Scones

Today I wish to share a special baking recipe with you. It is easy-to-make, simple and yummy 😋 tea time snack! Let's get started.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour or maida -160 ml measure

Semolina or rava - 1 teaspoon

Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons

Curds - 80 ml measure

Baking powder - ¼ teaspoon 

Baking soda - ¼ teaspoon 

Vanilla essence - ½ teaspoon

Sugar - 4 teaspoons

Salt - a pinch

Milk - for glazing

* You may add 1 tablespoon of raisins or caramel bits to the batter if desired.

Method:

• Sieve together all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda very well.
• Add in coconut oil and blend in with your fingers till the flour mix becomes a crumble.
• Beat curds, sugar, salt and vanilla essence in a bowl very well. Add in the flour mix and semolina. 
• Blend together to form a soft dough. At this stage you may add raisins or caramel bits as desired. 
• Divide the dough into four equal parts. Dust the work surface with flour, fold one portion of the dough a couple of times and then shape it into a disc. Repeat the process with the remaining portions. 
• Grease a muffin tray with oil and place a disc in each of the depressions. 
• Alternatively, you may place a cupcake liner in the the depressions of the muffin tray and fill the cupcake liners with one part of the dough.
• Brush milk on top of the scones for glazing.
• Bake at 200℃ for 10-15 minutes or till the top turns golden brown in color.
• De-mould the scones and serve with butter and jam or preserve of your choice.
