It's been a busy week with not much time to bake, unfortunately. So today, I decided to make a recipe I knew would be quick and delicious: scones and cream.
I used a recipe I found many years ago and I have to admit, although the end result is pretty good, I was so impatient this morning that I didn't follow the directions closely and it could have ended in disaster. Unfortunately, I am not experienced enough to be able to experiment and invent. However, as I said, the end result is pretty good, so maybe it is a fool-proof recipe.

Recipe: Scones

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon butter
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup of milk (approx.)

Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
2. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the egg.
4. Add any "special item" (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, cheese).
5. Gradually add the milk until a thick dough is formed.
6. Turnout the mixture onto a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out the dough to 3/4" thickness and cut them into rounds with a 2" cookie cutter.
7. Place the rounds about 1" apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the top with a little egg or milk.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Serve warm.

Makes a dozen scones.

Pas trop mal, mon premier essai ! Je trouvais ma pâte très molle, bien que n'ayant pas mis tout le lait, et j'ai oublié de mettre l’œuf ! Mais le résultat était très bon, bien qu'un peu friable. Nous les avons mangé tièdes, avec de la crème sûre aromatisée à la vanille. Nous sommes repus ! Il en reste pour le petit déjeuner de demain, on verra comment ils se comportent après la nuit... Bisous

    My name is Anne-Sophie and I've always enjoyed baking. I've decided to try and spend more time trying new recipes and would like to share the journey. I am particularly (but not exclusively) interested in French/Belgian recipes.
