Hi Bold Bakers!
Scones were an essential part of my life growing up in Ireland. Anytime you’d drop by a friend or family member’s house, you’d have a hot cup of tea and freshly baked scones ready for you. When I started baking, this was one of my first recipes and it’s an essential one for any Bold Baker. I’ll show you all of my best tips and tricks to making perfect buttery scones every time. And don’t forget the jam and cream to make them extra Big & Bold!

Rub in the cold butter with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Turn your dough onto a floured work surface
Knead lightly to give your dough a smooth surface
Pat your dough down with your hand until around 1 inches thick
With a scone cutter cut out your lovely little scones. You will have around 12
Put on a baking tray, glaze the tops of your scones with some milk to give them a golden top when baked
