Golden syrup scones

Golden syrup scones are a delightful treat that offer a perfect balance of sweetness and fluffiness. Infused with the rich flavors of light sour cream and maple syrup, these scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy tea time. The following recipe is simple to follow and results in scones that are golden and delicious.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sugar
63g
1/3 cup butter
70g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g

Instructions:

2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the scones from sticking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix well to evenly distribute the sugar.
4. Cut in the Butter: Add 1/3 cup of butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of light sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until smooth.
6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough scones.
7. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive ball. Flatten the dough into a round disc about 1-inch thick.
8. Cut the Scones: Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges or rounds, depending on your preference. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake the Scones: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of golden syrup, or your favorite jam.

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is cold; this helps in achieving the flaky texture of the scones.

- Do not overmix the dough. Mix until just combined to avoid tough scones.

- Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients if you don't have a food processor.

- For a slightly richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.

- Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk before baking for a beautiful, golden finish.

Golden syrup scones are a versatile and delightful addition to any meal. With their perfect balance of sweetness and airy texture, they are sure to become a favorite. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a dollop of clotted cream or a smear of your favorite jam. Happy baking!
