Janet’s Saturday Jam Scones.

Reader Janet writes:

Every Saturday we would bake up for Sunday and the week, we weren’t allowed bake on a Sunday, I have been making these since I was a wee wan and never really measure anymore, but Mother says these are right…

You’ll need:

Ilb of self raising flour,
4oz marg or butter ( depends who’s coming for tea)
3oz sugar
1 well beaten egg
Either milk or butter milk if you have it (roughly half pint)

How to:

Rub butter into flour until like fine breadcrumbs, add sugar, add beaten egg with milk (add milk slowly don’t drown the miller!) Shape gently into a ball and flatten slightly on a floured work top, cut out rounds, you can use a cleaned and floured jam jar of you don’t have fancy cutters

Chuck in sultanas or cherries if you want to,

Hot oven for ten minutes,

Serving suggestions:

Clotted cream and Mum’s homemade jam/jelly ;)
