Ingredients for Scones:
All-Purpose flour - 3 1/2 cups
Baking powder - 5 tsp.
Salt - a pinch
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Salted butter - 1 stick (cold)
Egg - 1
Double cream - 2 oz.
Whole milk - 7 oz.
Method of preparing the Scones:
Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Work the butter in with your
hands until texture is crumbly.
Mix the egg with the milk and cream and pour into flour mix.
Combine
until a dough forms and transfer onto a floured surface.
Knead until smooth and pat until 1 inch thick.
Cut out scones. There
will be about 12 of them.
Arrange on a baking dish and preheat oven to 350°F (18O°C).
You can
drizzle with some milk before baking for 35 minutes.
Enjoy with Irish butter, jam and freshly whipped cream.
Scones are
best eaten the day they are baked but the next day you can pop them back
in the oven to freshen them up again.
Tip:
Scones also work great with savory fillings or on the side to a classic
English breakfast.
