1
I use the honey flavored roasted peanuts sold in stores like Kaldi.
-
2
Add the homemade hotcake mix ingredients (or the store bought mix) to a bowl.
-
3
Place the butter on top.
-
4
Cover the butter with flour from the edges to form a flour membrane.
-
5
Hold the whisk vertically and repeatedly stab the butter to cut it up.
-
6
It will form little balls like minced meat.
-
7
Be careful not to knead it in!
-
8
When the butter has formed little balls of dough, add the nuts and roughly stir them in.
-
9
Add the milk and cut it in without kneading.
-
10
When the flour has almost been completely blended in, stop mixing right away and use your hands to bring it together in one lump.
-
11
It's okay to strongly bring it together!
-
12
If you have the time, cover it in plastic wrap and let it chill for 15 minutes.
-
13
Use a rolling pin (or your palm) over the wrap to flatten and stretch it out.
-
14
Dust with a light layer of flour.
-
15
Fold the dough in half and push to stretch it out again.
-
16
Fold it in half again and repeat 3 times.
-
17
(You don't need to be gentle while stretching it out like when you're making cookies)
-
18
Roll it out with a rolling pin into a 3-4 cm thick oblong shape, as seen in the picture.
-
19
Divide it into halves from the center of the dough.
-
20
Next, divide the halves into diagonal halves to form triangles.
-
21
From this size, you can get 4 scones.
-
22
You can change the size if you want to make 8 scones.
-
23
Cut off the top, bottom, and both sides.
-
24
Combine them into one clump to make one more scone for tasting.
-
25
Cutting off the sides lets the dough crack easily while baking.
-
26
Preheat an oven to 200C and then lower it to 180C and bake for 15-20 minutes.
-
27
If making 8 smaller scones, bake for 15 minutes.
-
28
Once the bottom of the scones have turned golden brown, they are finished.
