I still have a small bottle of strawberry jam in the fridge and eating them with hot freshly baked scones has certainly "motivated" me to bake them in the early morning after a light breakfast.
A very simple task actually, just get all the ingredients on the kitchen table and everything will be done within an hour. This time I did the full portion as in the recipe by Anna Olson on youtube. Instead of cranberries, I put in chopped apricots this time and added in more lemon zest.
Full portion = 16 scones...
The odd shaped one at the bottom is the remainder of the dough...
As usual, I topped it with pecan...
25 minutes of baking under temperature of 170 degrees...
I don't know why the recipe written is brushing the top with egg white...
It is so pale in comparison with the egg yolk...
Next time I will use egg yolk instead...
I ate two scones at one go...
So nice to go with the cold strawberry jam...
Oh scones!!! For a while, I thought they were cookies/biscuits. Scones are usually cylindrical, thicker. I love scones, rich buttery scones...with clotted cream and fruit jam, so so so nice.
ReplyDeleteI thought they are cookies by just looking at your photos. Can eat with butter too! So delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! Scones with strawberry jam is good. I like it with butter but dont mind jam with it too.
