Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C fan. Tip the self-raising flour into a large bowl with ¼ tsp salt and the baking powder, then mix.

Step 2

Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.

Step 3

Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla extract. Set aside

Step 4

Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a large spoon.

Step 5

Make sure the mixture is a firm yet wet dough. Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out.

Step 6

Pat flour on the front and roll out to a thickness of 1.5”.

Step 7

Using a 2.5” scone cutter push through the mixture and tap the dough so it drops out.

Step 8

Grease a baking tray and line with baking paper.

Step 9

Space out the scones on the baking tray leaving 1.5” between them. Brush the tops with milk.

Step 10

Bake for 15mins. When cooked take out the oven and place on a cooling tray with a clean tea towel over them.
