Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Stir to mix well.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped dried papaya and sunflower seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, gently pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Use a round cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps of dough, re-pat, and cut additional scones until all the dough is used.
- Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with butter, jam, or cream.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold before incorporating it into the flour mixture for a flakier texture.
- Use a light touch when mixing the dough to avoid overworking it, which can result in tough scones.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of cinnamon to the dough.
- If you prefer sweeter scones, increase the sugar by an additional tablespoon.
- Serve the scones warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of berry jam for an indulgent treat.
