This is a traditional oven-baked Scottish scone (the word rhymes with gone) and forms part of traditional Scottish tea-time fare.
Ingredients:
300g plain flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp butter
180ml milk
70g currants (optional)
Method:
Sift together the flour, sugar and baking powder into a bowl. Cut in the butter then mix together the baking soda and milk and stir into the flour mix (add the currants at this point, if using).
Divide the mixture into three pieces and roll these into rounds before dividing with a knife into four wedges. Transfer these to a greased baking tray then place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 18 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serve warm with plenty of butter.
