Funfetti Scones

Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan oven, gas 7). Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. 

Sift the flour and Baking Powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and using your fingertips rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Lift your hands while doing this to encourage air into the mixture. 

Mix in the sugar, and then add in the milk, and mix until it forms a smooth dough. Knead in the sprinkles.  

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until all the dough comes together, avoid over handling the dough. 

Gently press the dough into a circle shape, flattening it until it is around 2cm in thickness. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 12 equal triangles, just like slicing a pizza. Carefully transfer the triangles to the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one to allow for spreading as they bake. Brush each scone with a little milk. 

Bake for 12–15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Cool for a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. 

Once cooled make the icing. Pop the icing in a bowl with 1 tbsp water and mix until it makes a thick icing. Add more water to make a desired consistency. Dip the scones into the icing and then sprinkle with the remaining Unicorn Confetti Sprinkles.
