Method

Preheat oven to 220°C conventional (or 200°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Put the flour, baking powder, mixed spice, cinnamon, ginger and 2 tablespoons Chelsea Raw Sugar in a medium bowl. Stir well. Add the butter and using your fingertips rub the butter into the flour mixture. Add the milk and using a flat-bladed knife mix until the dough just starts to come together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and bring together to form a ball. Roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin until 2cm thick. Using a 41/2cm-cutter cut out 16 rounds, rerolling the dough if necessary.

Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra milk. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the scones are golden and cooked through.
