Irish Scones


Last night after having body massange, I decided to try Irish recipe on doing Irish scone. I failed for the first time cos accidentally added too much milk in the flour mix. BUT NEVER GIVE UP. I decided to go for 2nd try. This round, i was so careful when pouring the milk. While baking, my house was full of irish scone aroma. Makes me feel like i'm leaving in Ireland. As result, it was so successful and i was so happy with the result which i'v been created - golden brown hot irish scones. YUMMY! It taste great when u serve hot scone with butter.

Ingredients:-
2 cups self raising flour
1 tspn baking powder
(sieve flour & powder, mix well)
115gram butter/ magerine
(add in cube butter, mix till crumb)
2 handful sugar
3 handful currents / raisin / sultanas
(mix well with the flour mix)
1 egg
100ml milk
(combine egg & milk, add into flour mix. Mix well with fork. Keep some egg + milk mixer for greasing purpose)
Bring dough to floured surface, make a ball dough, cut dough into 6 /7 scones.
Grease with the remaining egg + milk mix, bake for 10-15 mins for 190 degress celcius.
Cooling for 15 mins on the rack.

Good Luck!

It was Monday. Suppose it should be a blue Monday. It seems like i was inspired by this Monday. Probably because i was filled with my weekend and i truly believe this inspiration will stay with me a long long time. I'll shared more on my weekend life with another new topics. Monday evening, i was inspired to heat up my oven and have a touch with all the ingredients e.g. self raising flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, chocolate chips, egg and low fat milk. YES! it's scones again. This round i used back the same ingredients but i replace raisin with chocolate chips. Turn oven temperature to 230 degree and only bake for 18 minutes. The scones turn out so perfectly. I am so happy with the results. Fabulous!

Reheat frozen Scones!

Tips: I've few experiences on burning the scones when i was trying to reheat the frozen scones by using microwave. With medium heat, you can only go up to 1 min. The scones will get burn if you go more than that. You might smell burning smell. When you look at the surface of the scones, it look perfect BUT the burn is actually inside the scones. So watch out the reheat timing. Love ya.
