If you feel like having the delicious aroma of home baked goods fill your house, this recipe is the way to go. You don’t have to be a baking expert to make these, it’s super easy! The scones are delicious when served with butter, eggs, avocado, feta, goat cheese, or anything else you can think of.
Ingredients
- 12oz all purpose flour, and a little bit more for dusting
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp ras el hanout
- 3 ½ oz butter cut into cubes
- 5oz grated parmesan plus a little more for the finish
- 6 fl. oz milk (175 ml)
- ⅛ tsp lemon juice
- 1 egg for glazing
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a baking tray with baking paper on it in the oven, so it preheats as well
- Sieve the flour, baking powder and ras el hanout into a large bowl and mix well using a spoon
- Add the butter and mix until there are crumbs. Use a food processor if you have one, or you can go old school and mix with your hands
- Mix in the cheese
- Add the milk and lemon juice to the flour mixture, and stir everything quickly using a regular knife in a large bowl until everything feels uniformly mixed
- Use your hands to make a ball from the dough. Knead a few times until the dough feels nice and smooth
- Sprinkle a little flour over a work surface and flatten the dough ball with a rolling pin into a 1” thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 pieces
- Beat the egg and brush the tops of the scones with it. Finish by sprinkling some grated parmesan
- Place the dough scones on the preheated baking tray and return to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden on top
