Ingredients

1	x	flour, all-purpose	for dusting
3	cups	flour, self-rising
80	grams	butter	cubed
1	cup	milk
1	x	jam	to serve
1	x	whipped cream	to serve

Directions

Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly dust a flat baking tray with plain flour.

Sift self-raising flour into a large bowl.

Using your fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the centre. Add 1 cup of milk.

Mix with a flat-bladed knife until mixture forms a soft dough, adding more milk if required.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead gently until smooth (don't knead dough too much or scones will be tough).

Pat dough into a 2cm-thick round. Using a 5cm (diameter) round cutter, cut out 12 rounds.

Press dough together and cut out remaining 4 rounds.

Place scones onto prepared baking tray, 1cm apart.

Sprinkle tops with a little plain flour.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and well risen.

Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with jam and cream.

To Complain or Not To Complain

by Mark R. Vogel

Unfortunately the answers to these questions return us to the subjectivity and capriciousness of the individual person's character. When the situation is not a no-brainer because it doesn't lie at one extreme or the other, we must then decide what we are...

I love this recipe. I have used it as the base for pita sandwiches, and with grilled veggies in a panini with two to three types of cheeses. Put a bunch of green leaf lettuce and tomato and cucumber, and mmmmmmm!!!! Five stars
