Andrew did some great scones the other day with no additional bicarbonate. He said it was a recipe he picked up at the BBC.

So here is a quick back to basics scone recipe.

675g Self Raising Flour

165 g of butter

75 of caster flour

450ml Milk

Get your oven up to 220.c

Rub butter & flour together

Add a pinch of salt

Add the sugar and stir Gradually add the milk while stirring, stop at the right consistency. Knead lightly on a floured surface. Roll out fairly chunky, it depends on your personal preference . Cut out onto baking paper on a baking tray. Brush the tops with milk.

Bake for 15min circa

If you like add some Sultanas or you can add cheese to make it savoury
