Delightfully buttery and extra flaky, these cream Scones hail from Scotland, but the modern rendition of a classic scone is vastly different to those. British scones are small nibbles that are fairly plain on their own, but are classically eaten with jam and Doing this creates a fine, sandy consistency that helps give the scones their classic texture. Making a well in the middle of the dry scone mix, slowly pour in the milk before stirring well. Twists are fun but sometimes it's nice to stick to to the classics.
Steps to make Classic Scones:
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
- Tip the 350g self-raising flour into a large bowl with 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp baking powder then mix.
- Add 85g butter cubes, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs.then stir in 3tbs custer sugar.
- Put 175ml milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot.
- Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice, then set aside for a moment.
- Put a baking sheet in the oven.
- Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife – it will seem pretty wet at first.
- Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it’s a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep.
- Take a 5cm cutter(smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what’s left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully place onto the hot baking tray
- Bake for 15 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream.
- If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/fan140C/gas 3) for a few mins to refresh.
