Scones – to have with tea, under a willow tree
2 cups (500ml) flour
2 tsp (10ml) baking powder
1 egg
1/4 cup (65ml) oil
½ cup (125ml) milk
Lightly beat together the egg, oil and milk and pour into the flour and baking powder which have been sifted together. Gently knead together and flatten out on a floured board to about ½” thick. Cut into circles and lay on a baking tray, quite close together. Bake at 400°F (200ºC) for about 10 mins. Split in half and serve with jam and whipped cream.
Note: Lately I have been adding 1 tsp of baking soda and using whey or plain yoghurt in place of milk
