Mrs Press's Yorkshire Scones

• Serves 6

• Preparation time:

• Cooking time:

Ingredients

250g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1 cup milk
Milk or egg yolk for glazing

Method

Pre-heat oven to 220C and grease scone tray.
Sift flour and salt together.
Cut butter into flour, and rub in lightly using your fingers. Turn onto a floured surface and knead slightly. Remember, the less you handle the dough, the lighter your scones will be.
Flatten out the dough with the heel of your hand to approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Stamp out with a scone cutter- or a glass dipped in flour works just as well. Place scones touching each other on a tray, glaze tops and bake 8-10 minutes.
