Big Fat Bobbie Scones

DESSERT


Easy on tummy: very
Budget: small
Dairy free


Preparation: 10 min  ›  Cook: 10-15 min 





Ingredients:

  • 350g self raising flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 85g butter
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 175 ml warm water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract(optional)
  • squeeze of lemon
  • 1 beaten egg for glazing (optional)
Method of preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Leave the tray inside to warm it.

In a large bowl put the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the sugar. Make a well in the middle.

Add the oil, water, vanilla and squeezed lemon. With a spoon stir the mixture well until roughly homogenous. You can then work the dough with your hands to get it smooth.

Don't work it too much or you lose the airiness later. Use a pin and roll it to about 2cm thick. Cut out circular shapes with a cookie shape, or if you don't own one, use a glass. 

Take out the warm tray out of the oven, put the scones over it and glaze their tops with the beaten egg (optional). Bake for about 15 mins on 180 C oven.

Yummyyy!
