Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a baking tray with paper.
Place the self raising flour, baking powder and butter into the bowl of your Thermomix and blitz for 10 seconds on speed 9 or until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the sultanas, milk, egg, salt and caster sugar and mix for 10 seconds on speed 4 or until combined.
Use the kneading (dough) function to mix for 40 seconds.
Pour onto a floured surface and gently work the mixture into a rectangle which is approximately 3cm thick.
Coat a round cutter in flour and cut our your scones. Place them close together (you want the to almost be touching) on your baking tray. Continue until you have used all the mixture.
Brush with a little milk and place the tray into the oven for approximately 12 minutes. The scones are ready when they begin to turn golden and make a hollow sound when tapped.
Carefully remove the tray from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
It is essential to use self-raising flour and NOT plain flour for this recipe as the scones will not rise if plain flour is used.These scones can be made larger or smaller than specified however the cooking time will vary.We like to enjoy these scones while they are still a little warm and smeared with a generous amount of butter, however you can also top them with your favourite jam (my boys like to eat them with Apricot Jam) and even a little fresh cream if you like. Store cooked scones in an airtight container and enjoy within five days. These Sultana Scones can also be frozen for up to two months.
