Method
-
Heat the oven to 210°C, or 190°C fan, and line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the milk and lemon juice in a jug and set aside while preparing the dry ingredients.
-
Sift the 450 g dough flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar.
-
Rub the chilled butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the sultana raisins.
-
Make a well in the centre, pour in the lemon-milk mixture and bring together with a round-bladed knife or spatula. Stop as soon as a rough dough holds together.
-
Dust the work surface with some of the remaining 10 g flour. Flatten the dough by hand, fold once, then pat out to about 2.5 cm thick.
-
Cut rounds with a floured 6 cm cutter, pressing straight down without twisting. Gently gather the trimmings to make about 12 scones.
-
Arrange the scones on the tray with space between them. Beat the egg and brush only the tops.
-
Bake for about 17 minutes, until risen and golden.
-
Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
