Scones



Scones

This would be my first recipe post to my humble beginning of this blog. It brings back memories of the time when I was heart broken & my cousin came to cheer me up with a basket of goodies to bake with me. I went along well, and had fun too! It was my first time making scones, and still haven't attempted the second time.

She brought along some ingredients for Baked Rice in case I get hungry or bored while baking.

Ingredients :

260gm flour (2 cups)

50gm sugar (1/2 cup)

1 tsp baking powder / 2 tsp

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

16 gm cold butter (1/2 cup)

160 - 180ml buttermilk (2/3 - 2/4 cup)

1 tsp vanilla

Method :

Preheat oven at 200°c

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt.

Cut butter, pinch into flour mixture.

Mixture should look like coarse crumbs.

Add butter milk & vanilla, then stir until dough comes together.

Knead dough on floured surface gently.

Divide dough into 2 parts, roll. 

Measure & mark rolled dough at equal size, about 2.5cm. 

Cut dough & roughly shape it round then gently press to flatten top & bottom. 

Brush top of dough with little bit of milk.

Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Serve with Butter / Jam.

**We made Strawberry Tea to go with it.

Mark equal portion on rolled dough to cut.



Flatten top and bottom of cut portion

 

Expanded half way through & sticking together.

Never mind if they are sticking together. You can cut them apart later, just make sure to roll a smaller dough next time, or place them further apart. 

It was easy and yummy! Credit to my dear cousin. God Bless! :)
