With the addition of toasted muesli, these scones make an ideal mid-morning snack.

Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 30g butter, chilled, chopped
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup toasted muesli
• butter and honey, to serve

Method

• Preheat oven to 250°C. Lightly grease a 19cm square (base) cake pan.
• Sift flours and sugar into a large bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add milk. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir to form a soft dough, adding more milk if necessary. Turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface. Add muesli. Knead gently until dough comes together.
• Cut dough in half. Shape 1 half of dough into a 2cm-thick round. Using a 5cm scone cutter or glass, cut rounds from dough. Repeat with dough scraps. Place scones in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and dough scraps.
• Bake scones for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Serve with butter and honey.
