Scones with Love

I have been using this recipe forever and this is by far the easiest and fail proof recipe. Thanks Alycea. https://www.alycealexandra.com/blogs/free-recipes/thermomix-scones

Basically it is just like a normal scones recipe minus lots of butter but replaced with cream. And that in itself is the secret.

Makes 15

540g plain flour
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp caster sugar
Pinch salt
60g butter, roughly chopped
420g cream
Milk, for brushing

Preheat oven to 220°C.
Place flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and butter in TC bowl, mix for 5 seconds, speed 7, or until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Set on dough function for 45 seconds and during this time slowly pour cream through the hole in lid. You want the dough to just start coming together, but still look very dry and crumbly.
Turn dough out onto an extra-large baking mat (yes it will be crumbly!) and use edges to squeeze the dough together. We don’t need a smooth dough, but we do need to stay together - remember, the key is to do as little as possible.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to 3cm thickness. Use a small round cutter (if you’ve got a TM31 use the MC!) to cut out scones, inserting into flour each time if sticking.
Place scones onto a flat baking tray lined with a silicone baking mat or baking paper (or you can use a silicone baking tray and there’s no need to line!). Brush the tops with milk and bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are light golden colour. Depending on your oven you might need to rotate during cooking.

Enjoy with lashings of jam and cream! If you’d like to make your own jam, I’ve got an easy low-sugar option - click here to access my thermomix jam recipe.
