| 1. Sift the dry ingredients together. | 2. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Rub with the fingertips lightly. The mixture should resemble course crumbs. You can do this step in a food processor, but put the mixture into a bowl before adding the liquid. | 3. Add your liquid and mix lightly and gently with a butterknife or the fingertips. Don't over mix, this can create heavy scones. | 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press out gently into an oblong shape, about 20mm thick. | 5. Cut into squares or use a scone cutter. | 6. Pop them onto a baking tray. Brush the tops with a bit of milk and bake at 240C (475F) until done, about 10 minutes. | 7. VARIATIONS. | 8. Use 1/2 cup sour cream instead of the butter and the milk or milk and egg. | 9. Cheese scones: Add 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar and omit the sugar. | 10. Fruit scones: Add 1/2 cup raisins to the dough. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
