dailyrecord.co.ukA fun activity to partake in over the winter is baking, which can be enjoyed solo or with friends and family - with recipes ranging from beginner to a more intermediate level.Baking guru Mary Berry has posted a classic recipe to her website, for some fluffy scones that only take 10 minutes to cook, with 12 minutes of preparation time.
The baking expert noted that the "secret" to making the perfect scone is by not letting the mixture get "too dry", and also "not to handle the dough too much".So, why don't you give this special scone recipe a go, either on your own or with other avid bakers?Read on below to find out more.Begin by preheating the oven to 220C and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Measure out the flour and baking powder into a bowl and add in the butter until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.Stir in the sugar, then add the egg into a separate measuring jug, beat until frothy and add in milk until the mixture is 125ml in total.Stir most of the egg and milk into the flour, keeping one tablespoon in the jug to glaze the scones before baking.
Mix to a soft dough.Put this dough onto a floured surface, and knead lightly before rolling out to a half-inch thickness. Cut into small circles - you should have enough dough to make 10 scones.Place the little circles onto the baking sheet - spaced out so they don't all cook into one big scone - and brush the tops with a little milk and send into the oven for 10 minutes.Remove from the baking sheet and leave to cool on a wire rack.You can also read about this recipe, and many more, in Mary Berry's Fast Cakes book, available on Amazon.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates
