Hot cross scones
These scones are a simple twist on an Easter favourite.
Ingredients
3 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon McKenzie’s Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons McKenzie’s Mixed Spice
1/2 teaspoon McKenzie’s Ground Nutmeg
80 grams butter, cubed
1/2 cup sultanas
1 1/4 cups milk
Method
- Preheat oven to 220C and lightly dust a flat baking tray with a little flour.
- Sift flour into a large bowl, add cinnamon, mixed spice and nutmeg and use your fingertips to rub in the butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add sultanas and milk. Mix until mixture forms a soft dough.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently (not too much or scones will be tough).
- Flatten dough to 2cm thick. Cut into square and place on baking tray 1cm apart.
- Brush with a little milk and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden in colour.
