Everyone has their family favourite scone recipe, but my partner Brendan makes the most incredible scones. We whipped up these together for an afternoon treat with a cup of tea. So here you go, I'm sharing his secret scone recipe (not so secret anymore). - taram332

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp white sugar
1 tbs self-raising flour for dusting
1 cup Pauls lactose-free Zymil milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbs butter

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees, line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Step 2

Melt the butter and milk together in the microwave, check carefully as you only want to heat it until the butter is melted.
Step 3

Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl, add salt, sugar and mix through. Make a well in the centre and add the warmed milk and butter and also the vanilla and gently fold together with a fork, do not be rough or mix hard, be gentle. Add the sultanas and fold through gently.
Step 4

Flour your benchtop and gently place the dough onto the bench and bring together, pat down gently to about 1inch thick. Using a cutter cut out the scones to your desired size. Gently lift up each scone and place onto the baking tray, as you place the scones on the tray ensure the scones are just touching as this will ensure they rise high if they are together.
Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. You can smell when they are ready! Serve immediately with your favourite jam and cream.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

For this recipe we used Zymil milk and they turned out exactly the same as using regular full cream milk. You can use regular full cream milk.

You can also use chopped up dates, or if you are not keen on fruit scones just leave out the fruit.

The trick to perfect scones is how gently you handle the dough, the less you work it the lighter and fluffier the scones will be. So give it a go and bake some scones for your family and friends!
