STEP 1/8
Please prepare the ingredients first :)
STEP 2/8
Cut butter with a knife and keep it cold in the freezer.
STEP 3/8
Please prepare a fine sieve!
4 cups of flour filled with soju paper cups
STEP 4/8
Add salt, sugar, and baking powder and sprinkle finely.
STEP 5/8
Add frozen butter to freezer and toss into sharp spatula or scraper.
It's easy if you think that each butter grain is coated with flour. :)
STEP 6/8
Now add milk + vanilla oil to the dough and mix in well-polished shapes.
The important thing here is that you have to do it roughly Haha
If you knead it or mix it too much, the scones will get baked and spread, so make sure to knead it while dividing it as gently as in the picture.
I dabbed vanilla oil into the milk, but it doesn't matter if it's not there
STEP 7/8
To prevent the butter from melting, I used two spoons instead of hands to make the dough lump together. Make sure to just roughly clump together Haha
I preheated it to 175 degrees and baked it for 13 minutes.
STEP 8/8
It looks crispy, right? Haha
I dipped it with a toothpick to see if it was cooked well Haha
It's really good if you cool it down and eat it with black tea, butter and jam, or clotted cream.
* There are many reasons why scones spread. If there is a failure, please check the items below again!
- Because you knead too much dough (it's not hard and crispy when there are lots of empty parts!)
- The butter melts in the batter
- The temperature of the oven is too low
*The oven heat varies from house to house, so please check after baking for about 10 minutes!
* Please remember that the point of Norukichin's plain scone is roughly the point.
