ive just run out but i want to make some!.!.!.!.

recipe anyone!?!? PLEASE!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes it is possible, I make them sometimes with just water!.

For the liquid you can also use an egg, or cold tea from the pot, or a spoonful or two of plain yoghurt, then just add water to make up the quantity in the recipe!.

My own basic scone recipe is

200 g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
50 g butter
25 g sugar (optional)
150 ml milk or water
pinch salt

If using self raising flour omit the baking powder!.
Use margarine instead of butter if preferred!.

Mix the dry ingredients together rubbing in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs!. (Or use a mixer or food processor)

Add enough liquid to make a soft dough!.

Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 2 to 3cm thick and using a 5 cm cutter cut into rounds!.

Place on a baking tray and bake for 12 to 15 mins at 220 C/200 C Fan/425F/Gas 7until risen and golden brown!.

To this basic recipe you can add 50 g sultanas, raisins or currants for fruit scones, or add 25g grated cheese and mustard for cheese scones!.

I sometimes make one large round scone and mark with a knife into 8 and bake for about 20 to 25 mins!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1/2 cup raisins (or dried currants)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg


DIRECTIONS
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees!.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt!. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins!.
In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth!.
Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form!. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball!. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together!.)
Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick!. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp!. of sugar!. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart!. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes!. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature!.

Hope this helps! =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Where is there milk in scones!? Just remove it or substitute cold water!. They will be more like biscuits!. If you are talking about brushing the tops with milk before you bake, just ignore it!. If you are that concerned about it, I am sure there is a quickie mart somewhere nearby!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can do them with lowfat/no fat yogurt with a dash of water, but I can't remember how much!. Sorry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
