Name: Best Ever Scones
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 3 cups Edmonds standard flour; 6 tsp Edmonds baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; 1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk; 75g butter

Ingredients

3 cups Edmonds standard grade flour
5 tsp Edmonds baking powder
¼ tsp salt
extra Meadow Fresh milk
75g butter (or Olivani Spread)
1 to 1 ½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately

Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

DON'T USE THIS RECIPE!! I usually use a different recipe, but since I grew up with Edmunds and trusted their recipes, I tried this. I should've read the comments. Way way to much baking powder. 2 teaspoons would've been enough but all I cld taste was baking powder. I did side eye the amount as I've never seen recipes that need that much but thought "it's Edmunds, they must know what they're doing". It was yuck, i had to throw them out. If U do use this recipe try 2 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 5 or just go to a different site for a recipe. I already felt 5 seemed a bit much and hoped it wldnt taste like baking powder but my fears came true. I also realise Edmunds don't test most of their recipes. 5 TSP OF BAKING POWDER IS TOO MUCH!! Use less or just find a different recipe

Reply from Edmonds:

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and sorry to hear the scones didn’t turn out how you’d hoped. The 5 teaspoons of baking powder is correct for the full batch of fluffy scones, but we know everyone’s tastes (and baking powder brands) can vary. Some bakers do prefer a milder rise, so reducing the amount slightly would work if that's you preference. Happy Baking!

Made by substituting the butter for 35g margarine and 35g coconut oil, softened. This turned out very well as a dairy free version!

I substitute it with self raising flour and you don’t get the baking powder taste. The best scones recipe ever!!
