Recipe type: gluten free
Serves: 12
What you'll need
  • 3 cups Free From Gluten Self Raising flour
  • 1 Tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon butter (room temperature)
  • 150mls cream or milk
  • 150mls water
  • thickened cream and jam to serve
Instructions
  1. Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl or place into a mixer and add in butter. Rub in the butter (or process in your mixer).
  2. Mix in the cream/milk and water and gently combine in with a knife. Don't overdo it. You want a nice sticky mixture.
  3. Tip out onto a floured mat or work surface and using your hands (covered in flour) make into a flattened round.
  4. Using a small round cup or glass or cutter you will cut out about 12 or 13 rounds and place next to each other on a baking tray lined with baking paper
  5. Brush with a little milk on the top of the scones.
  6. Bake in a 220C oven for 8-13 minutes until lightly golden on top. Don't leave them in too long as I find they are overdone.
  7. a little tip for soft scones is to have the scones resting against each other while they bake
  8. Serve with some whipped cream and strawberry jam.
