I’ve got lots of lovely recipe books but more often than not I use my old handwritten recipes notebook which has all my school recipes and ones which I’ve collected over the last 30 years or so.  This scone recipe is one from my school days and it’s super easy and ideal to make for any unexpected visitors!  After all, a pot of tea and warm scones out of the oven with butter and jam is hard to beat!

Recipe

300g self raising flour

45g butter

3 tablesp granulated sugar

1 egg

Milk

Bake at 210 degrees for 8-10 mins

Sieve flour into bowl and add cubes of butter, rub together until resembles fine breadcrumbs and then mix in sugar
