Scones

8oz self raising flour
4oz butter
a little milk to mix
tsp bicarb of soda

Simple to make, delicious with clotted cream, jam and a little butter. In a clean mixing bowl sift flour with butter and get your hands in a crumble to breadcrumbs, if you want to add a flavouring such as cherries add now (suggestion: 2 oz castor sugar, glace cherries. savoury: pinch of salt and 2 oz cheddar cheese) along with the bicarb of soda. Mix with the milk to form a firm- ish dough. On a flat surface roll out with a rolling pin to about 1 and a half inchs thick, use a circular cutter (or a glass or a cup) to cut out scones. Place on a greased baking sheet and in a preheated oven (175f) for twenty five minutes until scones are lightly browned on the top and firm to the touch.
