British scone

I have good memory of scone from a restaurant, it is always served warm with strawberry jam. It is only for breakfast time though...

Now I found this recipe, you can eat it for breakfast or tea time or both haha :)

Ingredients (about 45 scones)
6 1/4 cup flour*
pinch of salt
1/4 cup & 2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder

170g cold butter, diced

4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups whole milk

0.5 egg - beaten
Granulated sugar

*healthy version: 1/2 all purpose flour, 1/2 whole wheat flour

Serve with
heavy cream/ butter
strawberry/ raspberry jam


Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 220°c
Line 2 baking sheets on the trays and set aside

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder. 
Make a well in the center, add in butter and rub in with your finger tips, blend the pieces as small as possible.

3. Add the egg & milk into the flour mixture

Note: You may not need 1 3/4cup milk, it depends on the flour you use. You can add 1 cup first, let it mix, then add the rest little by little

4. Place the dough on a lightly floured working surface
Knead lightly and shape the dough into a ball, roll and flatten the dough until it's 1.5" thick
Use a 2" biscuit cutter to cut out the scones, transfer to tray

5. A small bow of 0.5 egg - brush it on the top of each scone
Sprinkle each scone with granulated sugar

Note: be careful not to cover the egg mixture on the edges, which will hinder the rise of scones

6. Bake the scones for 15mins or until the scones become golden brown
When it's done, cool the scones down on a wire rack

Serve warm with heavy cream/butter and strawberry/raspberry jam!

Enjoy!
