Scones

Scones are a traditional English dessert. The classic ones are usually served with jam and whipped cream, but today we'll look at them with the addition of berries and a lemon glaze.

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 190˚C (375˚F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Take the frozen berries, weigh them in a bowl and leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Prepare the dough. In a bowl, weigh the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a whisk or sift if there are any lumps.

Pour in the milk. 

Mix lightly with a spatula. 

Then melt the coconut oil and add it to the mixture, now mix with the spatula or by hand until you obtain a compact mixture but do not knead for a long time, just combine the powders with liquids and fat.

Add the berries and mix roughly.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface, sprinkle a little flour on the surface, and flatten it slightly with your hands to form a circle. Keep the dough about 2-3 cm thick.

Cut into 8 equal wedges and transfer to the baking sheet.

Cook at 190˚C static for approximately 28 minutes, then set to grill at 250˚C  for 2 minutes to brown the surface. 

While they cook, prepare a syrup by weighing 50 g of granulated sugar and 50 g of water into a saucepan and heating to around 80 degrees. 

Once the scones are cooked, remove the pan from the oven and, while still hot, brush them all with the syrup.

Let cool at room temperature for half an hour. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the lemon juice and powdered sugar to create a runny icing. Using a teaspoon, drizzle it over the scones in streaks. 

Transfer them to a tray.
