Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
• 120 milliliters Milk (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Optional: Raisins or currants

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

If using, stir in the raisins or currants.

Step 5

In a small bowl or cup, combine the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients using a fork or spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Do not over-knead, as this will make the scones tough.

Step 8

Pat the dough into a circle or square about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. Use a round cutter (or a knife for squares) to cut out scones. Re-roll the scraps only once to avoid overworking the dough.

Step 9

Place the scones on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops lightly with milk for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and risen.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with jam and clotted cream, if desired.
