These are easy-to-make eggless scones. Adding sugar is an option. Add cheese or herbs to the batter to make savoury scones. Or, add orange or lemon zest; dried raisins, dried blueberries, currants, dried cranberries, or other dried fruit, that have been plumped in hot water and drained. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
3 tablespoons sugar (optional) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Whisk, or sift the dry ingredients.
2. Cut the butter into the flour, with a pastry blender, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the milk. Add any optional ingredients, if desired.
4. On a floured surface, lightly knead the dough 5-10 times.
5. Place on a greased, or parchment lined, baking sheet. Flatten gently to a 1 thick round.
6. Cut, like a pie, into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
7. Brush the top with about 1 tablespoon milk. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
8. Bake 400 degrees, 12 -15 minutes, until golden brown.
