In a shocking bout of amnesia, I forgot to post the basic scone recipe, courtesy of Steve’s Kitchen. His recipe is a bit sparse, so here it is fleshed out in all its glory.

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Mix the first 4 ingredients to make a fairly wet dough. Cut your scones to your preferred size, being very gentle when you re-work the dough to prevent gluten formation which will make subsequent scones tough.

Brush the top of the scones with the egg yolk then bake the scones for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top becomes golden brown and delicious. Serve with lemon curd, or with clotted cream and jam.
