Susan's Light Scones

Popping this recipe here so I don't lose it.  My good friend Susan sent two of these scones round the other week, oh my, they were the best scones I have ever had and she has kindly let me have the recipe.  I must have a go!

• 200g (8oz) Be-Ro self raising flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 50g (2oz) margarine
• 25g (1oz) sugar
• 50g (20z) currants or sultanas (I’ve also used glace cherries rather than the small fruit)
• 1 egg beaten with a little milk (when I double the recipe I use 2 eggs with a dash of milk)
