Place the uncooked buttermilk scones on a tray lined with baking paper, (spaced well apart) and freeze until solid. Classic plain scone recipe Perhaps the simplest of all baked goods in this entire world, the humble scone surely conjures up fond memories for every Aussie. Gatherings with family and friends, school bake sales, fundraising morning teas at work, a quaint little cafe in the Southern Highlands, or your grandmother's kitchen. Plain, meaning without added fruit, but light, airy and just the right amount of crusty surface makes these scones the perfect backdrop to preserves and clotted cream.
Instructions to make Plain Sweet Scones:
- Sift flour and baking powder in a bowl. Cut butter in chunks and toss in the flour. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until it has a texture like almond powder.
- Mix in the sugar (and anything else like raisins, nuts, cheese, etc. that you might be using).
- Whisk the egg and milk together. Add a little over half to the flour in the bowl and start to mix/cut together with a knife so it starts to form a dough. You want all the little crumbs to be incorporated into the dough. Add only enough of the milk/egg mixture until the crumbs are gone (you usually need more in the winter because the air is dryer). Set the rest of the liquid aside for later as egg wash.
- Knead the dough 2-4 times until you have a round, soft dough. If you have time, let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or even over night (it helps improve texture, but isn't necessary if you're in a hurry).
- On a lightly floured board, press the dough into a round circle with your hands (do not use a roller!) until it's about 2.5 cm thick. Cut out 4-5 scones with a scone cutter or your favourite size. Knead together the remaining dough and cut into another scone if you can.
- Place the cutouts onto a lined baking sheet.
- Brush the surface well with the remaining egg/milk mixture from before. If you didn't have any left over, use a beaten egg.
- Bake in a 180C/350F oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops are shiny and golden brown. Let cool on a rack for a few minutes.
- Done! Serve with butter, jam, cream, etc.
I've made them twice in the last twenty four hours, and got rave reviews each time. I added vanilla and two teaspoons cinnamon, because cinnamon rocks, and some walnuts. They are perfect either plain or with your favorite add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or fresh berries. Scones do not have to be sweet to be easy and delicious. These cheese and garlic scones are a six-ingredient miracle.
