巧克力檸檬司康作法
Ingredients
3 cups (450 g) all-purpose flour ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar 4 tsp (12 g) baking powder ½ tsp (2.5 g) salt 2 tsp (10 mL) finely grated citrus zest (lemon, lime or orange) ¾ cup (175 g) cold butter, cut into pieces ¾ cup (175 mL) cold milk (1% or 2%) 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk (reserve the white for brushing the scones) ½ cup (125 mL) add-ins (**see note below) cinnamon sugar for sprinkling最後的配料, 可放任何喜歡的乾料都行, 例如巧克力豆, 葡萄乾, 果乾，
在鋪平麵團後鋪上乾料, 可三折麵團壓平, 多次將乾料揉入麵團, 不需要一開始就加入。
這次我選擇的是Costco買的巧克力豆。
1. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line 1-2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated citrus zest and mix in. Add the butter and cut this in using a pastry cutter, two butter knives or your fingertips, until no large pieces are visible and the mixture is a rough, crumbly texture. Use your hands to rub the mixture between your palms to flatten any butter pieces – this helps to make the scones flaky.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg and egg yolk together. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the milk all at once. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together just until it starts to come together but it is still rough and crumbly. Turn everything out onto a clean surface and sprinkle the add-ins overtop. Use your hands to bring the dough together, and to flatten and fold the dough over a few times – this works the currants into the dough and helps build layers to promote flakiness.
4. Flatten the dough with your hands, to just under an inch (2.5 cm) thick and use a 2 ½-inch (7.5 cm) round cutter to cut out scones. Arrange these on the baking tray, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg white and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake the scones for about 18 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom and lightly browned on top. Cool the scones on a rack
The scones are best enjoyed the day they are baked.
