The Best Scones

2019-09-29 by Tomo

When it comes to scones, I am so picky.
It has to be crumbly, but not too crumbly.
It has to be fluffy but not too fluffy.
It has to be dry but not too dry.

It is just so difficult to make perfect one.

I have baked so many times to make a perfect recipe.

When I lived in England, I went to tea rooms all over UK to try so many scones.
Some of them were like bread, some were too dry.
And my favorite one was actually the closest tea room from where I lived.
Burgers Hall, the name of the tea room in the Cotswolds.
The tea room was little bit dark, cozy, and there was a big table in a middle where all the cakes and scones were presented. I went there so many times to have breakfast or brunch or tea.
Everything was so tasty but scones were amazing.
Since when I have left England, I miss there scones so much.
I tried and tried and tried to make their scones in Japan.

Because scones are simple, ingredients are so important.
But of course, I cannot get British flour and butter easily.
Japanese flour is more delicate compare to British one, and Japanese butter is watery(I don’t know the right word but a bit wet) than British one. So if you live in somewhere else, this recipe does not work.
I know about British ingredients, so if you live in UK, this recipe is a bit dry so you can add more milk(about 2 tbsp)
