Double Decker Scones

These are my Double Decker Scones.

I roll mine thinner and stack them in twos so they slice really easily without making lots of crumbs or breaking.

This is how my Mum taught me. I made these Vegan so used Vitalite and oat milk but you can also use any baking margarine or baking fat.

Any plant milk or cow’s milk can be used.

If you want to add some dried fruit or cheese just throw in a handful or two.

I served these with homemade jam. Makes 12 scones.

• 459g/16 oz self raising flour

• Gas 5

Method

• Rub in the fat into the flour/salt/baking powder

• Make sure it is not too sticky-you need to be able to roll it.

• Brush the top of one round with a little milk and put another round on top pressing down gently.
