Ingredients:
Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed, Palm).
Raising Agents: Sodium Bicarbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate.
Humectant: Glycerine.
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 220°C (190°C for fan assisted oven) / 425°F / Gas Mark 7.
Grease a baking tray lightly with butter and set aside.
2. Empty scone mix into bowl. Mix 1 egg and 70ml (4½ tablespoons) of milk together. Reserve 2
teaspoons for glazing (see Step 4). Pour the balance into scone mixture and stir with wooden spoon until a smooth dough is formed.
3. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface to approximately 2cm (¾") thickness. Cut into 6 scones using a 6cm (2½") cutter or use the base of a drinking glass as a template to cut round. Place onto greased baking tray.
4. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining egg/milk mixture to glaze. Leave to rise for 10 minutes at room temperature. Bake in the centre of the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
