Scones are a traditional baking dish of British cuisine. There are a lot of different options for making these buns. They can be sweet, or they can be diners. As a filling add raisins, cinnamon, poppy seeds, berries or cheese.
I want to offer you an option for making sweet raisin scones from two types of flour.
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour – 250 grams
- Whole wheat flour – 150 grams
- Milk – 250ml
- Butter – 100 g.
- Sugar – 80 grams
- Raisins – 200 grams.
- Baking powder – 15 grams
- Vanillin – pinch
Cooking process
1 Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the baking powder to the flour and stir. Also add softened butter. And let’s move on to rubbing the butter into the flour. Do this until the whole mixture turns into small crumbs
Add sugar, raisins and vanilla to the resulting mass. Mix everything well. In addition to raisins can be added and nuts.
All that’s left is to add the milk, and knead the dough.
2 The resulting dough is spread on the surface, sprinkled with flour. Roll out the dough into a layer. Fold the resulting layer in half and slightly flatten. Then fold the dough again and again lightly level. And for the last time fold in half and give it the shape of a rectangle. Thus, we made the original layer multi-layered.
Remove the finished dough in a cool place for 15 minutes.
3 After the right time has passed, we proceed to forming the buns. To do this, roll out the dough into a layer 2-3 cm thick. Cut it into squares 5 * 5 cm in size. You can also make scones and round.
The resulting buns are laid out on a baking tray, covered with parchment paper. I use a silicone mat instead of paper. We grease the future scones with an egg. Put the baking tray in a preheated oven to 200 degrees. Bake the skons for 20 minutes. At the same time, they should brown well.
Ready-made raisin scones are served for tea or coffee.
In the classic British version, scones are served with stoked cream and strawberry jam. I want to offer you an easier option – replace the cream with ricotta. You can choose any jam to your liking.
