scones

Today i felt like baking; didn't want to make anything complicated so i decided to make scones! :)

I didn't really feel like making sweet scones, so i decided to reduce the amount of sugar..the recipe was really simple. All you need is :

all purpose flour (200gr)

baking powder (2 teaspoon)

sugar (1 tablespoon)

butter (50gr)

milk-- i used soy milk (100cc)

First, in a bowl mix the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut up the butter into small cubes, then put them in the bowl too.

With you hand, mix the butter with the dry ingredients until it forms many small lumps (looks kinda like very big granulated sugar). Pour in the milk little by little until the dough can be formed into a ball.

Wrap the dough with plastic and put in the fridge for one hour.

After an hour, take the dough out and make a large circle (as big as a small pizza). Cut the circle into 8 equal slices.

Preheat the oven at 190 degrees Celsius. (wait 10 minutes)

On a baking sheet, place the slices and bake them in the oven at 190 degrees for 20 minutes.

After it is baked you can fill in the scones with whatever you like, or you can just eat it as it is.

I filled mine with blueberry jam and cream cheese. Hope you can try this at home! :)
