Classic Sweet Scones directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 fan. Sift the flour & salt in a large bowl. Cut the margarine into small pieces & rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs..
2. Stir in the sugar & add enough buttermilk to make a soft but not sticky dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead lightly the rollout to approximately ½ an inch thick and cut out rounds..
4. Place on a baking tray and brush the tops with the egg, careful not to drip down the sides as this will stop the scones rising evenly..
5. Bake at 180 C fan for 12-14 minutes, until well risen and golden brown.​.
