Crumbly Scones

5.0(12)

I find that some scone recipes can be too complicated. These ones are easy and so delicious just out of the oven with some raspberry jam and cream, or simply with salted butter. Mmmm... (P.S. I'm Australian, so the measurements might be different)

Instructions (10 steps)

01Sift the dry ingredients together.
02Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Rub with the fingertips lightly. The mixture should resemble course crumbs. You can do this step in a food processor, but put the mixture into a bowl before adding the liquid.
03Add your liquid and mix lightly and gently with a butterknife or the fingertips. Don't over mix, this can create heavy scones.
04Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press out gently into an oblong shape, about 20mm thick.
05Cut into squares or use a scone cutter.
