We are all in the same boat so I am sharing some tried & tested recipes I use at home. I have also used this recipe with my student who does food technology with me & it was successful.
My regulars will see more of my patriotic tea towel in the coming days ...
Scones are quick & easy to make - this is the ingredients needed in a pictorial image
- 250g self-raising flour (1 cup)
- 1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
- 40g softened butter
- 25g caster sugar (I left this out)
- 1 large egg
- about 100ml milk
- Optional - grated cheese & a little mustard powder
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan oven)
Put the flour & baking powder in a large bowl. Add the butter & rub it in with fingertips till it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar (if using)
Beat the egg in a measuring jug & top up with milk to about 100ml of liquid. Keep a small amount aside for brushing on the top.
Add the egg & milk mix to the dry ingredients & stir until you have a sticky dough.
Turn the mixture on to a lightly floured surface & pat out to about 2cm thick.
I halved mine in two parts & added the cheese & mustard to half a mix & gently mixed it in.
Turn on to a floured board, pat to about 2cm then cut out using a scone cutter.
I use silicon baking sheets (from Ikea) as they come off without sticking. Brush the tops with the egg / milk mix you saved so they brown.
Bake at 200C for about 8-10 min, then cool on a wire rack.
You have to use proper butter with scones; I served mine with jam & additional grated cheese
I hope all of us who are in self isolation / lockdown stay safe, adjust your thinking to realise this downtime is so valuable so rest, relax, rejuvenate
