Scones, a classic served with jam and cream or simply buttered!

Ingredients

1tsp baking powder*
1 medium egg, beaten (with sufficient milk to make 125ml of liquid )
200g (8oz) Juvela Gluten-Free fibre mix
50g (2oz) margarine
25g (1oz) caster sugar
75g (3oz) glace cherries (finely chopped or 75g sultanas)

Instructions

  1. Before you start, pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7 and lightly grease a baking tray.
  2. Place the Mix and baking powder in a large bowl and rub in the margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Stir in the caster sugar and cherries/sultanas and then add sufficient liquid to form a soft but not sticky dough. Knead lightly on a surface lightly dusted with Mix and pat down until dough is 1inch thick.
  4. Cut out scones using a fluted scone cutter (re-knead any trimmings and repeat).
  5. Place onto baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
