KFC's Biscuit Scones
- 130 grams Cake flour
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 20 grams Cornstarch (or potato starch or cake flour)
- 2 pinch Salt
- 2 tbsp Raw cane sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking powder (aluminium-free)
- 60 grams Cold butter (or trans fat-free shortening. Shortening is easier to handle since it won't make the dough too soft)
- 120 ml Cold soy milk, milk or yogurt
- Put the dry ingredients into a bowl, and mix together with a whisk.
- Put butter on top and coat with the dry ingredients.
- Holding your whisk vertically, tap it up and down to cut up the butter and to crumble the butter-flour mixture.
- Be careful not to knead!
- When the butter bits are crumbly, add milk and mix with a spatula, being careful not to knead.
- I used whole wheat flour here.
- When the dough has become more or less cohesive, stop mixing.
- Press with your hands into a lump of dough.
- Even if it starts out crumbly, it will come together as you fold.
- If you have time, wrap the dough in plastic film and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- You could also skip this step.
- Press the dough flat with your palms or a rolling pin, and dust the top lightly with flour.
- Fold the dough in half, then press flat again.
- Repeat the fold-and-press 2 to 3 times.
- There's no need to roll it out carefully as you would with cookies.
- Finally, roll the dough out with a rolling pin 2 cm thick.
- Cut the dough out with a cup.
- Bake in a preheated 200 C (392 F) oven for 15 to 20 minutes and they're done.
- If you look at the bottom of the scones and they are a nice golden brown, they are done.
- Enjoy with plenty of maple syrup.
- To make in a food processor: Freeze the butter, put in the food processor with the ingredients, and pulse to chop up the butter.
- Process briefly until the butter bits are about the size of rice grains and the flour is a little grainy.
- Add cold soy milk, and pulse again.
- When the flour starts to clump, process briefly again, and stop as soon as a dough ball is formed.
- Transfer to a plastic bag.
- Procede from Step 7.
