Scones

Scones are formally eaten with a cup of tea and are for any time of the day. If you plan on meeting a friend for a chat and you are very posh you would probably give them a cup of tea and some scones. (*or get somebody to make them)

With the exception of the cheese, no. You could try buttermilk though if you want a bit more body.

Well, scones need fat as a bonding agent. All pastries do.

Fats in scones also contribute to the flakiness of the scone. The solid fat is cut into the flour so that when you bake the scones, the fat melts and creates layers inside the scone.

Take off the rapper, then break the bottom part off and smush it on top of the icing and eat it like a sandwich! It actually tastes better!!

Shape dough into a 6-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 8 equal wedges. Place scones on prepared baking sheet; lightly brush tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.

Hi there the use of a flour sifter is to civ the flour to equal size and if you find any flour lumps you can push them through so you dont get lumps of flour in your food.It also helps you pick out anything that should'nt be in the flour.

The scone originated in Scotland, so it is named after the Stone of Destiny, where Scottish Kings were crowned.

The fat in scones is what makes them light and crumbly, as opposed to rock-like. You may be able to reduce the fat content slightly (if it's quite a high proportion of fat to flour, you should be able to reduce the fat by about 1/4 -1/3), but the scones will not have a pleasant texture if all of the fat is removed. If you just want to cut down the fat content, try using margarine. Margarine still results in scones with a reasonable texture, but since it contains more liquid than butter, you will probably need to reduce the amount of milk that you add when you form a dough. (Otherwise the dough is very sloppy).

Caster sugar is just superfine sugar. It is granulated sugar that has been ground very finely. Because of the superfine consistency the sugar will disolve better when the milk or buttemilk is added and prevent crystallization through the baking process, which can result in a gritty scone texture.

i make and freeze them all the time... you cook them 1st let them cool that wrap each school with cling warp they should last up to one month in the freezer other things u can freeze are cooked pancakes any muffins any cakes bannana bread.

you can enjoy a scone with sweet butter, clotted cream, or fresh lemon curd:)

Scones are usually made without sugar.

Use wholemeal flour instead of white - OR - replace some of the white flour with bran.

because britan can only make half as much food is they need so we need to make the other half for them and our own food so it is better if we eat only irish food then less people will lose their jobs and less companies will shut down if we eat our own food we are helpin irish people get more money to make more food

The classic thing to put in the scone mixture is cheese; sourcream and chive is also good. Choritzo or some other kind of spiced sausage might be quite nice, possibly with saffron. Or you could try adding some cornmeal/polenta, lemon, coriander and ancho chilis (cream cheese or creme fraiche filling). Black pudding might make an interesting addition (cubed, to the dough). The possibilities are fairly limitless; just think of a meal that you enjoy and see what elements of it you can add to a scone.

Nb. For most of these flavors, the scone dough will need plenty of salt in it, to ensure that it cannot be mistaken for a "sweet scone" and to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients. In savory scones, salt is even more important than in sweet scones.

I tend to put butter on ,its nice with jelly and gravy ,so sugar might work.You should try poo that tastes nice to.

Simple Scones INGREDIENTS * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1/3 cup sugar * 1 teaspoon baking powder * 1/4 teaspoon baking soda * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen * 1/2 cup raisins (or dried currants) * 1/2 cup sour cream * 1 large egg

DIRECTIONS # Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. # In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins. # In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth. # Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.) # Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
