These coffee scones are the mouthwatering twist on an afternoon tea classic. They're delicious on their own or with a cuppa. - Tiffany Page

Ingredients

2 cups self raising flour
60g butter
¼ cup raw caster sugar
1/3 cup milk
¼ cup espresso

Glaze

1 cup icing sugar
2 tsp melted butter
1 tbls espresso coffee

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced.
Step 2

Place flour into a bowl, rub in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in sugar. Combine milk and ¼ cup espresso, add to the flour and with a knife, using a cutting motion, mix to form a dough.
Step 3

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead to bring the dough together. Flatten to an inch thick and using a 5cm round cutter, cut out 15 scones.
Step 4

Arrange on a baking tray dusted with flour with 2cm gap between each scone. Bake for 12-15 minutes and transfer to a wire rack.
Step 5

Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl. Pour over hot scones and leave to cool. Serve with soft butter if desired.
