Making scones is very simple I learned when my wife and I hosted an English tea. These are light and very tasty. âChuck Hinz, Parma, Ohio Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed |
1 egg |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
jam of your choice, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk until blended; add to crumb mixture just until moistened.
2. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Divide dough in half; pat each portion into a 5-in. circle. Cut each circle into six wedges.
3. Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with jam if desired. Yield: 1 dozen.
