Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 250 milliliters whole milk
- 100 grams raisins or currants
- 2 tablespoons extra milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar.
Step 3
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the raisins or currants to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the liquid to the dry mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, just until it comes together.
Step 7
Roll or pat the dough to about 3 cm (1 ¼ inches) thick. Use a round cutter (about 6 cm/2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out scones. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make more scones.
Step 8
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Brush the tops with the extra milk for a golden glaze.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, and clotted cream if desired.
