1 lb. self-rising flour
1 tsp. salt
4 oz. butter
2 tbsp. castor sugar
2 oz. finely chopped walnuts and/or raisins
2 tbsp. clear honey
"Generous" 1/4 pt. cold milk

Sift flour and salt into a basin and rub in the butter. Add sugar, walnuts and/or raisins and mix to a soft but not sticky dough with the honey and milk.

Turn onto a lightly floured board; knead quickly and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds and put on a greased baking sheet. Brush top of scones with beaten egg or milk and bake at 425 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. When cool, spread with butter and serve with a cup of tea around 3 pm. The boss will love it!!
