Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 2/3 cups of milk
- 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter (cold)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of HerbaZest Amaranth Flour
Directions
These soft and fluffy English scones get a wholesome twist with amaranth, which adds a subtly nutty, earthy flavor to the classic recipe. Easy to prepare with simple ingredients, they're delicious served warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Whisk together the all-purpose flour, amaranth flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.(5 minutes)
- Whisk together the milk and egg. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together without kneading much. Pat it to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and cut into 6 rounds.(5 minutes)
- Arrange on a lined baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until well risen and golden.(15 minutes)
