The Amasi and Ultramel combo is what makes these extra special. Rich, soft and fluffy every time.
But here are the three things I will never compromise on:
❄️ Cold ingredients are everything. Cold margarine, cold Amasi, cold Ultramel. This is what gives you that soft fluffy texture inside. Warm ingredients will flatten that out before your scones even hit the oven.
🤲🏽 Be gentle with your dough always. From rubbing in the margarine to rolling and cutting, light hands the whole way through.
🥣 Do not overmix. Fold gently and stop the moment the dough comes together. Overworking it makes scones tough and dense and we are not here for that. 😄
Cold. Gentle. Patient. That's the secret. 🤫
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
½ cup sugar
250g margarine (cold)
1 cup Amasi (cold)
½ cup Ultramel (cold)
1 tsp vanilla essence
METHOD:
Sift your flour into a bowl, add baking powder and sugar and mix together.
Grate in your cold margarine and gently rub it into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Work quickly to keep everything cold.
Make a well in the centre and add your Amasi, Ultramel and vanilla essence.
Gently fold using a spatula until the dough just comes together. Stop there.
Transfer onto a floured surface, gently roll out and cut into your preferred shape and size.
Bake at 190°C until risen, golden and baked through.
Disclaimer: biscuits are still my thing. But today the scones won. 😄
