Cinnamon Scones

1lb self raising flour
3oz caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3oz butter
3oz white fat
1 egg
some milk
soft brown sugar

Method - Sift flour, add caster + BP. Rub in butter + fat. Add egg + enough milk until consistency is a floppy dough. Roll out to 1/2" rectangle. Melt a little butter & brush over dough then sprinkle with cinnamon & brown sugar ( I sometimes add a layer of sweet mincemeat at this stage - delicious ( or apple )). Roll like a swiss roll & cut into slices 1" thick. Cook at 180 oC for 10 - 20 mins. Serve hot with more butter on top + fresh cream. I frequently substitute the white fat for more butter or else just use any other scone recipe instead. WARNING : Not suitable for anyone on a weight reduction diet!!

Great - I've been wanting that recipe off you since I tried them at your house.

Ta loads.

Although I must admit we are totally sold on the Cinnamon Rolls that Kelly showed me how to make while she was here. Definitely not for the dieters !!!!
