Here a link to the Perfect Scone
Link The recipe for the best scones ever:
(makes 6 big ones)
- 225 g self-raising flour
- a pinch of salt
- 40 g granulated sugar
- 50 g cold butter, cut up in little pieces
- 75 g raisins (or other dried fruit)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 Tbsp milk
1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, sift the self-raising flour with the pinch of salt, and add in the sugar.
3. Add the butter and crumble this, using your fingertips, through the flour until you have a fine texture, looking a little like rough breadcrumbs.
4. Mix in the raisins and stir in the egg and the milk. The dough will now be very quickly ready. Knead it a couple of times, but don’t overwork it. The dough should now feel soft and can easily be formed into a ball.
5. Divide the dough into 6 round little balls, flat the top and shape them so they’ll be about 2 cm high and have a diameter of 7 cm.
6. Brush them with a little milk/egg yolk (doesn’t matter which) and bake them for 10 minutes.
7. They don’t have their beautiful colour yet, so turn on the broiler for 3 minutes.
8. Now they are perfect. The bottom and outside are golden brown and the inside fluffy and delicious. They can be stored at room temperature for a few days or you can freeze them, but best to eat immediately.
I hope you’ll try them, and agree with me…let me know!
