Now I'd like to start the show with a
big thank you to Calo MacKinnon, I hope I
got your name right Calo. You suggested to
me on the recent golden syrup recipe
would I make treacle scones and I did
make them actually. I did make my
homemade treacle as well, I'll be putting
that recipe up for you very shortly but
I made those treacle scones and they were
so delicious that I'm going to share the
recipe with you now these are probably one
of my favorite scones at the moment
you're going to love it.
We start with our flour, I've got 200 grams
that's about one and two-thirds of a cup
and we're just using all-purpose flour
here, you actually could use self raising
flour but if like me you're using
all-purpose flour add 2 teaspoons of
baking powder in there.
I want some spices I've got half a
teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon
of mixed spice, 25 grams or two
tablespoons of sugar us and I've got 50
grams that's about half a stick of
softened butter, just going to cut it up
and pop it in there. Now take your thumbs
and fingers and just rub the dry
ingredients together we don't want to
overwork it but we're going to make a
nice breadcrumb. So now I've rub the
butter into the dry ingredients got this
nice loose crumb into that we're going
to add a quarter-cup of treacle. Now I've
got a cup here and I'm just going to
line the inside with a little bit of
cooking oil and now we're going to take
that beautiful treacle. Now by just oiling
the cup it just comes away nice and
clean like that. Now start to cut that
treacle in with the flour there,
using the same Cup I've got about
quarter of a cup of full cream milk and I'll
put almost all of it in there, might keep
a little bit back. Now take that off of
the fork now and we want this dough to
bind together, hopefully there's enough
milk
otherwise we'll add that other little bit
in, actually I can tell from the feel of
this we're not going to need that extra
bit of milk and we don't want to
overwork this dough but we're going to
pull it, form it up into a circle.
I'm just going to dust a little flour
over my countertop I'm just using my
hands to pat down the dough we don't need
to roll this out. Then I'm going to take
my heart shaped cookie cutter going to
push it down and cut out our first scone
with this amount of dough I should be
able to make four of my heart shaped
scones, of course if you want to make more
you can just double the recipe and I'll pop
that scone down on a lined baking tray
Now I have those delicious treacle
scones ready to go in the oven I've
preheated that 200 degrees Celsius that's
about 400 fahrenheit and we only have to
bake these for about 10 to 12 minutes. My
this place smells so good now I'm going
to let them cool down a little bit and
I'll show you how we're going to serve them.
ok
Michele's in the other room, the scones
have cooled down and I'm going to prep one
valentine style for her, now of course if your just
doing these a standard scone it doesn't
matter but you should still take the
effort to present them nicely. Now a good
scone should not even really need
cutting we should be able to pull it
apart, just going to poke some little
perforations around the outside here, pull
that scone open, just look how gorgeous
that is I've got some mascarpone cream
here now you could use any cream you
like, I'm just going to pop some little
kisses around here, I'm going to trickle
some beautiful dark treacle over the top
of the cream just to give it some extra
flavor.
I've got a little powdered sugar, over
the top, over that cookie as well, stand
my little biscuit on the side there. Now
going to give her a coffee and there you
have it a gorgeous dark treacle scone
ready for the person you love.
so I always like to try these on camera
here is mine still just a little bit
warm. My they're good as I say it's like the
burnt corner of a beautiful pie but all
packed into one delicious scone. If you
decide to make these and why shouldn't you
you really should, share the love, give me
the thumbs-up and whatever shape you
make them in, send me a picture across on any
social media you like, be good and I will
see you in the next video, take care
