Hot Cross Scones

A simple twist on an Easter favourite.
Ingredients
Amount
Ingredient
3 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon McKenzie's Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons McKenzie's Mixed Spice
1/2 teaspoon McKenzie's Ground Nutmeg
80 grams butter, cubed
1/2 cup sultanas or currants
1 1/4 cups milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220C and lightly dust baking tray with a little flour.
Step 2
Sift flour into a large bowl, add McKenzie's Ground Cinnamon, McKenzie's Mixed Spice and McKenzie's Ground Nutmeg and use your fingertips to rub in the butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Add sultanas and milk, mix until mixture forms a soft dough.
Step 4
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently - not too much or scones will be tough!
Step 5
Flatten dough to 2cm thick, cut into square and place on baking tray 1cm apart.
Step 6
Brush with a little milk and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden in colour.
Step 7
Optional: While scones are cooling, melt some chocolate and spoon into a plastic bag. Cut off the corner of the bag to create a small hole and pipe a cross onto each scone. Enjoy.
