Scones in Pictures...

Last year I wrote about Lemonade Scones.
Yes, indeed they were very yummy.
I have however since then, been whipping up a simpler version that I wanted to share. With pictures. Documenting my love for not only scones but also photo editing using Pixlr. This recipe is ridiculously simple and the scones so tasty, it'll have you making them all the time. So here goes:

Set your oven to 225 degrees.
The idea is to have two parts dry ingredients to one part wet so decide on a mug you'd prefer and stick with it (ie. it doesn't have to measure 1 cup in the metric sense)

Put two mugs of flour in a large bowl,


add a handful of currants.


Chop 100 grams butter and put in the mug.


Fill mug to half way with boiling water, leave butter to melt...


 When melted, top up with milk. Add to the flour.


Mix into a ball and knead lightly. The dough should be slightly sticky.


Push down onto a floured tray and cut but don't separate,


 Scones need each other to rise. Bake.


Eat with Orange Marmalade... (Recipe found here)


Enjoy. Not only the scones but the compliments you'll receive from your friends :-)
