Scones Recipe -This Is How The British Classic Works

Recipe for scones: the ingredients at a glance

You don’t need any fancy ingredients for the scones. As a rule, you should already have everything at home. The following recipe makes 15 to 20 scones, depending on size.

• 500 grams of flour
• 130 grams of sugar
• 130 grams of butter
• 2 packets of baking powder
• 1 egg yolk
• 150 milliliters of milk

Instructions: Bake your own scones

1. Put the flour, sugar, butter, and baking powder together in a bowl and mix the dough with the dough hook.
2. After a short while, add the milk and knead the dough well.
3. Flour the work surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 cm.
4. Cut out the scones and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The original is always round.
5. Mix the egg yolks with a small dash of milk and brush the mixture over the scones.
6. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees top/bottom heat or 175 degrees convection and leave the pastries in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
7. Let the scones cool down and serve them with tea with some jam or clotted cream.
8. Note: Clotted Cream is reduced and therefore very greasy whipped cream. The production is relatively complex and takes several hours. However, you can easily buy them online.
