Classic Basic Scones from the National Trust

Here we go round one!

After a good hour going through recipes the perfect way to spend my Sunday evening. I went with the National Trust scone recipe available "Here"

I found the instructions a little strange to follow.  After adding the butter I had a bread crumb texture when the recipe said I should have a light dough but after adding the milk it came together well.  I also cut the sugar to just 50 grams as I am always aiming to make things a little healthy...er!  I also baked them for an extra 5min as they looked a little under done after only 15min.  But other then that they seemed ok and did rise so thats a first for me.

My very willing husband and I took on the horrible job of testing and scoring... here we go. 

Height after baking  4.8cm

The visual impact   5/10  (nice colour after an extra 5min cooking, but a little wonky looking)

Texture    9/10

Taste   7.5/10

Total = 21.5/30

If anyone else gives them a try do let me know how you got along.
