We’ve eaten Scones in England at the Tea time. Scones are a traditionell food and a basic of a afternoon tea light meal. Often, you can eat Scones with clotted cream (german: Schlagsahne) or jam, we’ve eaten varieties with cheddar or bacon.

We changed the recipe with rye flour. The new name is “German potatoes” 😉

Ingredients

450g rye flour
2 tsp baking powder
50g caster sugar
100g butter, softened, cut into pieces
2 free-range eggs
a little milk
handful sultanas (optional)

Method

Crack the eggs into a measuring jug
add milk to 300ml in total liquid
stir the egg and the milk into the flour and mix to a soft and sticky dough
knead lightly and work in the sultanas
roll as a bread roll 2cm thin and brush the tops of the scones with a little egg yolk
bake for 12 – 15 minutes – the top should be have a golden-brown color
To serve, split the scones and serve with strawberry jam or clotted cream
