Plain Scones
- 200 grams White flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 30 grams Sugar
- 40 grams Butter (unsalted preferred)
- 30 ml + 1 Milk and eggs
- Measure out the floury ingredients.
- Mix the milk and eggs together.
- Cut the butter into 1cm cubes.
- If the room temperature is high, put it in the fridge.
- Mix the floury ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the butter and mix the dough by hand until it becomes crumbly.
- Add the milk and egg mixture.
- Mix by fork or by hand.
- Add more milk if the dough is too dry.
- If you add to much milk, add some more flour.
- Bring it together like this.
- It shouldn't feel watery when you touch it.
- Start to preheat the oven to 180C now.
- Dust a board with flour, cut the dough into four pieces with a knife, then bring together each piece individually.
- Push and cut by hand or with a rolling pin as many times as you like.
- About 2 or 3 times will do.
- Next, roll out the dough to a 1.5 cm thickness.
- You can do this by hand if you don't have a rolling pin.
- I used a cheap round cutter, but you can use a square or triangle one if you like.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 180C.
- Leave some of the milk and egg mixture and brush it on the surface of the scones with a spoon for the glaze.
- I just bake until I see the scones change to a golden color.
