Rustic Fruit Scones instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 Celsius (fan) or gas mark 6. Line flat baking tray with tin foil or baking paper..
  2. Place flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Dice butter into mixing bowl and rub into flour mix until it looks like breadcrumbs. (Note: Keep hands cold and dry to stop butter melting while rubbing. Use tip of fingers).
  3. Mix fruit (or cheese) and add egg and milk. Mix by hand till a dough forms. Do not over work..
  4. Roll out dough onto floured surface until about 2cm thick. Cut with 2 1/4 inch round cutter or hand roll into ball and flatten to about a small mug’s diameter. (I like to hand roll them before baking for a more ‘rustic’ look) Brush or dab milk wash with fingers on top of scones.
  5. Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and risen. Leave to cool and serve with your favourite fillings!.

Rustic Fruit Scones - The dough comes together in just a few minutes, so you can have a fresh batch even on a busy morning. What makes these scones rustic is the way they are shaped. Shaping scones is the most intimidating thing about making them. Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved egg. Remove and cool on a wire rack. This fantastic Strawberry Jam is simply perfect to go with a Mary Berry fruit scone. You will hear the dough give a big sigh as the cutter goes in. Thank you and good luck
