2 cups SR flour
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 to 3 tablespoons oil or dripping
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
Jam, honey or bacon for serving
Method: Combine flour and salt. Rub in butter with fingertips until crumbly. Add milk, mixing to a soft dough. Turn out on to lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll out to 2 cm (3/4in) thickness; cut into rounds with a 6 cm (2&1/2in) scone cutter. Heat oil in large frying pan; add scones and gently fry until brown and puffed, turning once, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with accompaniments of your choice. Makes 8.
