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:
- Combine the self-raising flour and butter.
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.

Gavin Ashby says
I don’t have a thermomix but made these after a family member made some in her thermomix . Flour and butter in the mix master with balloon whisk. Then milk in with the dough hook. Best scones I’ve ever made.
Cheers,
Gavin

Just wondering if we can turn these into savoury scones by just adding the vegetables and cheese to the mix? Thanks 🙂
Lucy says
Hi Casey, you'd be best to use one of our savoury scone recipes instead: https://thermobliss.com/lunchbox-friendly-savoury-muffins/
Kath says
I never comment on anything but I just HAD to come and say this recipe was SO easy. I’ve never made such delicious, high-top, soft scones in my life. This will be my go to recipe from now on. Thank you.
Pamela says
Thanks so much for this awesome recipe. I'm a long time user of your recipes but first time commenting. I've tried various other scone recipes with fairly dismal results so when I made these, my husband and three boys hoovered them up immediately. Was easy to make, dough is wet but scone dough should be so just sprinkled a little flour over as directed, and was fine. Not overworking the dough was key though, and I used room temp eggs, and they were seriously the best scones I've ever made. I nestled them together (they were touching actually) as scones love company, and they rose so well and were delightfully fluffy and light. I then used your tips to whip the cream too, very helpful. I do love your recipes 🙂
Lucy says

Can’t fault anything with this recipe
Gayle says
Fabulous recipe! I add about 15seconds to dough mixing. My scones before these were like rocks! Thank you.
Eeejay says
The scones were great, really light and fluffy, only problem was the batter was SUPER sticky and hard to work with, took me nearly an hour more than the recipe said just because of the sticky dough
Peter says
These are the ducks guts !! My wife made her VERY FIRST batch of scones, and used this recipe. It is now one of her favourites. They were light, fluffy, and tasted REALLY good, unlike any other scone I've had.
Now to get her to branch out into sweet and/or savoury scones !!
Jade says
These were perfect.
I did need to mix speed 4 for an extra 5 seconds but they weren't tough or overmixed.
Light and fluffy.
