Easy English Scones image

An easy to make recipe which I found on the internet and adapted (improved!) slightly. (Note: the English don't generally put coconut in their scones, it just adds a little flavour). Serve with thick cream and jam at tea time along with a hot drink. Yum! (See recipe #134673 for alternative).

Time 30m

Yield 18 scones, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (256gm)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (3ml)
1/4 cup margarine (I use 5 tbsp on a butter stick) or 1/4 cup butter (I use 5 tbsp on a butter stick)
3/4 cup sultana raisin (in a pinch regular raisins will do fine)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F or 220°C and grease baking tray with margarine ready.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
  • Cut in the margarine or butter till mixture resembles very fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the raisins and coconut.
  • Add the milk and mix to make a smooth dough. (Adding a little more milk if necessary. The mix should not be too dry).
  • Knead very lightly for ten seconds on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to about 3/4" thick (2 cm) and either cut into individual scones.
  • Bake for approximately 12 minutes (makes about 18 scones).
