Classic Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking tray. Sift flour into a large bowl. Add butter. Rub in lightly, using fingertips.
2. 2
   Make a well in the center of the flour. Pour in combined milk and water, all at once, reserving about 1 tbsp. Using a bread and butter knife, mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.
3. 3
   Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a round about a 1/2 inch thick. Cut into wedges, using a floured knife, or rounds. Place close together on prepared tray. Brush with reserved liquid.
4. 4
   Bake for 10-12 mins until scones sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with jam and cream.
