Makes 8

Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 Tbsp icing sugar
½ cup cream
½ cup milk
extra milk, for glaze

Method
1. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and icing sugar into a medium size bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix to a soft dough with a fork.
2. Turn onto a floured bench and knead lightly 5-6 times. Pat out to 2cm thick.
3. Using a cutter cut into 6cm rounds. Arrange close together on a greased oven tray.
4. Rest 10 minutes.
5. Brush the top of the scones with milk then bake at 190ºC for 15 - 20 minutes.
6. Wrap in a tea towel to cool.

Serve warm with butter or with jam and cream - Devonshire Tea style.

Tip: The old fashioned way to cool scones was to put them on a clean tea towel covered wire rack. The edges of the tea towel were then flipped over the scones. It’s still a good way to prevent them from drying out.
