Recipe's preparation

    This recipe has been adapted from the Lily's Scones recipe in 'How to be a domestic goddess ' by Nigella Lawson
  1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees celcius (200 degrees fan forced)

  2. Add flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar to TM bowl

  3. Weigh butter into TM bowl. Blitz Closed lid"Closed lid" 10 seconds Speed 9. The mixture should now look like damp sand. Blitz for a few more seconds if needed.

  4. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula. Weigh in Milk into TM bowl. Mix Closed lid"Closed lid"  on Speed 5 until just combined, approx 5-7 seconds

  5. Turn our dough onto a floured surface or thermostat, and knead lightly to form a dough.

  6. Push or rollout to 3cm thicknes. Dip cutter in flour and stamp out at least 10 scones. you will get 12 from this, but you may have to retool for the last 2.

  7. Place on baking tray very close together - the idea is that they bulge and stick together on cooking

  8. Brush the tops with the egg wash

  9. Place tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.

  10. Serve with Jam and cream and enjoy!

    These are truly amazing. I used spelt flour and just a pinch of salt. A milk wash works fine too. Thanks for sharing.

    These scones were really easy to make and tasted great. I have never been very good at scones so I'm glad I now have a reliable and proven recipe on hand - thanks!

    Fantastic recipe, I added some tasty cheese and parmesan and nutmeg then sprinkled some more cheese on top for a savoury spin!
