Olde English Scones
Ingredients
8oz plain flour (save a little for rolling out dough)
3 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1oz sugar
2oz dried sultanas or raisins
2oz butter (save a little for greasing tray)

- Heat the oven to 450 degrees / 230 degrees / Gas 8.
- Lightly grease a shallow flat baking tray.
- Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir together.
- Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like large breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar and dried fruit. Stir well.
- Mix in the beaten egg and milk to form a soft dough.
- Turn out on a lightly-floured surface and knead until the dough forms a large ball.
