Scotch Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and currants in a large bowl.
• Mix well.
• Make a well in center.
• Beat egg until frothy, and mix in melted butter or margarine and milk.
• Pour into well.
• Stir to make soft dough.
• Pat dough into two 6- to 7-inch circles.
• Transfer to greased baking sheet.
• Score each top into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes, until risen and browned.
• Serve warm with butter and jam.

Steps:

• Must have a griddle if want to be stovetop, but may also try 350°F oven (I don't know how long because I always use griddle).
• Sift together dry ingredients then cut in butter or lard. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk.
• Stir until a soft dough mix. Roll out with rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut into squares and then fry on a hot greased griddle as if pancakes, but will be thicker.
• Brown both sides or a oven as mentioned above.
• Serve hot or cold with frosting or powdered sugar. I like butter alone.

Steps:

• Sieve the flour into a bowl, and add the baking powder, sugar and ½ tsp of salt. Whisk the egg and milk together in a jug, then pour into the bowl and whisk for a few minutes until you make a smooth thick batter.
• Add a drizzle of oil to a hot plate or large frying pan, and spread using a piece of kitchen paper. Heat the pan over a medium heat, and once hot, drop 2 tbsp of the batter into the pan to make small pancakes. You will be able to make about 4-5 at a time.
• Cook the pancakes for 2-3 mins until the edges are set, and bubbles rise from the middle. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked ones warm in a low oven, if you like. Add another drizzle of oil to the pan when needed.
• Top the pancakes with a little butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, alongside some seasonal fruit, if you like.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.
• Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a large bowl, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk and egg with a fork just until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, divide dough into thirds and knead each piece 3 or 4 times. Pat each piece into a 6-inch round (1/2 inch thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.
• Heat griddle over low heat until hot, then lightly oil.
• Working in 2 batches, dust each wedge of dough with flour, patting off excess, then cook over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-low and cook until puffed and undersides are golden-brown, 3 to 5 minutes more. Turn scones over and cook until undersides are golden-brown, 6 to 8 minutes (watch closely; move scones and adjust heat as needed so they cook through without burning). Turn scones on edges and cook until golden-brown, about 1 minute per edge. Cut one scone open to check for doneness.
• Transfer to a rack and cool to warm. (Lightly oil griddle between batches.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Add chilled butter; using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Mix in chips. Whisk 1/2 cup cream and egg in small bowl to blend. Gradually add cream mixture to dry ingredients, tossing with fork until dough comes together in moist clumps. Add more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto large rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake scones until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oil, butter, egg and yolk; stir into oat mixture just until blended. Stir in raisins and cranberries (dough will be sticky). , Turn dough onto a well-floured surface; divide in half. With lightly floured hands, pat each portion of dough into a 6-3/4-in. circle, 1/2 in. thick. Cut each into nine wedges; place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray., In a small bowl, beat egg white and water; brush over tops of scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the currants. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the dough results in terrible scones!
• With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown, not deep brown. Break each scone apart, or slice in half. Serve with butter or clotted cream and a selection of jams - or even plain.
