Soft, moist fruit scones best served warm with strawberries and clotted cream
Scones
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
80g butter, cut into small cubes
200ml milk
Serve with
Butter
Strawberry Jam
Clotted cream
1 cup of Hot Chocolate:
300ml milk
2 tsp cocoa powder
2 tsp stevia or sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C / Gas mark 7
Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar
Add the softened butter cubes and mix well until the mixture looks like crumbs
Add enough milk until a dough is formed. All the milk may not be needed.
Sprinkle flour on the worktop and knead the dough until it looks smooth
Then roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick
Use a 5cm round cookie cutter to cut the scones and place them on a tray lined with greaseproof paper
Bake for 13-15 minutes until slightly golden
Hot chocolate
Whilst the scones are in the oven, pour the milk and cocoa powder & stevia powder or sugar into a saucepan and boil. Whisk it to make it frothy and pour into a mug. The quantities are for 1 mug - this can be multiplied to make more
To serve the scones
Slice the scones in half and spread both sides with butter and add jam and a dollop of clotted cream in the middle
Enjoy!
Optional: For lighter scones, half cup of wholemeal spelt flour could be replaced with plain flour
To store: The scones can be kept in a container in the fridge for 3-4 days

Wondered what weight 2 cups of wholemeal spelt flour is?

ReplyI tried this recipe and see why we might cast doubt on the measurements - either increase weight of flour or reduce milk from 200 to nearer 100 ml. My attempt gave me a very very runny dough which could not be handled. I think I would reduce milk as my option. The outside was delightful but needed so more cooking to make middle worth eating
