Quick & easy Scones

I recently went for a high tea at "The Tea Room at Crabtree & Evelyn" in Design Quarter in Fourways. My friends and I had the most delicious scones, jam and clotted cream. It was oh so heavenly! This inspired me to make some of my own scones at home; I was going through some of the old recipes that my mom had handed down to me and came across this one…the ingredients seemed simple enough and I had about 30 minutes to kill.

What you will need is the following:

·         2  cups of cake flour (sifted)

·         4 tsp of baking powder

·         pinch of salt

·         2 tbps sugar

·         80 ml of oil

·         1egg

·         125 ml of milk

Method;

1.      Mix the dry ingredients together

2.      in a separate bowl; mix the egg, milk and oil.

3.      add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well

·         Make 12 balls out the mixture and place them into the 12 muffin tray, pat them lightly to make them flat.

·         Place the muffin tray in a pre-heated oven at 180̊ c for 10-15 minutes.

·         Makes 12 scones.
