Scones
- 200 grams A. Cake flour
- 50 grams A. Bread (strong) flour
- 35 grams A. Sugar
- 1/3 tsp A. Salt
- 1 tbsp A. Baking powder
- 50 grams A. Butter
- 50 grams B. Milk
- 110 grams total B. Egg (1) + yogurt
- 1 Milk (to glaze the scones)
- Put all the A. ingredients in a food processor, and process for about 20 seconds until sandy in texture.
- If you don't have a food processor, put the A. ingredients and the butter in a bowl, and mix together with your fingers while mashing the butter until the mixture is sandy.
- Work quickly so that the butter doesn't melt.
- Transfer the combined butter and flour to a bowl, add the B. ingredients and fold together.
- Work quickly, scooping up from the bottom.
- Be careful not the knead the dough.
- When the dough has more or less come together as shown in the photo it's good.
- It will still be floury in spots.
- Take the dough out onto a floured work surface, and bring it together with your hands.
- Use the flour to flatten the dough out and fold it into thirds, 3 times.
- I flatten the dough with my hands, cut it into thirds with a knife and stack the cut pieces.
- Repeat 3 times.
- See the photos for steps 6 and 7.
- Roll the dough 2.5cm thick, and cut it out.
- If you don't want to bother with a cutter, just cut the dough into pieces with a knife.
- If the cut sides are neat, the scones will rise neatly too.
- Brush the tops with milk.
- Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Done.
- I love splitting scones.
- They are not that sweet, so please enjoy topped with whatever you like.
