Homemade Scones, what a treat, something special especially for the family. Try this recipe from one of my ultimate Food Hero's Chef Kyle Norris from the Beverly Hills Hotel in Umhlanga in Durban.
Ingredients:
560 g cake flour
30 ml baking powder
5 ml salt
250 g butter, softened
3 free-range eggs
200 ml buttermilk
Cooking instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
Rub in the butter using your fingertips (do not let the butter become warm or you will end up with hard, flat scones), until the mixture resembles the texture of coarse crumbs.
Beat together the eggs and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture.
Using a butter knife, gently cut in the liquid to form a soft dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently pat to a thickness of 2cm.
Cut out rounds using a cookie-cutter. Place the scones on a greased baking tray. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed up and golden.
Cook’s note: Home-baked scones are best eaten split open while still warm, with butter, raspberry jam and cream.
