Amasi scones

Ingredients 2 cups (560 g) cake flour, sifted 3 tbsp (30 ml) baking powder 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 1 tsp (5 ml) sugar ½ cup (115 g) Clover Mooi River Butter, softened 1 egg 1 cup (250 ml) Clover Amasi ¼ cup (60 ml) Clover Full Cream Milk For glazing: 1 egg, beaten

Method Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Put the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl.

Rub the butter into the flour mixture, using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Beat the egg and Clover Amasi together.

Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the Clover Amasi mixture.

Using a butter knife, gently cut into the liquid to form a soft dough.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of 2 cm.

Cut out rounds using a cookie-cutter.

Place the scones on a greased baking tray.

Brush the tops with some of the egg glaze.

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until puffed up and golden.
