    I've been making these Thermomix Four Ingredient Scones for years now and while it's always been quick and easy to put together, using a Thermomix makes it dangerously easy to have a batch of these little beauties in the oven in no time at all - in fact you can be enjoying these scones in less than 30 minutes!

    If I had to choose my favourite morning or afternoon tea treat, without a doubt I would have to choose Scones.  There is nothing better than sitting down with a hot cup of tea and enjoying a freshly baked Scone which is slathered in Jam and Cream.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • Budget friendly - these scones are made with pantry staples.
    • FOUR ingredients - there is no need for fancy ingredients when making this recipe!
    • Quick to prepare - you can be enjoying these scones in less than half an hour.
    • Freezer friendly - any leftover scones can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.

    Ingredients

    Please note you will find the full ingredient list and method in the recipe card below:

    • Self-raising Flour - it is ESSENTIAL to use self-raising flour for this recipe to ensure your scones rise.
    • Butter - Chilled butter is best as it will combine easily with the flour.
    • Milk - either full cream or reduced fat milk can be used for this recipe - please note you may need to add more flour if using a low fat milk.
    • Salt - if you really want to you can leave this out.

    How to Make 4 Ingredient Scones:

    1. Combine the self-raising flour and butter.
    Scone ingredients in a Thermomix bowl.

    2. Add the milk and salt and mix to combine.

    3. Select the kneading function and mix until a ball forms.

    4. Turn the dough onto a bench (or thermomat) which has been lightly dusted with flour. If your dough is sticky, add a tablespoon or two of flour until the desired consistency is reached. Gently shape the dough to form a rectangle.

    5. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the scones and place onto a prepared baking tray. Lightly brush with milk.

    6. Bake until golden and cooked through.

    Expert tips for making 4 Ingredient Scones in the Thermomix:

    • Use butter that has come straight from the fridge.
    • Your mixture will be sticky - this is normal. Add a little extra flour once the dough has been transferred to bench.
    • Use your hands to lightly flatten the dough, don't use a rolling pin.
    • Be careful to not overwork the dough.
    • Place the scones close together on your baking tray, you want them to almost be touching each other.
    • Bake in a very hot oven.
    • To store, place in an airtight container and store in a cool place for up to four days.
    Can you freeze scones?

    Yes, you can freeze scones. Place into a freezer safe container and store for up to three months.

      Just came out of the oven. So surprise with how they evened out and puffed up after the way they looked when they first went in.
      Next time may add some extra flour to make them more easier to handle.
      Thanks a lot for the recipe.

      Hi,
      Just finished whipping up the scones. The dough is very wet and hard to shape. Ended up shaping with my hands.
      Just popped in the oven. I do have hope though after reading others posts about the final product.

          I can’t wait to make them. Do you think 5.30 am on a Sunday morning is to early to turn the thermo on. ( Lol).

      Lovely fluffy scones, but wondered whether it shoud be 500g of milk or 500ml it was so wet.

        500g milk and 500ml milk is the same amount. Just like water, the weight of milk equals the volume. (Unlike something like flour, where 500ml weighs about 300g).

      I just made these and they were flat as tacks, perhaps it was my flour, used Bakers flour.
      Oh well only made for kids morning tea and they are happily muting on them lol
      Will try the recipe again.

        Hi Jane,
        Unfortunately you need to use self raising flour when making scones as bakers flour doesn't have the same raising agents in it. At least the kids enjoyed them 🙂

      Wow! I must be honest, I had my doubts when I was cutting these out. The dough is so wet and hard to work with, but I'm so glad I persisted. These are the lightest, fluffiest scones I've ever made! Thanks 🙂
