I decided to have a domestic day yesterday; a bit of baking, tidying and
running errands. I decided to make some scones as my friends and I are obsessed
with cream teas! I didn’t have any raisins so I made do with plain ones, hoping
that a bit of jam would liven them up.
Ingredients:
225g Plain Flour
2tsp Baking Powder
2tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
30g Caster Sugar
55g Butter
55g Raisin (optional)
150ml Milk
30g Caster Sugar
55g Butter
55g Raisin (optional)
150ml Milk
Method:
1. Preheat
your oven to 200c or 180c if fan assisted. Grease a baking tray.
2. Weigh
your ingredients and mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a large
bowl.
3. Add your
butter, mixing with your fingers so the ingredients become like bread crumbs.
4. Add the
raisins if necessary.
5. Slowly
pour the milk in, a little at a time. Need into a firm dough.
6. Roll out
and cut into the desired shape. Most people choose the traditional circular
scones but I thought I’d rebel and try stars!
7. Place on
the baking tray. Brush the tops with milk (I forgot to do this but I think it
gives a glossy, glazed effect and makes the scone tops a golden brown).
8. Bake for
around 10 minutes.
They came
out really fluffy and delicious! I was pretty pleased for my first attempt!
Unfortunately, as my cookie cutter was quite large I only made 6 so next time
I'll use a smaller star and probably try adding raisins. I would recommend
storing them in a sealed container over night as they had gone slightly hard on
the outside this morning, but they were still bouncy in the middle! Yum!
