Simple plain scones

We have always love scones since AC days. We love the yummy scones from da paolo and treating ourselves once in a while during our AC days. And then, when we came to the UK, we realised how much fresher and more yummy scones are here. We have always been going for high teas just to taste yummy scones, and buying scones from the different bakeries and finally, we decided to make our own scones. We found the perfect recipe for scones and realise how cheap, easy and fast it was to make!

Ingredients:
230g Self-raising flour
50g Cold butter
120ml Milk
4 Tablespoon sugar

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 220degrees celcius. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl in this order - self-raising flour, sugar, butter and milk. Once mixing all the ingredients together, you should obtain a slightly sticky ball of dough. To makes things simpler, just scoop the mixture into a cupcake/muffin tin, and place into the oven for 10-12 minutes. 

Normally, you would roll out the mixture to make a round shape so that the scone will raise in a nicer way, however, we really like our scones to be irregular shaped as it looks cute! Lastly, you can add other ingredients inside to make 'flavoured' scones, such as a combination of raspberry, blueberry and white chocolate, or the typical sultana scone. Try it yourself! It is really easy and fast :)

We made about 16 mini scones!
