Cookies or Scones?


These are actually scones but for practical reasons I mixed the ingredients in a large bowl and form the dough with hands. That's why the end products looked like cookies. The original recipe calls for apples & raisins but at one occasion I used strawberries and raisins. This has become a new favorite of my family!


Apple Scones
Ingredients:
380 gr flour
1 tsp baking powder
110 gr butter, at room temperature
80 gr icing sugar
1 egg
100 ml sweetened condensed milk
2 apples, diced
75 gr raisins
1 egg yolk, beaten

Method
  1. Sift together flour and baking powder onto a clean surface. Push flour outwards o form a 25 cm round wall.
  2. Place butter in the center. Add icing sugar and mix well with fingers. Add egg and mix well.
  3. Add milk slowly and mix well with the butter mixture and flour to form dough. Add diced apples and raisins and mix well.
  4. Roll out dough to 2 cm thickness. Stamp out rounds with a 5 cm cookie cutter. Arrange on a greased baking tray spaced well apart. Brush with beaten egg yolk.
  5. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C/400°F for 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks.


It's perfect for a tea party or just to accompany your quality time at afternoon tea .
