Easy Scone Recipe  

Here at Children’s Hospice South West, our hospice cooks make exceedingly good scones! Many of you will have a favourite, tried and tested recipe but we thought we would share ours just in case! This scone recipe is super-easy, so children can join in too. 

Ingredients

  • 450g (1lb) self-raising flour  (½ white and ½ wholemeal)  
  • 100g (4oz) margarine  
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda  
  • 1½ tsp cream of tartar  
  • 2 tsp baking powder  
  • Milk of your choice to mix  
  • Sultanas (optional)  

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, adding enough milk to bind into a dough.  
  2. Roll the dough to 1 inch thick. Cut out with a cutter into individual scone shapes and bake at 200C for 7 to 10 minutes until golden brown.  
  3. Place on a wire rack to cool.  
  4. Cut each scone in half and pile high with lashings of clotted cream and strawberry jam.
  5. Enjoy!
