Cinnamon Scones
Ingredients
- 8 ounces self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 ounce margarine
- 2 ounces caster sugar or soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 8th cup milk
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- (few chopped dates, apricots, sultanas - anything that comes to hand)
Instructions
Rub fat into flour, stir in sugar, cinnamon and fruit (if any). Add a squeeze of lemon juice to milk to sour it (makes scones rise better) and stir in to make dough. Place dough on floured board and flatten to about 1/2 inch with hand. Cut into rounds with scone cutter. Bake at gas mark 7 for 15 mins. Just as delicious if allowed to get a few days old, toasted and coated thickly with butter.
