Plain Scones

I've used this recipe for more than 20 years.
If you can prepare from Step 1 to 4 the night before, you just need to cut out shapes the next morning. You can enjoy freshly baked scones even on busy weekday mornings.
It's ok to use your fingers to gently bush milk on top of the scones. If you use a brush, it's too much work to wash afterwards. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

Cooking Instructions

Mix cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar in a bowl, and chill in the fridge. Cut the butter into 1 cm cubes and chill the fridge as well.
- 2
Sift the dry ingredients, and add the butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingers until it resembles panko.
- 3
Add cold milk, and briefly mix with a spoon. When the dough is not floury any more, it's done.
- 4
Roll into a ball, and wrap with plastic wrap, then let it sit for 1 hour in the fridge.
- 5
Roll out the dough to a 2.5 cm thickness, and cut with a 5 cm diameter cookie cutter. Coat with a thin layer of milk (for the glaze), and bake for 20 minutes at 190℃ (375℉) on the bottom rack.

Plain Scones Plain Scones
I started making scones a few years ago. I tried many recipes on different sites, and settled on these amounts. You can make your own version of this recipe, such as using 100g of cake flour and 100g of bread flour, or using only milk, etc.It's often said that you have to chill the butter or if the dough is runny you must refrigerate it, etc., but I don't really think about those things. They usually turn out fine as long as the dough isn't watery.However, forgetting to add the baking powder will give a bad result, so make sure you add it. Recipe by Kurapura cookpad.japan -
Easy Plain Scones Easy Plain Scones
I am addicted to making macarons, so the leftover egg yolks keep piling up. I couldn't be bothered to make cookies, so I used egg yolks instead of whole eggs in my usual scone recipe. They turned out just like the scones I once got at a bakery.*Adjust the amount of egg depending on your margarine. Sometimes 80 ml is just right, and other times it's not enough, so add lit little by little.*This time I used 2 medium size egg yolks. The texture becomes too crumbly if you add more than 40 ml.

I modified a scone recipe that I fond in an old English cookbook to use cake flour instead of whole wheat flour. I know it off by heart but thought I'd make a note anyway. (I combined this recipe with the old "Earl Grey Scones" recipe that I had already uploaded).Due to using vegetable oil and allowing the dough to sit in a warm place, these scones have a moist, fluffy, and soft finish. Adjust the baking time depending on your type of oven. You can eat these the day after you've made them by either popping them in the toaster oven or heating them up for 10 seconds in the microwave.

Since I like a simple taste that goes with jam and cream, I made these soft and fluffy with no sweetness.I used a half-amount of chocolate chips, 30 g. Jam tablets are also delicious.I use good flour when making scones.

Scones Scones
I aimed to emulate KFC's biscuits (scones), and after a lot of trial and error this is the recipe I've settled on. In the end they are different from the KFC version, but it's simpler and easier to eat than the version I was aiming for.When you get used to making these, you can make the dough while the oven is heating up. The important points are as follows: Make sure the butter doesn't melt, and to just work quickly. If you chill the butter and the floury ingredients in the refrigerator beforehand, they'll be easier to work with. Don't knead the dough. The scones will become heavy, and won't split easily. If the dough becomes too soft, chill it in the refrigerator before proceeding. Recipe by Yukiline cookpad.japan -
