Ingredients ready to make scones

Heat the oven to 180C.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sift all dry ingredients and place them in the bowl.

Add soft butter, vanilla extract and lemon juice then pour warm milk.

Using a hand combine all ingredients to make a soft dough.1

Do the above steps as quick as possible so the butter doesn’t melt.

If the dough is too sticky add some more flour.

Turn on the floured surface and knead very lightly.

Using a roller make the 2cm thick dough and cut your scones with a round cookie cutter.

Place into the lined baking tray.
