PreparationMakes 20 mini scones
1. Pulse the butter, flour and sugar together very briefly, just until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 2. Mix the buttermilk and egg together and pour through chimney of the food processor as it rotates. 3. Process together just until the dough form a ball. Do not over mix as your scones will turn out flat. 4. Lightly flour your work surface and turn dough out. Shape into a disk and lightly flour the surface. 5. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is 2.5cm thick. 6. With your mini pastry cutter, cut out as many scones as you can and place onto your prepared baking tray. Do not wiggle the cutter, press straight down. 7. Reform and roll out the remaining dough and complete the scones. 8. Brush the scones with egg wash or a little milk. A sprinkle of caster sugar over is optional. 9. Bake for 8 minutes, longer if you make larger scones. 10. Leave to cool on a wire rack. 11. Serve with jam and whipped cream.
