I love scones!
Do you? If you do, this recipe is for you, it's so very easy to make!
Often you find when you go to the shops, some scones are very dough-y, some are flour-y while some are just plain dense and dry.
These scones on the other hand are light and fluffy, crumbly but still holds it's shape at the same time.
Try it and tell me what you think.
This recipe was adapted from Joythebaker.
All you need:
(makes about 12 scones)
3 cups
all-purpose flour
2 1/2
teaspoons baking powder
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
2 pinches
of sea salt flakes
3/4 cup
cold unsalted butter, but into small cubes (170g)
1 large
egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons
pure maple syrup
3/4 cup
cold buttermilk
5
tablespoons of milk to brush the top of the scones before baking + sprinkled
with some sugar
All you need to do:
1- Preheat
oven to 200 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set
aside.
2 - In
a mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3 - Cut
in butter (using your fingers or a pastry cutter) until mixture resembles a
coarse meal. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until some of the
butter flakes.
4 - In
a separate bowl, combine egg, maple syrup, and milk and beat lightly.
5 - Add
mixture to dry ingredients, mix with wooden spoon until just combined.
6 - Turn
out onto a floured board and knead until dough just comes together.
7 - Roll
or pat out into a 1-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds using a round
cutter. Reshape and roll dough to create
more scones with excess scraps.
8 - Place
scones on baking sheet. Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
9 - Bake
for 18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm with jam.
* Scones
are best served on the same day they are made
* Extra
baked scones can be frozen and reheated in the oven (about 5-8 minutes on 200
degrees C)
Happy baking! :)
