Scottish Scones

Ingredients:
2 Cups self-raising flour
3 tbsp butter 1
1/2 Cup milk
pinch of salt

Steps:
Sieve the flour into a bowl and rub in the butter quickly and lightly with your fingertips. Add the salt and then using a round-bladed knife, mix in the milk a little at a time. With floured hands knead lightly to a soft dough, adding a little more milk if necessary. Roll out evenly but lightly about one finger thick on a floured board. Cut out with a pastry cutter using a quick sharp motion, but do not twist or the scones with distort as the bake. Cook on a greased baking sheet near the top of a preheated oven 425 F for 12-15 minuets These scones are best baked fresh for tea as they to stale very quickly. Brown scones are made in exactly the same way, substituting whole meal four for the half the white flour. For fruit scones add a tablespoonful of caster sugar and two tablespoonfuls of dried fruit before adding the milk.
