In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Transfer all the fruit scones on to the hot baking tray and brush the tops and sides with beaten egg. Put the oven tray at the top of the oven if you're using a conventional oven.

To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have sig's simple fruit scones using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Sig's Simple Fruit Scones:
  1. Make ready self raising flour
  2. Prepare unsalted butter, cold cubed
  3. Prepare castor sugar, or equivalent sugar substitute
  4. Prepare dried fruit ie (sultanas, cherries, apricots, cranberries)
  5. Get medium egg, beaten thoroughly
  6. Take whole milk

These are deliciously crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside accompanied by the sweet chew of the raisins. I like to enjoy them warm with some jam and clotted cream. The question is, jam first or cream first? To make summer fruit scones, it's key to have a good, well-tested base recipe.

Steps to make Sig's Simple Fruit Scones:
  1. First set to preheat oven at 200 °C. Oil a baking sheet.
  2. Sift flour into bowl, rub in the butter with your fingertips, until it looks like breadcrumbs without any lumps of butter.
  3. Stir in the dried fruit and sugar
  4. Add the egg, slowly add most of the milk setting a little aside for brushing later, mix all until you have worked a soft dough. Do not overwork the dough. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board, roll out about 2 or 3 fingers thick. You can roll them out thinner but they wont rise as much and you can sandwich 2 together with cream and jam.
  5. Stamp out rounds with cutter, until pastry is used up. Remember though that smaller ones will bake quicker then the normal sized scones.
  6. Brush the scone tops with milk. Bake for 10 or 15 minutes until they have risen and are golden brown. Scones are served best warm. It really does not matter if you serve with clotted cream spread first or strawberry jam first.

Use a gentle touch when folding in the fruit: You don't want to mash delicate ingredients like berries or stone fruit. Carefully folding the fruit into the dough will help keep it intact, which will also prevent the dough from getting too soft from the fruit's juice. Currant scones, sometimes slathered with clotted cream or topped with butter and fruit jam, are a very classic, British way to enjoy this baked treat. A pinch of nutmeg in the batter adds just the right amount of spice. For the airiest scones, skip the food processor and hand-mix the batter ingredients using a light touch when kneading.
