Cranberry Scone

Cranberry Scone
Scone is a traditional English snack. If classified, it should belong to the category of simple bread
However, Sikang is a snack more suitable for afternoon tea. With a cup of black tea, it feels wonderful.
The most primitive shape of Sikang is a triangle. Roll out the dough, cut it into triangles and place it in the oven to bake. Later, Sikang's taste continued to develop and improve, and the shape was no longer a simple triangle. It could be made into various shapes such as round, square and even lace.
Scone is ideal for smearing with various jams or cheeses and serving with black tea. In addition to serving as refreshments, it is also a great choice for breakfast every morning.

  • Cranberry Scone Make Tips

    1. When kneading the ingredients into a dough, do not over-knead; stop when the surface of the dough is smooth and shiny. Over-kneading will cause excessive gluten formation, affecting the texture. 2. If you do not have a round cutter, you can use a knife to cut the dough sheet directly into small triangular pieces of a suitable size. 3. Omit the dried cranberries in the recipe to make plain scones.
