Ingredients
- 340 g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting, aka self-rising flour
- 150 ml buttermilk
- 150 ml thickened cream
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 teaspoon demerara sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200c.
- Combine buttermilk and cream in a jug and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine self-raising flour, caster sugar and cinnamon then whisk to combine.
- Add the cream mixture (reserve a dribble in the jug for brushing - see my notes) to the bowl with the dry ingredients along with the vanilla.
- Combine using a flat-bladed knife, using your hands to bring it all together for the final strokes (the dough should still look shaggy).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead very lightly until it just comes together - it doesn't need to be totally smooth - you want to knead it as little as possible.
- Pat the dough into a flat disc approximately 20cm (8") in diameter and place on a floured baking tray, cut into 8 equal wedges using a floured knife or bench scraper.
- Brush the top of the dough with the leftover cream mixture, then sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Separate the portions slightly, then bake for 13 - 15 minutes or until the scones sound hollow when you tap them.
Notes
- Please note that nutritional information is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- When you combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients you want to mix just enough to bring the dough together, don't over-mix it.
- The same goes for kneading the dough, knead it as little as you can - the more you do the tougher the scones will be.
- Brushing the top of the raw dough with the leftover cream mixture makes the sugar stick.
