• Put in the milk 3 teaspoons flour, the sugar and fresh yeast. Set aside.
• Pure all the other ingredients in a food processor and last add to the mixture the milk and mix together until well combined.
• Put the dough on a floured work surface and cover it, and allow it to prove for about an hour until doubled in size.
• Knead the dough very lightly.
• Pat out to a round 1cm/2/5in thick. Use a 4cm/1,5in cutter to stamp out rounds and place on the prepared flat trays. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
• Brush the tops of the scones with yolk.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.

EASY POTATO SCONES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
• Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven. Serve with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.
