Fruited Scones

Makes 6

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

Before you start, pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7 and lightly grease a baking tray.

ingredients:

  • 200g (8oz) JUVELA Gluten-Free Fibre Mix
  • 1tsp baking powder*
  • 50g (2oz) margarine
  • 25g (1oz) caster sugar
  • 75g (3oz) glace cherries, finely chopped or 75g (3oz) sultanas
  • 1 medium egg, beaten with sufficient milk to make 125ml (¼ pt) of liquid

Method:

Place the Mix and baking powder in a large bowl and rub in the margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 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. Cut out scones using a fluted scone cutter (re-knead any trimmings and repeat).

Place onto baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
