Serves: 12ish
What you'll need
  • 70g raw sugar (or icing sugar)
  • 450g plain flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 60g butter cold, cubed
  • 310mls buttermilk
Instructions
  1. Place raw sugar in the thermomix and process 20 seconds on speed 9 to get icing sugar.
  2. Add in flour, baking powder, salt and butter and process 50 seconds, speed 4 until butter has been distributed throughout
  3. Add in buttermilk (you could use milk or cream) and process 20 seconds speed 3 until just mixed through. If your mixture is too soft you can add more flour on your work surface but you want a nice sticky-ish mixture for nice soft scones
  4. **Tip out the mixture onto a floured surface. I just use some baking paper with flour sprinkled over the top to keep my mess to a minimum and flatten out with your hands to make a circle. My dough was over an inch thick
  5. Using a glass or scone cutter (or cookie cutter) cut the dough into circles and place on a lined baking tray
  6. Press together gently if you want softer scones or spread out on the tray if you don't
  7. Brush the top of your scones with a little milk
  8. Bake in a 200 degrees oven for about 12-16 minutes until lightly golden on top
  9. Serve warm with the works (aka jam and whipped cream). I whip my cream while the scones are baking and if kids are around spoon out the jam into a bowl otherwise you get cream through your jam jar. Trust me on that one.
  10. If you don't have a thermomix then sift your dry ingredients and rub in the butter with your finger tips until you have a mixture like breadscrumbs. Make a well in the centre and pour in your buttermilk (or milk or cream) and gently mix without overworking your dough. Follow from **
