PREPARATION
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- In a bowl, mix with your fingertips flour, salt, baking powder and butter until coarse crumbs.
- Add sugar, vanilla sugar and chocolate chips. Mix with a wooden spatula.
- In a bowl, whisk the cream with egg.
- Add the liquid mixture to the solid one.
- Mix with a wooden spatula.
- Finish to mix with your hands and form a ball.
- Shape the scones. 2 ways to do this : 1. Spread the dough with a rolling pin on 2cm thick and cut the dough with a round glass to form traditional scones, or cut with a knife and shape into triangle. Place the scones on a plate covered with baking paper ; 2. Form the dough into a ball take a handful , form small rough ball and place on a plate covered with baking paper and flatten slightly. Personally, I prefer the second method that is most similar to scones I’ve tasted in Australia ! You can sprinkle flour on the top to make more traditional .
- Bake the scones for 10-13 minutes. They will swell slightly and will be cooked when it sounds hollow when tapped on. The finger should not sink .
Scones are best fresh and it is best to eat them the baking day. The next day , they will become less crunchy and wet (they operate much like the bread in fact !). Then I suggest to freeze your remaining scones and take them out 2 to 3 hours before eating them , they will be as good as the day of their making . These scones can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or a glass of cold milk !
