Scones and tea, what could be more relaxing and with this gluten free scone recipe it can be enjoyed by all

Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 220 ° C (430 ° F)

Lightly grease baking tray

Method:

Sift flour, salt and sugar into a large bowl
Rub in the butter, using fingertips until the mixture is fine and crumbly
Lightly beat egg and milk in a separate bowl.
Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour all the egg mixture into the well.
Mix lightly with spoon or spatula to form soft dough. Slowly add small quantity of flour to prevent sticking, if needed.
Gather the dough together, (do not knead the dough) and merely turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly press out the dough until it is 2.5 cm thick.
Cut out rounds with a floured 5 cm cutter
Heat a baking tray in the oven for 5 minutes
Place with the extra milk. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
If you are serving the scone warm, straight from the oven, wrap them in a clean tea towel while still hot.

Serving: serve warm or cold with butter, cream, jam or strawberries.
