basic scone

This is my first time sharing recipes with others, hope that it will turn out great! :-)

Here i wanna share a recipe that i made with my student today for his bf birthday.  oh fyi, I'm actually a baker and sometimes I conduct classes.Okay anyway, here are the recipe. I never made scone until someone request for a class but hey it turn out perfectly awesome! lovin it...

Basic Scone Recipe : 

Plain flour, for dusting

3 cups self -raising flour

80g butter, cubed

1 1/4 cups milk

Jam & whipped cream to serve


Method : 


1. Preheat oven to 200*c. Lighty dust a flat baking tray with plain flour. Sift self- raising flour into a bowl.

2. Using your fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resemble breadcrumb.


3. Make a well in the center. Add 1 cup milk, mix with a flat- bladed knife until mixture form  a soft dough, adding more milk if required. Turn into a lightly floured surface, knead gently until smooth ( dont knead too much or the scone will be tough).


4.  Put dough into a 2cm thick round,using a 5cm round cutter and cut out 12 round. Press dough together and cut remaining 4 rounds. Place doughs onto prepared baking tray. 1cm apart, sprinkle tops with a little plain flour. Bake for about 10 - 15 mins or until golden and well risen. Transfer to a wire rack, serve warm with jam and cream. 



P.S : when i conduct the classes, i allow them to create their own shape. So, its not a problem if you want something diff instead of round :-)
