Have you got a Food processor or magi mix if so: all your scone ingredients in except liquid, blend until like breadcrumbs. I add dates to mine once have breadcrumb stage and then pulse to chop dates. Add liquid slowly until mix forms a ball but slightly dry. tip out onto a floured surface and roll out, do not pat or knead. cut into shapes and bake in top of oven at 220C for about 7 mins. watch closely so they don't burn. I do my scones like this as otherwise they turn out like rocks and I mean rocks totally inedible.

Isn't it amazing the completely different methods that work for each cook.

My mother makes the best scones and she was taught by her mother. All you need it 3 cups of plain flour, 3 teaspoons of BP and approx 1 cup of very cold water (chilled or been sitting in ice). The colder the water the better. Just mix all together until just mixed, pat out to about 1 1/2 inches thick, cut into what ever shape you want and place on cold tray in a 200 degree oven. Takes 15 mins and they will be just lovely. I add a little bit of sugar.
