Why do my scones have little brown marks inside?
This is caused by too much bicarbonate of soda. Make sure you sieve your baking powder first and measure your quantities with care.
- Sour milk is better than fresh for scones. It gives flavour and the extra acid also makes the raising agent work more effectively. You can buy this in most supermarkets – don’t just use your usual milk which has gone off!
- Brush the top of your scones with milk before you pop them in the oven. This will make them golden and glossy on top.
Why not put it to the test...
