Scones

(Prepare and Produce Cakes)

Sconesis a small British quick bread, traditionally hailing from both Scotland and the South West England. They are usually made of wheat or oatmeal with baking powder as leavening agent. The original scone was round and flat, usually the size of a medium size plate. 

The method I use is the rub in method. This is the common method. Some recipes use water instead of milk. But milk is better as there will be more flavor in it. First, mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Sift them. Add in butter to the flour mix and by using our hand, rub the mixture until there is no big lumps of butter. It will become like breadcrumb. Then, put in the milk and mix well. Knead the soft dough on the table with some flour dust on it until the top part covered with some flour. *Don't over knead the dough*

Cut into shape using scone cutter. 
Remember not to mix the dough more that twice. 
Notice that there is 2 difference color??? 
Guess... what is the difference???
