Scones

I started typing "Really fast scones" as the title, but that would have been a bit pointless. After all, Scones *are* really fast. That's kind of "their thing". This is a very basic scones recipe - just the way I like it.

Scones
makes 8

215 g flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
50 g butter or shortening
150 ml milk

Preheat oven to 225°C. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. By hand, rub in the cold fat, until it's nicely distributed. Add the milk, and work to a quick dough. Shape into two fat discs, and place on a lined bakingsheet. Cut the rounds into quarters, but not quite all the way through to the bottom. Bake for 12-15 minutes, and serve with cheese and marmalade.
