I used this recipe to make sultana scones, and I did add the 1/4 cup of sugar. This recipe makes beautifully light and fluffy scones, I will definitely make these again.

Very Easy and tasty

Took about 30 minutes to make, I don't regret it. Very tasty and filling my family loves these and I will definitely be making these again! (i had these will jam and stuffed a few with cheese.

So incredibly easy and they are perfect every time.

The scones come out brown

I think the butter helps brown the scones. But probably for my household less sugar say about 2 Tablespoons should do it. Thanks for the recipe.

Absolutely amazing. I have always been a failure at scones usually turning out something resembling small rocks, but these came out as beautiful light & fluffy raised scones. Viva Success at last.

Method

Put oven settings to fan bake and put the oven on its hottest temperature.

Grease an oven tray. In a large bowl, sift the flour and optional sugar.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and allow to cool. Add milk to butter once cooled.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry until it is nice and moist.

Tip out onto a floured bench and form into a 'round'. Carefully lift and place onto baking tray (a dough scraper helps) and cut into wedges (leave with sides touching - scones will pull apart after baking). Alternatively, use a cookie cutter or knife to cut into rounds or squares.

Turn oven down to 200°C still on fan bake.

Bake for around 15 minutes or until golden and test by sticking a knife in the centre of the scone. This should come out clean if cooked.

For sultana scones add ½ cup of sultanas to flour.

Hope you like them!!!
