It's so good to be back after 4months of final year papers. Being in Malaysia for barely 48hours I have already made durian layer cake,chocolate chip cookies & scones with clotted cream &mixed fruit jam. The durian layer cake was a little strange,not too sure why but I wouldn't do again. I wasted half a carton of whipping cream for the so called durian mousse. Anyway, I made the scones perfectly this time after getting flat ones before.

450g self raising flour
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon icing sugar
60g butter,chilled
approximately 400ml buttermilk
Milk to brush on scones
Method
- Grease pan.Preheat oven at a very hot temperature.
- Sift dry ingredients into large bowl, rub in butter with fingers.
- Slowly stir in buttermilk just enough to form sticky and soft dough.
- Turn dough onto well floured surface, and knead gently until dough is smooth.
- Gently roll out dough to 2cm thickness and using a scone cutter gently cut the dough.Don't twist after gently pressing the cutter into the dough as it will not rise.
- Brush milk on scones and bake for 15minutes. Make sure the oven is very hot to make the scones rise quickly.
