Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC bake / 200ºC fan bake. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sift flour into bowl. Make a well in the centre and add sugar, soda water and cream or buttermilk. Mix with a metal spoon until mixture begins to hold together. Do not over mix. The dough should be soft and a little sticky.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds. Pat out with hands to about 2cm thickness. Use a 5cm (approx.) round cutter to cut out scones.

Place scones close together on prepared tray (placing them close together helps to make the sides nice and soft). Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. They should sound hollow when tapped.

Leave to cool a little before serving, then enjoy with butter, jam and cream or ricotta, if desired.

Additional tips
  • Scones are best eaten fresh on the day they’re made.
  • Leftovers freeze well - seal in an airtight bag, then defrost and reheat in oven to warm through before serving.
