To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have english scones using 7 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make English Scones:

- Take 1/4 tsp salt
- Prepare 1 large egg

Quick and Easy to make, moist, light and fluffy! Back in those days, Hong Kong was a British Colony, and was very 'British', so my school was English as were the teachers. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Steps to make English Scones:
- Preheat oven 200degrees celcius or equivilant
- Grease baking sheet
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and mix together to make sure well combined
- Crack the egg into the milk and whisk until well combined
- Dot the butter into the bowl with the flour mix and using fingertips blend until resembles course breadcrumbs
- Add the milk and egg mixture to the bowl a little at a time using a wooden spoon until forms a dough. Do not over mix. You may not need all the egg and milk. Stop adding when all ingredients are combined into a dough thats not too wet and sticky
- Dust work surface and hands with flour, turn the dough out and knead quickly into a ball. Pat the ball of dough down with your hand and then roll so the dough its 1-2 cms high.
- Using a lightly floured cookie cutter or other round implement cut out your scones from the dough. Ball up the leftover dough, re-roll and cut some more scones until you run out of dough
- Place scones on greased baking sheet well spaced. Either brush with milk for a brown top or dust with flour depending on your preferance.
- Put baking sheet into middle of oven. The scones take approx 15-20 mins. They should have risen and be lightly browned. To test if cooked put a toothpick into the centre of one, it should come out clean.
- Leave to cool down a bit on a wire rack
- Serve with butter or thick cream (clotted cream is best) and jam of your choice. Instead of jam you could use fresh fruit. Sliced strawberries are good :)
British scones are small nibbles that are fairly plain on their own, but are classically eaten with jam and clotted cream, making for a real treat. When you first try an authentic British scone, you might be tempted to think of it as a biscuit. (Unless, of course, you're from the southern US, where biscuit-making is an art. Scones are an intrinsic part of both British and Irish cooking. The classic scone in this recipe has been mixed, baked, and eaten on these islands for centuries and are as popular today as they ever were. English scones contain more leavening agent than you would normally use for this amount of flour but you want them to rise high in a short time.
