Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 240 grams whole wheat flour (wholemeal self-raising flour, 1 1/2 cups)
  • 225 grams self-rising flour (1 1/2 cups)
  • 60 grams margarine (light)
  • Sunbeam Super Berry Mix (2 x 25 gram packets cranberry, flame raisin, blueberry and goji, roughly chopped)

  • 1 tablespoon skim milk (extra for brushing)
  • 1/23 teaspoon margarine (light, per scone for serving, if you like)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 200C (fan-forced).

  • Step 2: Line a large tray with baking paper.

  • Step 3: Put flours in a medium bowl and add the margarine and using your fingertips to rub into the flours until well combined and then stir in dried fruits.

  • Step 4: Add milk and using a flat bladed knife, stir until the mixture just starts to combe together and turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until just smooth.

  • Step 5: Using a rolling pin, roll out dough until about 2cm thick and then using a 5cm round cutter, cut out 15 scones, re-rolling when necessary and reserving remaining dough.

  • Step 6: Place scones on a lined tray so they are just touching and brush with a little milk.

  • Step 7: Bring remaining together and roll out on a lightly floured surface until about 5mm thick (and 25cm long).

  • Step 8: Cut dough into strips about 5mm wide and place across top of scones in both directions to form crosses and then brush tops with a little more milk and bake for around 12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.

  • Step 9: Serve warm and spread with a little margarine, if you like.
