English scones

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   I recently tried this sweet pastry for the first time, which I liked. I am sharing with you a recipe from which you will learn how to bake English scones in a very simple, understandable and affordable way at home. For this we need the products that I indicated in the ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the dough. Sift the flour, add cold butter and grind into crumbs. Add baking powder and sugar. If you like them sweeter, you can increase the amount of sugar a little, as they are not very sweet.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add dried fruits (I used raisins, but if you use dried apricots or dates, you will need to chop them first), mix.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now add cream and milk alternately.

6. STEP 6

   

   We knead the dough, but don’t knead it, but do it a little differently. Place the dough on the table, press it down with your hands, fold it in half - press it down, fold it in half again - press it down. Sprinkle the dough with flour on both sides, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Press the cooled dough down a little with your hands or roll it out with a rolling pin (about 3 cm thick) and cut it randomly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Transfer the pieces to a baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg and brush the scones once, then again after 2 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for about 20 minutes. Our scones are ready, let them cool a little and serve. Bon appetit!

Irisha, of course, will like it, but how could it be otherwise, it looks like the dough will turn out a little flaky, since it needs to be folded several times, and this is already a big plus, it’s good that it’s not too sweet, you can eat it with sweet tea and butter. and with jam. I liked the recipe very much! Irisha, look at the recipe again, it seems you forgot to write dried fruits...

Shura, I’m very glad that you liked the recipe:) the dough is not quite flaky, it’s more reminiscent of sandy yeast, especially when they’re still warm, there’s a crispy crust on top, and a soft crumbly crumb inside, and the recipe says raisins, although I wrote dried fruits, but after moderation it turned out to be raisins
