This morning when I browsing through my Facebook and I saw people posting scones. That's give me an idea of what to bake this weekend.
Using the recipes from the person (who I forgotten your name) to bake this batch of scone.
Ingredients
250g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
75g chilled butter (take out from freezer and put it outside to soften it)
2 tablespoon brown sugar (much more healthy)
100ml milk
Pinch of salt
1 egg for egg wash.
Things that I used
Mixing bowl
Silicon mat
Silicon bag
Direction
Shieve the flour and baking powder into a big mixing bowl.
Add in the butter , salt and sugar. Using your fingers to break the butter into small pieces.
Starts to mix the flour mix and butter together until you get breadcrumbs lookalike.
Add in milk and mixed them using wooden spoon.
Now you can place all into the silicon bag. (Well it is my first time using it. I find them quite useful especially I do not have big working area for baking. )
Knead the dough but not too much (I did about 10 knead)
Add dried fruit into the bag (I added raisins) and mixed well. I sprinkled some flour into the bag and place the whole thing into the fridge.
Wait for 15 mins (I waited 20 mins as I forget to set timer). Set your oven to 220 degree.
Dust the silicon mat with flour. Roll the dough to the thickness you want. I am more lazy so I use my cookie cutter to judge the thickness.
Point to take note for beginners that use cookies cutter. Coat your cutter with flour so it will not cause the dough to stick on your cutter.
Place the shaped scones onto a baking sheet. Apply egg wash on top (this step I learn from another recipe).
Put them into the oven and bake for 10 mins. Ready to serve hot with jam.
Enjoy your simple high tea.
