How to make the lightest scones ever! It was so much fun last weekend demonstrating to a lovely group of people how to make the lightest fruit scones and delicious blueberry financiers.
You can check out my Traditional English In-Person Baking Demonstrations and Afternoon Tea events here chezbeccy.com/collections/bak...
These scones are so beautiful and light, perfect for afternoon tea served with Mrs Darlington's Extra Strawberry Jam and Rhoddas Clotted Cream.
Use a 6cm or 2.5 inch round cutter.
Makes 12
INGREDIENTS
500g plain flour
A pinch of salt
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
75g cold unsalted butter, diced
300 ml milk
1 large egg, beaten
OPTIONAL
75g raisins or sultanas for fruit scones
75g cheddar cheese for cheese scones
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/gas mark 7/450°F.
Sift the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar into a bowl.
Rub in the cold diced unsalted butter. Add cheese or dried fruit now, if you choose to.
Add the milk all at the same time and mix lightly.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. The key to lights scones is to work the dough as little as possible.
Roll out to about 3cms. Dip the cutter into the bag of flour and cut out about 10-12 scones.
Place on a greased baking tray, near each other so as they rise in the oven they will touch.
Brush with the beaten egg and cook for 10 minutes or until risen and golden.
Serve warm, with Mrs Darlington's Extra Strawberry Jam and Roddas Clotted Cream.
