Scones

The original recipe was adapted from Mary Berry so I am assuming that these are english scones. To make it sound healthier, I have added some fruits, flaxseed and even wholemeal in my version of scones. I guess you are more willing to eat them with clotted cream and jam now...hehe...

Yummy

Ingredients

- 200g self-raising flour
- 50g ground flaxseed
- 1 rounded tsp baking powder
- 40g cold butter
- 25g sugar
- 1 large egg
- Less than 100mls of milk


Method

1) Mix together flour, ground flaxseed and baking powder.

2) Rub the butter into flour till it resembles bread crumbs, stir in sugar and set aside.

3) Whisk one egg and add milk to make 100mls, keep 1 tbsp as egg wash.

4) Mix milk mixture to flour and mix well.

5) Roll out gently and cut into desired shape and size.

6) Egg wash and bake at 200 degree celsius for 10-12 minutes.


Note:
Do not over knead else it will turn into bread.
Do not twist when cutting else the sides will not rise evenly.
Do not let egg wash drip on the sides.

Scones are ready! Where are my high-tea buddies???!!!
