Scones – typical British

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
