While I still have to work tomorrow, it is a SUNDAY and I am determined to have some good fun! I am planning a picnic but forgot that supermarket closes at 6pm today so I couldn't get much ingredients for sandwiches and most importantly, my SCONES.
So, I googled some recipes and found this: http://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/basic-scones
It was a nice and easy recipe and since I have all the ingredients at home already, I set about making my scones. I basically halved everything in the recipe and instead of rolling the dough, I just took bits by hand and roll them with hands (so pro amateaur right). All you need is,
225g of self-raising flour (roughly 1.5 cups)
55g of caster sugar
40g of cold chopped butter
half a cup of milk
Basically just sift the flour and caster sugar, mix them well with hands/spatula. Then you add the chopped butter and mix them with hand until it is bread-crumb like texture. Honestly it didn't feel much like bread-crumb, but we just thought it was well-mixed enough and then went about adding the milk and mixing the mixture with a knife. We also added some sultanas into some of our scones which added that extra texture and sweetness to it. The scones took about 18 mins at 180 degree Celcius. And ta-da!!
Anyway, these scones smell beautiful and I can't wait until tomorrow morning for my picnic! *night*
