Put a teaspoon of baking powder added to the flour and sieve the flour into the bowl. Lift the flour out of the bowl as you are rubbing in the butter, which should be warmed, using only your fingertips. The trick is to try and get as much air into the mixture at the dry stage. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and stir.
Add an egg to a jug, whisk with a fork until it just goes through the tines of the fork, then make up to 6-7 fluid oz. Pour into the flour mixture, retaining an oz back to glaze the tops of the scones.
This will make a mixture which is almost like cake mixture. Turn out onto a floured board using more flour to counteract the stickiness, flatten with the palm of your hand until you have approx depth, 2-2.5 inches.
Then cut out scones, place them right next to each other on the baking tray, not separately. If you cook them as a batch, this stops them drying out whilst cooking. Use the bit of egg/milk mixture left over to glaze.
Cook for 20-30 mins. gas 6 (not sure what the electric is for that).
Celia's recipe for special scones, seared into my brain and approx 30 years old now. Never fails. Lovely moist scones, which rise well and are never dry. And they don't go stale quite so quickly due to the egg.
