The recipe for the delicious scones at Avoca!

Ingredients

450g self-raising flour
a pinch of baking powder
a generous pinch of salt
50g caster sugar
110g unsalted butter, diced
1 egg lightly beaten
50ml double cream
200ml milk (you may need a little more)
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water to glaze

Preparation method

1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and stir in the sugar. Using your fingertips, lightly work in the butter until the mixture resembles dry breadcrumbs. Add the egg, cream and enough milk to moisten. Mix well until it has a soft, doughy texture - but it shouldn't be too moist.
 
2. Gather the dough into a ball and turn it out on to a floured surface, then roll lightly with a rolling pin to 2.5cm/1 inch thick. Cut out with a round cutter, transfer to a greased baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg glaze. Bake in an oven preheated to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 for 15- 20 minutes or until well browned.

    I made these for my girlfriend and was very nervous in case they'd turn out like bricks but they were top class! Really rich tasting too.
