Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 50 grams raisins or currants (optional)
- as needed extra flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar and, if using, raisins or currants for added sweetness.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture. Use a fork to bring the dough together until it forms a soft, slightly sticky ball. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and gently knead the dough for about 30 seconds until it is smooth. Pat the dough out into a round disc about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
Use a round cookie cutter or a floured drinking glass to cut out 6-8 scones, re-rolling the scraps if necessary. Be gentle to maintain the light texture.
Preheat a dry griddle or heavy-based skillet over medium heat. Lightly dust it with a small amount of flour to prevent sticking.
Carefully place the scones onto the hot griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Reduce the heat if they brown too quickly.
Remove the scones from the griddle and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batches.
Serve the griddle scones warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream, and enjoy!
