I enjoy blogging... I enjoy sharing my passion with people. Apart from able to get in touch with friends , families and ex-students, I've gained the so-call "blogger friendship" with people I never met before.
Mamafami's blog is one of those that I always check, everyday. Few days back , she had made the scones that made me "drool" from this side of the world. (btw she is a enthusiastic Malaysian Mom who live in Malawi ~ frankly I do not know the existance of this place until I read her blog ..hehe.) Thank you Mama...for the recipe..and everything.
So today, I made scones for breakfast . My hubby and I had ours with mixed fruit jam while the kids had theirs with nutella... mmmm yummy!
Ingredients : 2 cups self-raising flour ~ I ran out of this so I used 2cups of flour and 2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
30 g butter ~ cut into small pieces
1/2 cup fresh milk ~ I used 1 cup
1/2 cup water ~ I omitted this as I just used milk
Method :
1. Preheat oven to very hot (220 C) (I preheated mine at 180 C) 2. Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add butter and rub in lightly using fingertips.
3. Combine milk and butter.
4. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Pour in liquid all at once, reserving about a teaspoon for glazing. Mix quickly to a soft dough.
5. Turn onto a floured board (use self-raising flour). Knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a round about 2 cm thick.
6. Cut using a floured plain round cutter or cut into triangles using a floured knife. Place on a greased oven tray and glaze with milk.
7. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until scones sound hollow when tapped.
8. Cool on wire rack. Serve with jam and cream.
Note :
Salt is optional. However, it does enhance the flavour of the scones.
My creative side was also active this morning so I " threw in", butter and flour, ( rub in method), add icing sugar, add almond powder divide the mixture into 2 potions. To one, I add in chocolate chips and egg and to the other,I add in cocoa powder, white chips and egg. The resulting cookies? here it is... and as usual.....I did not measure the ingredients...
