Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Pastry Brush (If you don't have one, just use your fingers. No stress!)
  • Cooling Rack (If you don't have one, a clean tea towel will do.)

Ingredients
  

  • 500 ml Inkomazi (sour milk)
  • 500 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 50 g cold and diced butter (This will make your scones light and flaky)
  • 1 Beaten Egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: First off, set your oven to 200°C. Get it nice and hot for our scones!
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Give it a good mix.
  • Add Butter: Now, add the cold, diced butter to your flour mix. Rub it in with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add Inkomazi and Egg: Make a well in the centre of your mixture. Pour in the Inkomazi and beaten egg. Stir until just combined. You want a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  • Shape Your Scones: With floured hands, gently shape your dough into a rough square about 2cm thick. Don't overwork the dough, we want light, fluffy scones!
  • Cut Out Scones: Using a sharp knife, cut your dough into squares. Place these onto your baking sheet.
  • Bake: Pop your scones into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
  • Cool and Enjoy: Let your scones cool on a wire rack (or clean tea towel) for a bit before tucking in.
