Hot Cross Scones

Serves 12

Prep 10 mins

Cook 12 mins

3 cups self raising flour 1 tsp McKenzie's Ground Cinnamon 2 tsps McKenzie's Mixed Spice 1/2 tsp McKenzie's Ground Nutmeg 80 grams butter, cubed 1/2 cup sultanas or choc chips 1^1/4 cups milk

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220°C and lightly dust a flat baking tray with a little flour. Sift flour into a large bowl, add cinnamon, mixed spice and nutmeg and use your fingertips to rub in the butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add sultanas or choc chips and milk. Mix until mixture forms a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently (not too much or scones will be tough).

Step 3

Flatten dough to 2cm thick. Cut into square and place on baking tray 1cm apart. Brush with a little milk and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden in colour.

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.
