Keilan Chetty's Classic Mini Scones
SERVINGS: 12 MINI SCONES
INGREDIENTS
285gr Champagne Valley Cake Flour
20ml Baking Powder
2ml Oryx fine Salt
25gr White Sugar
50gr Butter
1 whole Midlands Egg
150 ml Full Cream Milk
Extras
Champagne Valley Cake Flour
10ml Full Cream Milk
DIRECTIONS
Sift the dry ingredients together.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Cut in the liquid, midlands egg and milk whisked together, into the dry mixture.
Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured surface and press down to 2cm thickness with rolling pin (Be careful not to over-knead the dough or over work it)
Cut out the scones using a sharp scone cutter, pushing down hard (Be careful not to turn the cutter as you are pushing down because this can result in a lopsided scone. Always remove scone dough away from the cutter when removing the scone from the dough. Shape the scone with your hands)
Place onto a floured tray
Lightly glaze the scone with milk (Be careful not to place too much milk on top because this will prevent the scone from rising) (Also, don't allow glaze to run o/T the side of the scones as this will result in one side of the scone being higher than the other)
Bake at 240°C for about 10 minutes
Serve warm with butter and jam
