Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Lightly dust a large baking tray with plain flour.
  2. Step 2

    Sift self-rising flour, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl to blend.
  3. Step 3

    Add the milk and cream. Using a butter knife, gently stir liquids into flour mixture just until a dough begins to form. Do not overwork or overmix the dough.
  4. Step 4

    Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and very gently knead to gather dough together. Lightly flour rolling pin and roll out dough to about a 2- to 3-cm-thick disc.
  5. Step 5

    Using a 6cm-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out scones, flouring the cutter between each cut. Transfer scones to the prepared baking tray, arranging them about 2.5 cm apart.
  6. Step 6

    Bake scones for 10 to 15 mins, or until pale golden. Transfer scones to a clean tea towel and loosely wrap them up to keep them warm.
  7. Step 7

    Serve scones warm with butter, jam, lemon butter and clotted cream.
