BASIC BUTTERMILK SCONES 2 cups self-raising flour 1 tablespoon caster sugar Pinch of salt 60g butter, chilled, chopped
3/4 cup buttermilk Extra buttermilk, for brushing Raspberry jam and whipped cream, to serve
Method Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Position oven rack in the top half of oven. Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in centre of mixture. Add buttermilk. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until a sticky dough forms.

Press leftover dough together. Repeat to make 12 scones. Place scones, just touching, on prepared tray. Brush with buttermilk. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped on top. Serve with jam and cream.
