Jam Bakes and Food Scone Recipe
Scones
3 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup castor sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
100g butter
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk or little more as needed
  1. Add salt to self raising flour
  2. Rub butter into flour till you get a crumbly mixture. 
  3. Add sugar to the flour mixture
  4. Combine milk and yogurt and mix well
  5. Add most of the yogurt/milk mix to the flour mix and combine gently with a fork. Add a little more as needed to make a shaggy dough that just comes together. You may add a little extra milk as needed to get a shaggy dough with no dry bits of flour. 
  6. Do not knead. 
  7. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and pat down about 1.5cm thick. Cut rounds or any desired shape and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. 
  8. Brush tops only with milk. 
  9. Bake at 180deg for 12-15min till the tops are lightly brown. 
  10. Remove from the oven and transfer scones to a cooling rack to cool. 
For savoury cheese scones:
