My scones didn't rise

Hello Jean,

Assuming your self-rising flour is in date, it’s most likely that the mixture was too dry. Delia uses 3 – 4 tablespoons of milk.

Delia always uses an old fashioned tablespoon (which is 20ml or the equivalent of 2 dessertspoons).

So for this rich fruit scones that’s between 60 and 80ml.

It can also happen when the mixture is over worked.

Kind regards

Lindsey
