Super Fast and Easy Scones and No Kneading

No kneading, no rolling out of dough, no cutting into circles – you bake them in a muffin tin! This is super easy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 ml) blending flour (regular cake flour will also be perfect)
- 4 tsp (20 ml) baking powder
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- ¼ cup (62.5 ml) oil
- 1 X-large egg
- 1½ cup milk (I used 2% milk) so I only used milk, but if you prefer you can use a mixture of 1 cup milk and ½ cup water.
- ¾ cup Safari (SA Brand) cake fruit mix, but you can use any dry cake mix. It should not be the sticky one with syrup! [Optional]
Instructions
Heat oven to 180C / 350F.
I prefer to use cupcake liners (less fuss and bother and no mess), but you can use a cake release and paint the inside of the muffin wells.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Add the oil, egg, and milk (milk/water mixture) and mix through with a spoon or spatula until no lumps or dry patches left.
If you do decide to add the cake fruit mix, add it now and make sure to distribute it evenly throughout the batter. For good measure (I love cake mix) I sprinkled some extra over the top of each muffin.
Spoon batter into 12 cupcake wells (divide evenly) and bake for 20-30 minutes (oven depending) until baked through and when you to the cake pin tester in the center of the muffin, it does come out clean.
Check after 20 minutes. If you do not use the muffin liners, leave them in the pan to cool down slightly before you remove the scones.
As I used lines, I took them out and left them on a cooling tray.
