Ingredients

  • 225 g self-raising flour*
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 20 g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoon wheat bran
  • 25 g butter cut into small cubes
  • 75 ml skimmed milk

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200C fan.
  • Sieve the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into mixing bowl.
  • Add the wheat bran.
  • Add the butter cubes to the mixing bowl and using your fingertips rub the butter into the flour mixture to form a breadcrumb mixture.
  • Gradually add the milk, mixing into the flour mixture to form a light elastic dough.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick and then using a round 2"-3"/5cm - 7.5cm pastry cutter, cut out the scones one by one.
  • Place the scones on a lightly greased baking tray and brush the tops lightly with milk,
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. Check they are cooked before removing by inserting a skewer / toothpick into the middle of a scone, which should come out clean if they are ready.

Notes

*If you don't have self-raising flour mix together 225g plain flour and 1 tbsp. baking powder as a substitute.
To make gluten free scones, substitute the plain flour here for gluten free flour.
