YMSA - Yoga Meditation Studio Kingscliff - Delicious Homemade Scones


  
 Scones                       
Quick & easy
Sweet or savory


Ingredients       
                                     
2 ½ cups organic self raising flour
(Unbleached or wholemeal is also suitable but must be self-raising)
½ cup full cream milk powder  
45g butter
1 cup filtered water                 
Milk for glazing

Preheat oven at 220c.

Sift flour into a bowl and add milk powder.
Rub in butter lightly with fingertips.
Pour in water and mix to a soft dough
(the less handling the better)
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently.
Pat dough out to 2cm thickness and cut into rounds with a 5cm cutter                                                                         
Place close together on a greased oven slide.
Brush with milk.

Bake for 10 -12 mins.

Remove and cover with a clean tea-towel until ready to serve.     

Variations:  both these are yum! 
          
                              
Cheese & chive scones:

Add ½ cup grated tasty vegetarian cheese and 2 tbsp chopped chives before adding the water.
Brush scones with milk and sprinkle with extra grated cheese.

Note: I don’t usually have chives, so I mix in a bit of veggie salt.

Sultana cinnamon scones:


Add 1 cup sultanas and 1tsp cinnamon before adding the water. Brush scones with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of 2tbsp coconut palm sugar or raw sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.

Scones are great, either hot or cold as a healthy alternative to shop bought bread or if you’ve run out of bread and want to make something up quick to have for dinner with a cup ofveggie soup. They can be eaten as is, or with toppings to make them extra special when expecting guests.
