Hi everyone, today I have wanted to share with you one of the best things from Ireland I have discovered which is "The Scones"! If you like baking or you want to discover nice baking recipes just check down below and you would be mesmerized!
Time
20 minutes for 6 to 8 scones
Ingredients
8 oz. Flour Self-Rising
Vanilla Extract
2 oz. Butter
1 oz. Custard Sugar
1 ordinary egg or 2 small eggs
150 ml milk
The recipe
In a bowl, put 8oz. of flour self-rising sifted and a tea spoon of baking powder sifted, mix them and make it light.
Then put 2 oz. of butter cold for the fridge (it won’t get sticky as if it was with soft butter), chopped in cubes.
Keep very light (we want lots of air in the flour), finger tips to squash the butter: make it as little plates lets, broke the butter in small pieces.
1 oz. of custard sugar, mix it and keep light and nice. Then add 1 drop of vanilla extract, mix that around.
Then you have to get about a 100 ml of cold milk and mix with an ordinary egg or two small eggs: bit in the milk and get lots of bubbles.
Do with a palate knife to keep it cold to mix 50 ml of the Milk-Egg(s) mix: just enough milk to make it a ball. (using a palate knife is better than using your hands which are already warm and would make it sticky).
Add cherries (my Irish father’s favourite).
For the last steps: Bring it together then put it on a flour surface (not rolling it!). Get ½ an inch thick.
With a pastured caters put in flour to do not get stick each time: make 6 to 8 scones.
With the rest of the milk-egg(s) mix, brush it on to give colours to the scones.
Then put in the oven turned at 220°C for 12 minutes.
