2 ingredient scones


I am very serious when I say that “this recipe works!”  It really does. No more rubbing butter and flour until your fingers are numb.  Use my recipe (be specific with the quantities) & you will get light & fluffy scones every time.

Some of you may have already seen this recipe as I shared it on my other page ‘'Simple home cook'’ a little while back & it went crazy.   It is a recipe that has been passed down generations in my husband’s family & now I am sharing it with you.  Get started now & these soft & fluffy scones will be ready within 25 mins!

Enjoy!

2 INGREDIENT SCONES

- 3 cups self-raising flour, sifted
- 2 cups + 2 Tbspn thickened cream 
- Jam and cream for serving
                                                                                    
1.             Preheat oven to 200°C.  Line an oven tray with baking paper.

2.             In a large bowl, sift flour.  Pour in cream. With a bread & butter knife, quickly mix to a soft sticky dough.


3.             On a floured surface, turn out the mixture & knead gently. Press out dough to approx. 1 ½ cm  thick.

4.              Cut scones & place on tray with scones close together.




5.              Bake in preheated oven for 15 mins.  Remove from oven & cool on wire rack.



6.              Serve with jam & cream.

Note:  If you don’t have a scone cutter, press out dough into a rectangle 1 ½ cm thick & cut out 18 squares with a knife.

Storage:               - Best eaten the same day as baking.
                             - Freeze immediately after cooling on rack.  Thaw prior to eating.
