Its been a long time since i attempted Daring Baker’s Challenge. This New year onwards i m planning to try it every month. This Month in DB we were Challenged by Audax from Audax Artifex to Bake Basic Scones She gave us a whole lot of information on Scones, and a number of choices to bake from. I chose to bake a Raisin Scones with a Combination of Wheat and All Purpose Flour. They Came out so Beautifully, We enjoyed them warm with a blob of Cherry Jam.
Ingredients
½ cup All
Purpose flour
Purpose flour
½ Cup Whole
Wheat Flour
Wheat Flour
¼ Cup Raisins
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoons baking
powder
powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons frozen
grated butter
grated butter
Approximately
½ cup cold milk
½ cup cold milk
Optional 1
tablespoon milk, for glazing the tops of the scones
tablespoon milk, for glazing the tops of the scones
Method
- Preheat oven to very hot 240°C
- Triple sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
- Rub the frozen grated butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles
very coarse bread crumbs - Add Raisins and Sugar and Combine well.
- Add nearly all of the milk at once into the flour mixture
and mix until it just forms a sticky dough The wetter the dough the lighter the
scones (biscuits) will be!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, lightly
flour the top of the dough and knead very gently about 4 or 5 times (do not
press too firmly) the dough until it is smooth - Pat or roll out the dough to form squares or wedges as you
desire. I rolled it out as a ½ inch thick Circle and cut out 8 wedges using a
biscuit cutter. - Place the rounds just touching on a baking dish if you
wish to have soft-sided scones or place the rounds spaced widely apart on the
baking dish if you wish to have crisp-sided scones. Glaze the tops with milk if
you want a golden color - Bake in the preheated very hot oven for about 10 minutes
until the scones are well risen and are lightly colored on the tops. The
scones are ready when the sides are set. - Immediately
place onto cooling rack to stop the cooking process, serve while still warm
with Some Jam Preserve.

Lovely colour you got on the tops of your wedge scones, so glad to hear you got such good results. Well done. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.
