Bero Scones are traditional British scones made using self-raising flour, butter, sugar, and milk. They have a slightly crumbly texture and are often served warm with butter, jam, or cream. The recipe originates from the famous Be-Ro baking book, a staple in British kitchens for generations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 50g butter (cold, cubed)
  • 25g caster sugar
  • 150ml milk
  • 1 egg (for glazing, optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven.
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients.
    In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour and add a pinch of salt. Stir in the caster sugar.
  • Step 3: Rub in the butter.
    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Step 4: Add the milk.
    Make a well in the center and gradually pour in the milk. Mix gently with a spoon or hands until it forms a soft dough.
  • Step 5: Roll out the dough.
    Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 2cm thick.
  • Step 6: Cut out scones.
    Use a round cutter to cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking tray.
  • Step 7: Glaze and bake.
    Brush the tops with a little beaten egg or milk for a golden finish. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown.
  • Step 8: Serve warm.
    Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, then serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
