Scones

A perfect scone creates an appetizing atmosphere be it on a sunny or rainy afternoon. It is normally served with Tea, but my preference is coffee.  Freshly baked scones which are still warm with a generous spread of Strawberry Preserved and a slice of butter which slowly melts and spread over the warm scones is really heavenly.  I am trying out this delicious recipe from MiMi Bakery House and here's to share....

Ingredients:

180g plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

Pinch of baking soda

1 tsp sugar

55g salted butter (cold)

120g milk

Methods:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients into a big mixing bowl.
2. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add into the dry ingredients.  Rub the butter with fingertips until fine crumbs.
3. Make a well in the center of the mixture, add milk, use a fork to mix the ingredients until well incorporated.
4. Remove from the mixing bowl and knead into a soft dough.
5. Roll out the dough to about 2 cm thick, using a 5 cm round cutter cut out the biscuits, brush the top with milk.
6. Bake in a preheated oven of 200 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes until you get a golden brown top.
