Ingredients

For the scones

110g Kerrygold Pure Irish Salted Butter
450g self-raising flour
5g baking powder
2.5g salt
50g caster sugar
2 eggs (1 will be for the glaze)
50ml cream
150ml milk

For the topping

Fruit, sugar or any other topping of choice.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. Rub in the butter to this mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk and cream together. Add this ‘egg mix’ to your ‘breadcrumb’ mix and stir until combined.
5. Once mixed, place this onto a clean surface and knead lightly.
6. Roll out to about 2 inches high.
7. Cut out your scone shapes and place them on a baking dish lined with baking paper.
8. Beat an egg and brush it over your scones.
9. Add fruit, sugar or topping of your choice (the topping will stick to the egg wash).
10. Bake for 15-25 minutes.
