☆Preparation:
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Cut the well-chilled butter into 1cm cubes.
Mix the beaten egg and soy milk well.

In a large bowl, put the diced butter and strong flour, and rub the butter with your fingers to mix well with the flour. Be careful not to melt the butter.
Add baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt, and mix well by hand.
Add the egg and milk mixture, fold it with a spatula, and loosely gather it.
- 4
Take it out on a floured work surface, knead it gently for only 1-2 minutes, and gather it. Be careful not to knead it too much.
Press it flat, cut it in half, and stack it. Repeat this process 5 times.
Roll it out to about 2cm thick with a rolling pin. Since the dough is soft, gently stretch it.
- 5
Put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220℃/ 428 F during that time.
- 6
Cut it with a 6cm round cutter. Dust the cutter with strong flour to cut cleanly. Roughly gather the dough scraps and fold until comes together. Roll out to 2 cm thick. Let it sit in the freezer for a few minutes and then cut it out.
Be careful not to touch the cross-section, and transfer a baking sheet.

Brush the top with beaten egg, being careful not to let it drip on the sides.
Bake at 220℃ / 428 F for 5 minutes, then 190℃ / 374 F for 13 minutes, for a total of 18 minutes, until well-risen and golden brown.
Transfer to a rack and cool well.★When completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. Best eaten within 2-3 days. They are also delicious when warmed up just before eating.

Jam:
Put blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
Cover and heat over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
- 9
Remove the lid and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes until lightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Transfer to a container and let it cool. (It will cool faster if you put it in the refrigerator after cooling it with ice water, etc.)
- 10
Cream:
Smooth the cream cheese and butter with a spatula.
Mix on low speed with an electric hand mixer for 4-5 minutes until whitish and fluffy.
Split the scone in half and generously spread cream and jam on it. It's very delicious!

Basic Scones Basic Scones
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.

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.

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.

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 -

Basic Bread Dough Basic Bread Dough
Since I'm making it myself, I want to have a rich pastry dough. Bread baked with this dough is delicious on its own. A very elegant bread dough.Be sure to give it plenty of time to rest (this helps you shape it easily). This dough is relatively high in moisture, so I think it's easy to handle. Bake at high temperatures for a short period of time. That'll give you a fluffy, crisp texture. Recipe by Yukiline -
