Cut the butter into small pieces, add it to the flour mixture, and stir the butter and flour with your fingers until crumbs appear. Beat the eggs well, add them to the milk and stir well. Pour the mixture of eggs and milk into the flour mixture and stir gently with a spatula until the materials are mixed evenly to form a soft dough.
Take out the dough, put it on a flat workbench, gently flatten the dough by hand and cut it into circles or other shapes. Put the cut dough on a baking tray, put it in an oven preheated to 180℃, and bake for about 10- 15 minutes until golden brown. Take out the baked scones, put them on the cooling rack, and enjoy them after cooling.
When making scones, pay attention to the temperature of the butter. It is best to take out the butter in advance and soften it at room temperature. You can add some dried fruits and chocolate chips to the dough to add flavor. The temperature and time of the oven should be adjusted according to the oven conditions and the size of the dough, so as to ensure that the baked scones are golden, soft and sweet.
Matters needing attention in making scones
1. raw materials: high-quality flour, butter, sugar, eggs and other raw materials should be selected to avoid using inferior or expired raw materials, which will affect the quality and taste of the production.
2. Mixing method: Stir with gentle kneading and beating to avoid the dough from being sticky or rough in taste due to excessive kneading.
3. Temperature control: the temperature of dough and butter should be controlled during the production process to avoid the influence of too high or too low temperature on the production quality and taste.
4. Baking time: The appropriate baking time should be selected according to the oven temperature and the size of scones, so as to avoid excessive or insufficient baking and affect the taste and mouthfeel.
