Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sifted self-raising flour and salt, then stir in the caster sugar.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Keeping the butter very cold is crucial for a flaky texture.
4
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Aproximativ 3 min.
5
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk for the scones.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
Use a dinner knife to quickly combine the ingredients into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using a knife prevents overworking the dough, which keeps the scones light.
7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it very gently just two or three times until it comes together.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Pat the dough out to an even thickness of about 2cm.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Avoid using a rolling pin if you can, as patting by hand is gentler on the dough.
9
Use a 5cm round cutter to stamp out the scones. Push the cutter straight down without twisting.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Twisting the cutter can seal the edges and prevent the scones from rising evenly.
10
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Aproximativ 1 min.
11
Gently bring the dough scraps together, re-pat, and cut out more scones until all the dough is used.
Aproximativ 1 min.
12
In a small bowl, combine the beaten egg with the milk for the egg wash.
Aproximativ 1 min.
13
Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash, being careful not to let it drip down the sides.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Drips can glue the scone to the tray and inhibit its rise.
14
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the scones are well-risen and golden brown.
Aproximativ 15 min.
15
Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Aproximativ 5 min.
16
Serve the scones warm with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
