    Method

    • step 1

      Pre-heat the oven to 180 fan and line a tray with baking paper. Add the flour, salt and butter into a bowl and rub until it resembles breadcrumbs.
    • step 2

      Mix in the sugar and raisins. Pour in almost all the milk and all the almond extract until you have a dough.
    • step 3

      Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into 12 using a cookie cutter.
    • step 4

      Put the scones on the tray and glaze with left over milk and cook for 10-15 minutes.
    • step 5

      Serve with a cup of tea!

    This recipe produces a dough that is far too sticky. I ended having to add about 3 dessertspoons of self-raising flour and then the scones didn't rise.

    I noticed the recipe says vanilla extract but the method says almond...

    This recipe makes lovely scones :) a real hit with the whole family and none of that horrible baking powder taste either. Takes about 5 mins to make the mix up which produces 6 biggish scones.

    Made these with my 4 yr old. The mix made 7 scones, they are super light and fluffy :)
