   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6                 oz  cold unsalted butter
   1                 lb  self-raising flour -- plus more for dusting
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
   2          teaspoons  sugar
   1              Pinch  salt
   2              large  eggs
   4        tablespoons  milk
   6                 oz  fresh blueberries -- or dried raisins
                         Egg Wash:
   2                     egg yolks
      1/4      teaspoon  sweetened condensed milk
      1/4      teaspoon  oil

Prep: 30 Mins
Bake: 20 Mins

The scones are crumbly, and the dough will rise taller than usual. 
They are especially heavenly when they are just hot off the oven. I 
didn't have any clotted cream so I just served them with butter.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Mix the Egg Wash ingredients together, set aside.

Put your butter, flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt into 
a mixing bowl and use your thumbs and fingers to break up the butter 
and rub it into the flour so you get little corn flake-sized pieces. 
Make a well in the middle of the dough, add the eggs and milk, and 
stir it up with a spatula. Add the blueberries to the mixture. Add a 
tiny splash of milk if needed, until you have a soft, dry dough. Move 
it around as little as possible to get it looking like a scruffy mass 
- at this point, you're done. Sprinkle over some flour, cover the 
bowl and pop it into the fridge for 15 minutes.

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1" 
thick. With a 2 1/2" round cutter, cut out circles from the dough and 
place them upside down on a baking sheet - they will rise better that 
way. Re-roll any off cuts to use up the dough. Brush the top of each 
scone with the the Egg Wash twice and bake in the oven for 15-18 
minutes, or until risen and golden. At that point, take them out of 
the oven and leave them to cool down a little. Serve with clotted 
cream (preferred), fruit jam, lemon curd, or butter.
