Classic Scones

22 April 2015 by Alan Brewer Leave a Comment

Classic-Scone-6

These scones are delightfully soft and fluffy centered with enough sweetness they make a great afternoon teacake. Fill these with jam and cream and you will want to lock the door, grab a cup of tea and sit down to catch up with your favourite soaps.

Classic-Scone-2

The test is, do you make 2, 3 or unconsciously prepare all 12 that you devour using your fore finger to push the jam and cream back into your mouth as not to miss any of this traditional goodness.

Classic-Scone-3

Should you feel guilty for this, never, as no one would ever know as these are so easy and quick to make you could have another batch in the oven ready for when your friends come over.

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Total Time 25 mins
Servings 12 scones

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g self-raising flour plus dusting
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 85 g Butter cut into cubes
  • 3 tbsp. caster sugar
  • 175 ml milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 egg beaten for the glaze

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC, put the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles a sand texture and then stir in the sugar.
  • Heat the milk until luke warm and not hot (This is too allow the milk to react with the lemon to recreate a buttermilk type effect). Make a well in the flour mix and then add the vanilla and lemon to the milk, stir then add to the flour mix.
  • Combine the ingredients with a dinner knife until just mixed. Dust a work surface with flour and then tip out the scone mix onto the flour. Knead gently until binded and relatively smooth.
  • Roll out the mix until it’s about 2-3 cm thick. Using a 5 cm cutter (I used a fluted cutter. A smooth cutter is preferred but not essential) dip in four and cut out as many scones as you can. Bind the scone mix and cut as many as possible again. At this point you may need to bind th last attempt and have a rough shaped scone. Re-working the dough over and over will prevent the rise and make these scones a little tough.
  • Brush the scones with the egg and then place onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. They will be cooked when golden brown. These are best served warm. They can be frozen but should be cooled completely and frozen straight away.

Slow Cooker Lamb Stew & Dumplings

This was delicious, simple and so good to just leave while you work away doing what you do. This dinner allowed me to do a few jobs around the house as I spend some time off during the kids half term.
