My dad is famous for his scones. He doesn’t bother with cut-out round scones, which leaves too much leftover dough. He just takes a large knife and cuts them into squares for an easy, no-fuss, but still perfect outcome. He doesn’t bother brushing the tops of each scone with milk either. He thinks it makes no difference, whereas I think it makes for a slightly prettier scone. You can decide for yourself which way is best!
These scones have no added sugar, which makes them perfect for kids, but if you’re not serving them with jam and want a little sweetness, add a tablespoon of sugar with the flour.
