Devon Scones instructions
- Heat oven 200°fan.
- Rebub in the butter/marg into the self-raising flour and baking powder with hands to make fine breadcrumbs.
- Beat eggs and buttermilk together. I use a jug or something with a lip to allow you to pour the mixture..
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture a little at a time and mix as you do. Don't scrap the egg mixture out, leave a little for later brushing the scones before they are cooked..
- The mixture will be quite sticky. Being sticky helps them rise better so try not to add to much flour to handle the mixture. Add a tiny amount of flour to a board to roll out the dough to about 3/4"thickness. I use a 2 1/5" cutter. Cut as many as possible then collect the bits left,draw together and roll out, cut more and repeat until ⁰no dough left. I get about 13. Place on a lined baking sheet..
- Brush top only of each scone with the remains of the milk and egg mixture. Try not to let it go down the sides as this will stop the rising..
- Bake in oven on middle shelf for 10-15mins..
