Chef Mable,s Signature Recipes Scones

👩🏽‍🍳 Chef Mable’s Signature Scones

Yield: Approximately 12–15 scones

Bake: 150°C for approximately 14 minutes

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

700 g all-purpose flour

200 g soft butter

50 g sugar

30 ml baking powder

Pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

250 ml milk

2 eggs

For finishing

1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

Brown sugar, for sprinkling

Optional additions

Raisins

Grated cheese

Method

Place the flour, soft butter, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

Rub/crumb the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the 250 ml milk and 2 eggs.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients.

Using a butter knife, gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix—this helps keep the scones light and tender.

For variations, gently fold in raisins or grated cheese, or leave them plain.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out.

Cut into your desired scone shapes.

Place onto a lined baking tray.

Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.

Bake at 150°C for approximately 14 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

✨ Chef Mable’s Tip

Handle the dough gently and avoid overmixing. The less you work the dough, the softer and lighter your scones will be.
