Currant scones, sometimes slathered with clotted cream or topped with butter and fruit jam, are a very classic, British way to enjoy this baked treat. A pinch of nutmeg in the batter adds just the right amount of spice. For the airiest scones, skip the food processor and hand-mix the batter ingredients using a light touch when kneading.

Instructions to make Scones:
- Preheat the oven to 230 C.
- Mix all dry ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, salt, and baking powder (if using)). Chop the butter into small cubes, and rub in with your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- Pour the milk into a mixing jar, and crack the egg in. Mix with a whisk until it's a smooth consistency.
- Pour most of the wet mixture in to the dry mixture (retaining some for glazing), and mix with a fork or spoon until it comes together. Most of the mixing can be done without your hands, so this recipe is relatively clean!
- Flour a dry surface lightly, and knead the dough lightly and for a short time just to bring together. This is where you'd add in the dry fruit (if using). I don't have any scone cutters, so I form the scone shape by hand. Divide the dough into four roughly equal quarters, and roll each in your hand until they form into a small sphere.
- Place the small spheres onto baking paper, and squash down with the palm of your hand a little bit. Using the left over milk/egg mixture, glaze the top of the top of these.
- When the oven is hot enough, cook for about 12/13 mins, or until the colour of the scones looks right. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins, cut in half, liberally apply your favourite toppings, and enjoy with a cup of tea!
