My two favourite tray bakes

Grandma’s Scone

An old family recipe and in my opinion the best scone in the world, it is cooked on a tray in a large moulded (mound) loaf rather than in individual scones and the middle is all soft and doughy packed with plenty of fruits while the edge is crisp.

Ingredients

300 g self-raising flour - sieved 70 g butter - soften 70 g white sugar 125 g raisins 12 or so glace cherries 1 egg - large 100 ml / 8 tablespoon any milk

Method

Rub the butter in to the flour and the sugar, till it resembles bread crumbs. Mix in the raisins and cherry’s. Meanwhile beat the egg and the milk together and reserve approx. 1 tablespoon to brush on top. Mix the rest of the egg mix in to the crumb mix by hand to form a soft dough. Grease and flour a baking sheet. Splat it on top and roughly form it in to a rounded rectangle. Score it in to 10 pieces. Egg wash with the reserved mix. Place in a cold oven on the top shelf, set at gas 8 / 220*c and cook for 10 minutes. Then turn the oven down to gas 5/ 200*c for another 12 - 14 minutes or until cooked. Although I like mine a little doughy in the middle.
