Ingredients

230 g	flour
90 g	butter
1 medium	egg, beaten
1 pinch(es)	salt
	milk

Instructions

Use your favourite scone recipe minus sugar and/or fruit or simply use the ingredients given above.

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Combine flour, salt and butter in a bowl and mix until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir in the beaten egg and enough milk to make produce a smooth dough.

Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2cm cut into rounds. Make a fairly thick scone as they will have to be cut in half, otherwise your halves will turn to ship’s biscuits.

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven, let them cool a little and then, with a very sharp knife, slice laterally in half.

Reduce the temperature to 180°C and place back on the baking sheet, cut side upwards, and cook for a further 10-15 minutes. They should be crisp outside and fluffy inside.

Cool on a wire rack.

Delicious with butter or jam while still warm or add your own fancy spreads.
