Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.

  2. For the scones, place the flour, sugar, 50g/1¾oz butter and the salt into a food processor and blend until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. Add the milk gradually until the mixture comes together as a dough (you may not need it all). Stir in the sultanas.

  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly roll out to 2.5cm/1in thick. Cut out 5cm/2in circles with a fluted pastry cutter.

  5. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat, add the remaining butter and griddle the scones for 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5-6 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.

  6. For the caramelised pecans, gently melt the sugar in a frying pan until golden. Stir in the pecans and orange juice and stir to coat the nuts. Pour onto a non-stick baking sheet and leave to cool.

  7. To serve, place the scones onto plates and sprinkle over the caramelised pecans.
