I found this great tea cakes book from the library. The title is 'Tea-time Recipes' by Jane Pettigrew. Tried one of the scones recipe and the results is delightful and off course, very easy to make. The scones is light and you can cut the dough into triangle shape like what I did instead using the round cutter and you have mini scones for your munches :) The recipe is from the book itself as follow (I omit the other scale of measurements):
350 gr self-raising flour, sifted
50 gr margarine, softened (I sub the margarine and lard with butter)
50 gr lard, softened
100-115ml milk
Preheat the oven to 190C. Grease 2 baking trays. Rub the fats into the flour, working as quickly and lighty as possible with cold hands. Add enough milk to give a soft, bread-like dough. On a floured board, roll out to a thickness of 1.5cm and cut into rounds with 6cm cutter. Place on the prepared trays and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden and well risen. Remove from the oven and lift on to a wire rack to cool.
