Hey everyone, it is me, Dave, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, scones. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Follow the recipe for Simple Scones, adding a generous teaspoon of finely grated orange rind (zest) to the dry ingredients and substituting dried cranberries for the raisins. Lemon-Blueberry Scones I go on vacation with my best friend to Michigan every July. Her cousin is allowed to come, too—but only if she brings her special cherry scones!
Scones is one of the most popular of recent trending foods on earth. It is appreciated by millions every day. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. Scones is something that I have loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have scones using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Scones:
- Take 220 g flour
- Get 40 g butter
- Get 2 tsp sugar
- Get 1 tsp salt (if butter not salted)
- Make ready 1 tsp baking powder (if flour not self-raising)
- Make ready 100 ml milk
- Take 1 egg
- Get Dry fruit (optional)
Also, I sprinkled brown sugar on top, but these are all personal preferences. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. English scones are not glazed or frosted, and they are generally spilt open and spread with butter, but sometimes also with clotted cream and jam (yes please!). Our scones tend to be richer and more cake-like, usually made with egg and with heavy cream or buttermilk.
Instructions to make Scones:
- Preheat the oven to 230 C.
- Mix all dry ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, salt, and baking powder (if using)). Chop the butter into small cubes, and rub in with your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- Pour the milk into a mixing jar, and crack the egg in. Mix with a whisk until it's a smooth consistency.
- Pour most of the wet mixture in to the dry mixture (retaining some for glazing), and mix with a fork or spoon until it comes together. Most of the mixing can be done without your hands, so this recipe is relatively clean!
- Flour a dry surface lightly, and knead the dough lightly and for a short time just to bring together. This is where you'd add in the dry fruit (if using). I don't have any scone cutters, so I form the scone shape by hand. Divide the dough into four roughly equal quarters, and roll each in your hand until they form into a small sphere.
- Place the small spheres onto baking paper, and squash down with the palm of your hand a little bit. Using the left over milk/egg mixture, glaze the top of the top of these.
- When the oven is hot enough, cook for about 12/13 mins, or until the colour of the scones looks right. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins, cut in half, liberally apply your favourite toppings, and enjoy with a cup of tea!
Scones are not the blobs of cheap bread dough shaped in a triangle and liberally dosed with sugar that Americans think they are (present recipe excluded, of course). And for those who complained about the crumbly dough, ummmmmm, crumbly dough makes crumbly scones. Scones are as quintessentially British as the Queen, Coronation Street, tutting and the Hollywood Handshake. Whether you slather yours in clotted cream, or dollop strawberry jam on first, this. A scone (/ s k ɒ n / or / s k oʊ n /) is a baked good, usually made of wheat, or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent and baked on sheet pans.
