You will need To make about a dozen large scones

12oz (340g) self-raising flour
2 pinches of salt
4 1/2oz (120g) butter
2 1/4oz (60g) caster sugar
2 small eggs or one very large one
3 tablespoons of milk or thin cream
What to do Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl.

Add the butter (in small lumps at rooms temperature) to the bowl and rub ingredients together until the mix looks like breadcrumbs.

Add all the sugar.

Beat the milk/cream and the egg(s) together and add to the mixing bowl.

Mix well (with your hands, not an electric blender) until you have a soft, but not sticky, dough.

Form the dough into a ball, remove from the bowl and roll out on a slab to about one and a half inches (3cm) thick.

Cut into circles and place on a greased baking tray. Keep bringing the cut offs together and re-forming the round until all the mix has been shaped and placed on the tray.

Optional: brush the tops with milk to give a glazed finish

Bake in a hot oven at gas mark 7, 425 F (220 C) for about 10 minutes, or until the scones are a golden brown colour and look well risen.

Remove and place on a wire tray to cool.

Best eaten when still warm. Cut your scone in half and fill it with strawberry jam and cream.
This is traditional food in United Kingdom
