Strawberry & Orange SconesPreheat the oven to 200°C, 400ºF, gas mark 6. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl then rub in the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, orange zest, strawberries and sultanas and mix well. Gently stir in the milk with a rounded knife until the mixture is soft dough and comes together in a ball. Gently knead on a lightly floured surface to remove any cracks. Roll out to 2cm (¾") thickness, then using a 6cm (2½") pastry cutter, cut into rounds. Place on a baking tray, spacing them a little apart, brush the tops with milk and cook for 10-12 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack. Delicious served warm or cold, spread with Country Life butter, Country life Spreadable or Lighter Spreadable. Cook’s tip- handle the dough as little as possible or it will become tough. Dip the cutter in a little flour to stop the dough sticking. Any remaining scones can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or frozen for up to a month - just reheat in the oven. |
