Total time: 35 min • Prep: 20 min • Cook: 15 min • Serves: 15 • Difficulty: Easy

One of the easiest recipes to have in your baking repertoire is the classic scone. These use buttermilk, making them extra moist. Tea is served!

Ingredients

Wholemeal Flour

160 g

White Self Raising Flour

150 g, plus ½ tsp for dusting

Caster Sugar

1½ tablespoon(s)

Low Fat Spread

30 g, straight from the fridge

Buttermilk

250 ml

Skimmed Milk

1 tablespoon(s)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas mark 7. Dust a baking tray with flour. Sift both flours into a bowl. Add the wholemeal husks.

2

Stir in the sugar. Using your fingertips, rub in the low-fat spread until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

3

Using a table knife, gently mix the buttermilk into the dry ingredients until the mixture is just combined. The dough should be soft and sticky.

4

Tip onto a lightly floured or dusted surface and knead for 30 seconds or until just smooth. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 2cm thickness.

5

Use a 5.5cm round cutter to cut out 15 scones. Dip the scone cutter into flour before cutting out each scone to prevent the dough sticking to the cutter.

6

Pop the scones on a baking tray. Brush lightly with the skimmed milk. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden; they should sound hollow when tapped. Serve warm.
