condensed milk Scone

"condensed milk? "

Yes. Instead of milk, I'm using condensed milk to moisten the *butter+flour* mixture.

I love to change the original recipe or mix&match them with others ingredient.

so the outcome always give me a huge surprise.

Before i start, i try to google to get a scone recipe by using condensed milk. Unfortunately, no one else except me who dare to take this challenge.

Dear bakers, right now i can prove to you. Condensed milk in scone is Working!


Ingredient:
  • salted butter 35g
  • self raising flour 150g
  • baking soda 1/2 teaspoon
  • condensed milk 120ml 
 

Topping:
  • egg wash (suggest egg&milk mixture to brown the tops of the scone more)
  • berries as decoration (optional)


In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the flour and baking soda.

Cut the butter into pieces and blend into the flour mixture with pastry blender, or with your fingertips. 

The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.

Add condensed milk to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined. Do not over mix.

Chill the dough for at least an hour. (i fridge it overnight instead


Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough gently into a 3cm diameter round. 
Then, cut the dough into rounds. (my round cutter a tad bigger, makes about three big scone.)

Place the rounds on the prepared baking tray lining with baking paper. 

Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash.

And deco with berries. 

Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean. 
Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. 
Serve with your favorite jam or with whipped cream as you prefer. 

This scone have a very aromatic milky smell, aka 奶香. which suiting the theme of May month for Little Thumbs Up event organized by Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids, and Mui Mui from My Little Favourite DIY, hosted by Tze of Awayofmind Bakery House.
