SCOTCH SCONES



Scotch Scones image

These were originally made by my Granny and are slightly sweeter and flatter than most scones. They are easy to make too - the no bake method allows me to make these on the hottest days of summer, which make them my family's favorite camping treat.

  • Sift together dry ingredients then cut in butter or lard. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk.
  • Stir until a soft dough mix. Roll out with rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut into squares and then fry on a hot greased griddle as if pancakes, but will be thicker.

Categories     Bread     Fry

Yield 2 x 4 = 8 Scones

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz plain flour
1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 level teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 oz buttermilk
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the girdle and grease lightly' Mixing and Shaping : mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and sour milk and salt. Mix to a soft pliable dough. Do not overmix or the scones will shrink when baked. Turn out onto a floured board. Flour on top and divide into two. Roll each piece into a circle about 1 cm thick. Bake on the girdle for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Turn and bake on other side till cooked through. Serve warm with butter and strawberry jam.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones hold their shape while baking.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter and jam: Scones are best served warm with butter and jam.

Conclusion:

Scotch scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these classic Scottish scones in your own home.
