  3. Step 3

    Place flours, sugar, and salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add margarine and use fingertips to quickly rub the spread into the flour until crumbly. Make a well in centre of the flour mixture.
  4. Step 4

    Spoon peanut butter mixture into the well and stir, using a flat-bladed knife and a cutting motion, until a soft dough forms.
  5. Step 5

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured bench-top, gently knead to just bring together, and pat into a rectangle, approx. 24 x 10 cm. Use a sharp knife to cut dough into 12 squares.
  6. Step 6

    Transfer scones to prepared tray, leaving a few millimetres between each, brush tops with extra milk. Bake 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Cool on tray.
  7. Step 7

    To make the glaze, place mashed berries in a small bowl and stir through icing sugar – start with ¼ cup and add an extra 1 tablespoon to taste, if desired. Add hot water to thin if necessary. Drizzle glaze over scones to serve.
