SUNDAY'S BREAKFAST

Scones on a Sunday morning :)
I know they are meant for tea...
Here is my recipe.
For 12 scones you'll need:

• 2 cups of flour
• 50g of salted butter
• 1 cup of buttermilk
• 1 and a half teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
  

Preheat the oven at 200C. Sift the flour, the baking powder and the bicarbonate of soda. Cut the butter in little cubes and add it to the flour. Rub in lightly using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk. Use a spatula to mix to a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Handle the mixture with a very light hand. If you knead the dough too much your scones will turn out very tough. With a rolling pin (or even by hand) press the dough out to a thickness of approx. 2cm. Then with a sharp cutter cut out your scones. I use a heart-shaped one :)

Place on an oven tray and bake for 10/12 minutes. I don't usally grease my tray and they never stick. Cool them for 10min. and serve them with strawberry jam and clotted cream.

Success guaranteed!
