the oven, but if there are leftovers, store the scones in an airtight container and gently reheat the next day.

VARIATIONS & TIPS
* For a variation, try adding a few sultanas or chopped fresh dates to the flour before combining with the liquid mixture.
* For homemade jam recipes, check out The Food Werewolf Basics Recipes page.

NOTE
Always look for organic ingredients to be sure you are avoiding additives or check the label carefully to confirm there are no nasties in your ingredients.
