English Scones

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   I recently tried this sweet pastry for the first time, which I liked. I am sharing with you a recipe from which you will learn how to bake English scones in a very simple, understandable and affordable way at home. To do this, we will need the products that I specified in the ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the dough. Sift the flour, add cold butter and grind into crumbs. Add baking powder and sugar. If you like sweeter, then the amount of sugar can be slightly increased, since they do not turn out very sweet.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix everything.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add dried fruits (I took raisins, but if you take dried apricots or dates, then they will need to be crushed beforehand), mix.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now adding cream and milk alternately.

7. Step 6:

   

   Knead the dough, but do not knead, but do it a little differently. We spread the dough on the table, press it with our hands, fold it in half - press it, fold it in half again - press it. Sprinkle the dough with flour on both sides, put it in a bag and send it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   We press the cooled dough a little with our hands or roll it out with a rolling pin (about 3 cm thick) and cut it arbitrarily.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the pieces on a baking sheet. Beat the egg lightly and lubricate the scones once, after 2 minutes again.

10. Step 9:

    

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for about 20 minutes. Our scones are ready, let them cool down a little and serve them to the table. Enjoy your meal!
