Starbucks Style Quick Honey Nut Scones
- 200 grams Pancake mix (homemade with flour = ID: 1637718. Store-bought mix is okay, too)
- 50 grams Chilled butter (or trans-fat free shortening)
- 100 ml Chilled soy milk (or yogurt)
- 1 handful ~ as much as you want Honey roasted peanuts
- 1 handful ~ as much as you want Chocolate or caramel, walnuts etc. choose your favorite chunky filling
- I use the honey flavored roasted peanuts sold in stores like Kaldi.
- Add the homemade hotcake mix ingredients (or the store bought mix) to a bowl.
- Place the butter on top.
- Cover the butter with flour from the edges to form a flour membrane.
- Hold the whisk vertically and repeatedly stab the butter to cut it up.
- It will form little balls like minced meat.
- Be careful not to knead it in!
- When the butter has formed little balls of dough, add the nuts and roughly stir them in.
- Add the milk and cut it in without kneading.
- When the flour has almost been completely blended in, stop mixing right away and use your hands to bring it together in one lump.
- It's okay to strongly bring it together!
- If you have the time, cover it in plastic wrap and let it chill for 15 minutes.
- Use a rolling pin (or your palm) over the wrap to flatten and stretch it out.
- Dust with a light layer of flour.
- Fold the dough in half and push to stretch it out again.
- Fold it in half again and repeat 3 times.
- (You don't need to be gentle while stretching it out like when you're making cookies)
- Roll it out with a rolling pin into a 3-4 cm thick oblong shape, as seen in the picture.
- Divide it into halves from the center of the dough.
- Next, divide the halves into diagonal halves to form triangles.
- From this size, you can get 4 scones.
- You can change the size if you want to make 8 scones.
- Cut off the top, bottom, and both sides.
- Combine them into one clump to make one more scone for tasting.
- Cutting off the sides lets the dough crack easily while baking.
- Preheat an oven to 200C and then lower it to 180C and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- If making 8 smaller scones, bake for 15 minutes.
- Once the bottom of the scones have turned golden brown, they are finished.
