Recipe for scones
This recipe for delicious scones gives you delightful pastries in under 30 minutes.
The secret to good scones is to knead the dough with a very light hand.
Ingredients
- 240 gram Wheat Flour
- 5 gram Salt
- 20 gram Baking Soda
- 80 gram Butter
- 40 gram Sugar
- 150 gram Buttermilk Or regular milk
Instructions
- Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter in a bowl and crumble the butter coarsely.
- Knead the dough together with the buttermilk, it is fine if there are big chunks of butter left in the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently press the dough out to a thickness of 1 1/2 - 2 cm in height.
- Cut out your scones with a cutter about 5 cm in diameter.
- The excess dough should be briefly kneaded together again, and the dough pressed out and scones cut out until there is no more dough left. I got 10 scones from my batch.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan-forced) for 10-15 minutes.
- Let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- They taste amazing with lemon curd and cream
