How to make English Scones Recipe?
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
- Sieve plain flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cut the chilled butter into cubes and add it to the bowl.
- Rub the butter in with your fingertips till it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix well.
- In a measuring jug, mix cold milk, curd and vanilla essence /extract.
- Using a butter knife, mix the flour mixture while adding the milk slowly. You will not need all of the milk - the dough needs to be slightly sticky but soft. Do not knead.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and place the dough. Flatten the dough with your palms roughly keeping the dough about an inch thick.
- Use a 5 cm round cutter and cut out scones. Place them on a greased baking tray. Reuse the leftover dough to make the remaining scones. You should have 12.
- Brush the leftover milk over the scones which will give them a glossy finish.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes till golden brown. Serve warm with jam and cream.
