yummy!
this is the first time i made an english scones. at first i thought it was so difficult to be made, but actually it was so easy. we just need to have the sensibility of food and softness. i made creamy orange scones and the taste was fabulous!
this is the recipe :
2 and half cup of wheat flour
5 teaspoons of baking powder
5 tablespoons of refined sugar
5 tablespoons of butter
half cup of milk
quarter cup of cream
1 yolk of egg
5 tablespoons of concentrated orange juice
2 orange's graters
1 egg (for glazing)
how do we do it?
1. sieve the wheat flour with baking powder. put in sugar and butter. squeeze the mixture by using your fingers until it become rough bread powder.
2. in other bowl, mix the milk, cream, yolk, orange juice and orange's graters together. add this mixture to the sieved ingredients and quickly make it as a dough by using hand. don't overblend it. if it is sticky, add some flour.
3. you can grind them on the grind board but i take the alternative way of just make it round shape by using my hand. the size a bit is smaller than your palm. but you can make it according to your taste and size.
4. put them in rows on the baking tray. put some glazes on them. bake for 200 celcius for about 20 minutes. just bake them until you see the golden color shines.
and your creamy english orange scones are ready! X)
as my sister said, making scones is like making cekodok. the dough will be felt the same but the products are a bit different. scones are very crunchy on the outside and very soft inside.

how to eat scones?
we eat english cuisines in english way. ahaks. to eat scones we need knife and fork, and also fruit jams. firstly we need to cut the scone into half. spread the jam on the cut part. and eat it just like you eat biscuits. and don't forget to drink it with the sweet english tea (sabah tea pun bolehh). the best for your evening hi-tea.
chillax! =)
