ENGLISH SCONES

Normally I can't bake to save my life. My forays into bread making failed spectacularly! However, this time it was an unprecedented success! So if I can do this, so can you! And it tasted pretty good too! Got this recipe off the internet. There are many scones recipes out there, but this is the easiest I've found so far.

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1  teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
120g unsalted butter
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 large egg

Method

In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda.
Using a box grater. grate the hard butter into the flour mixture and use your fingers to mix it until it becomes crumbly, like in the picture above.
When that's done, add the raisins and mix well

In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the egg and yogurt into a smooth consistency.
Now slowly add the egg mixture into the flour and mix it till it forms a dough that looks like the picture above

On a flat clean surface, dust some flour on it and roll the dough until it looks like a french loaf.
Using a knife, cut pieces of about 1 inch thick off the dough and place it on a nonstick or greased pan

Sprinkle some sugar on the top and pop it into a pre-heated oven at 200 degree celsius and let it bake for between 15 and 20 minutes.
When that's done, leave it to cool for about 15 minutes before serving with your favourite jam, cream or butter.

The ones I made looked a little too big compared to the ones at the shop, but I don't really care, because like me, there's more to love! 
So take out your favourite china, make a nice cuppa of tea and enjoy your scones!
