Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 68 g butter , cut into pieces (1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream , might need less
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or use 1/4 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out)
  • 1/2 cup currants (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a big bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. If using vanilla bean add it now.
  2. Add the butter and rub it in using two knives, a pastry blender or your finger tips. When the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, stop.
  3. Add the beaten egg and enough cream to make a soft but not sticky dough.
  4. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly (not more than 8 times).
  5. Pat down and cut out scones using a cookie cutter or a glass (I use a glass of 7.5 cm in diameter).
  6. Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and brush with some cream if you like.
  7. Bake in the pre-heated oven at 220°C/425°C for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
