Raspberry Scones

Here is a post on making raspberry scones as i came across some frozen raspberries i'd grown but hadn't used yet. I took a basic scone recipe and just added some raspberry's to it to give it more flavour plus i love fruity scones. This recipe makes 8-10 scones depending on the size of the biscuit cutter that you use.

recipe:

self raising flour - 225grams

sugar - 25grams

salt - 1/2 tsp

butter - 50grams

milk - 150ml

raspberries - 1 handful

Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl then add the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 

I then added 1 handful of raspberries but you can add in fewer or more.

Slowly add the milk and mix it to a soft but not sticky dough with a knife.

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead it for 30 seconds then pat it down so it's around 1cm thick.

Cut with a biscuit cutter and transfer them onto a tray with a grease proof baking sheet on.

Bake at 230 degrees for 10 minutes (you may find it needs a couple more minutes)
