I have shared this elsewhere, but thought to put it here too :) This scone recipe is one I developed after a long hunt for a specific recipe, I could not find what I was looking for, (and one night, lacking certain ingredients for some of the different recipes out there, I decided to flub my way through to cure an awful scone craving) I often use the "grandmothers" method in my baking, sometimes the dough is too wet, it needs more flour, Sometimes it needs a little more milk, use your best judgment :)
Ingredients
- 2c. flour shopping list
- 1/4 c. sugar shopping list
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon* shopping list
- 1/2 c. toasted hazelnuts** shopping list
- 5 tsp. butter, cold shopping list
- 1/2 c. milk shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 425 F, Combine Dry ingredients and mix until blended.
- Cut in butter until it looks like little peas, Stir in hazelnuts.
- Beat eggs in a small cup, add milk and beat again till well blended.
- Stir in until doughy and turn out onto floured surface when it appears able to be handled well.
- Knead just until the dough becomes soft, do not over knead or scones will be kind of tough.
- Roll dough into a ball, and flatten out till its about an inch thick, Place either into a cake pan, or onto a cookie sheet, cutting the rounded dough into 8 wedges, and bake for 10-12 minutes.*** or until a butter knife or toothpick comes out clean.
- NOTE: Scones should have a biscuit type of texture, kind of dry.
- This recipe should come out slightly sweet, but not TOO sweet. *I never follow the 1/4 tsp. rule with cinnamon, I'm a cinnamon freak, and just sift until it looks like there is enough :)
- ** Other nuts may be used, I cant recommend using peanuts though, and walnuts might work, but don't usually hold up for texture.
- ***Cooking times may vary due to oven/altitude yadda yadda yadda....
