Lemon And Cranberry Scones
- 5 Tablespoons Milk, Plus More As Needed, And Extra To Glaze
- 2 Eggs
- 7 ounces, weight Dried Cranberries
- 3/4 pounds, 3-7/8 ounces, weight Self-raising Flour, Plus Extra To Dust
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 4-1/4 ounces, weight Butter Or Margarine
- Preheat the oven to 200u0b0C (390u0b0F) and line a baking tray.
- In a jug, place the milk and eggs, then beat them together briefly. Add in the cranberries and leave to one side.
- Place the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and butter in a large bowl. Rub the mixture together until it looks like breadcrumbs. You can use your fingers, or the beater attachment of your mixer.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and, using dough hooks, mix together until a soft dough forms. Add extra milk a splash at a time if required. Flour the work surface and turn the dough out. Roll it until it's just under an inch thick, or a bit thicker depending on how big you want your scones; they do rise quite a bit.
- Using a 7cm cookie cutter, cut out your scones and place on the baking tray. I managed to get 14.
- Using a pastry brush, glaze the scones with milk. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and risen. For my oven, it's always 12 minutes, but it differs between ovens. Take out of the oven and leave to cool completely.
- Will keep in an airtight container for 5 days.
