🫓☕️ Classic Scones ☕️🫓

I use strong white bread flour in my scones which might seem surprising,

Ingredient

Food ration :

makes 12-13 servings

Cooking time :

15min

500 g

strong white bread flour, plus extra to dust

5 tsp

unsalted cold butter, cut into pieces

large egg, beaten with a pinch of salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together. Add the cold butter and rub together with your fingers for a few minutes until you have a breadcrumb-like texture.

* Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and sugar. Add to the rubbed-in mixture and stir together until the mixture comes together and forms a ball. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over a few times to incorporate air, but do not knead it; you want to achieve a loose, soft dough.

* Step 3

Using a scone cutter, about 6.5cm in diameter, and pressing firmly (without twisting the cutter), cut out rounds and place on the lined baking trays, leaving space in between. Brush the tops of the scones with beaten egg then place in the fridge for 20 minutes to rest.

* Step 4

Meanwhile, heat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7.

* Step 5

Transfer the scones to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve with a generous helping of jam and clotted cream or butter.
