Hello everybody, it is me again, Dan, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, scones. One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I’m gonna make it a 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. These scones are fantastic, and they're so easy to make. I've made them twice in the last twenty four hours, and got rave reviews each time.
Scones is one of the most popular of current trending foods in the world. It is appreciated by millions every day. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. They’re nice and they look fantastic. Scones is something that I have loved my whole life.
To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook scones using 6 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Scones:
- Make ready 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Take 1/2 tsp salt
- Take 2 tsp baking powder
- Get 4 tbsp butter
- Prepare 2 tbsp sugar
- Prepare 1 cup milk
Don't try to double this recipe. 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:
- Heat oven to 425°F
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingers until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir in using a spatula to form a soft dough.
- Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and lightly flatten the dough until it is of an even thickness, about half inch. Don't be heavy handed. Scones need a light touch.
- Cut out the scones using a 2 and a half inch cookie cutter and place on a cookie sheet
- Glaze with a little milk and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden and will risen. Cool on a wire rack and serve freshly baked with strawberry preserves and whipped heavy cream.
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. Currant scones, sometimes slathered with clotted cream or topped with butter and fruit jam, are a very classic, British way to enjoy this baked treat.
