Very super delicious Cranberry Cream Scones


This is a very yummlicious scone recipe, slightly tweaked from Chubby Hubby. Would strongly recommend you to tried it.

1 medium/large egg
160ml whipping cream
2 cups plain flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tbsp salt
80g butter, chilled and cubes
1/2 cup cranberry

1. Preheat oven to 200 degree.
2. Combine egg and whipping cream together.
3. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
4. Rub in the chilled butter to the flour mixture till it resembles bread crumble. Got to do this fast enough before the butter melt.
5. Add in the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Use CHOPSTICK to mix till just combine, knead a little.
6. Transfer to a flour surface and roll out to about 2cm thick. Cut out with cutter.
7. Brush surface with some milk and bake for about 20 mins. The surface will be golden brown and firm to touch when cooked.

Scones

IMG_0173a



I decided to do some scones for my dad, so he can have them for this tea break. Easy to do and can simply add some fruits like raisins, cranberries, etc for variation. Lemon or orange zest are good too! Recipe from Australian Women's Weekly.

Sultana Scones
375g Self-raising flour
1 tbsp caster sugar
30g butter
80g sultana (raisins)
2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water (approx)

1. Preheat oven to 200 degree. Grease a 19cm square pan.
2. Sift flour and sugar in large bowl. Rub in the butter.
3. Stir in the sultanas.
4. Make a well in the centre and add in milk and almost all the water.
5. Use a rubbe spatula and mix. Knead on a floured surface till smooth. If it is too dry, add in more water till you get the consistency. (for me, i didn't have to add all the water.)
6. Press doughto about 2 cm thick and cut with round cutter.
7. Brush top with milk. And bake for about 15 mins. You can tap on the scones to check, if they are cooked, it should sound a little hollow.
