Quick and Easy Scones Recipe
In this recipe, I will share with you the process of making quick and easy scones, a delightful morning treat or teatime treat. It is irresistibly easy and fast to make scones from scratch. These delectable treats perfectly complement a cup of coffee or tea, and I personally love to pair them with salted butter. You can opt for plain scones or add various dry fruits of your choice. Whether you prefer to serve them with butter, jam, or cream, these scones are a guaranteed guilty pleasure!
Ingredients:
To prepare these scrumptious scones, gather the following ingredients:
- 500 grams of white flour.
- 50 grams of unsalted butter.
- One teaspoon of sugar.
- Five teaspoons of baking powder.
- Two eggs.
- 250 ml of milk.
- Yolk for glazing.
Instructions:
To whip up these fast and easy scones, follow these steps:
- Preheat your oven before starting.
- Begin by combining all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Next, incorporate the unsalted butter into the flour mixture.
- Add the eggs to the mixture.
- Gradually pour in the milk, adjusting the amount as needed. Different flours absorb liquids differently, so use your judgment to achieve the desired dough consistency.
- Transfer the dough onto a surface or a mat and gently roll it out. Avoid adding excessive flour, as this may result in heavy scones. Use a cutter of your choice to shape the scones.
- Brush the surface of each scone with the yolk. Then, place them in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes.

What happens next? And how do you save the remaining scones?
Once the scones are baked, allow them to cool before serving. Feel free to pair them with your favorite accompaniments. For any leftover scones, store them in a container and enjoy them the following day. These delectable treats are perfect to share with loved ones or to bring along as a quick breakfast or snack for your co-workers while discussing work.
What should I do with the remaining yolk mixture?
Food is precious. Therefore, don’t waste the extra yolk mix it with a little milk. Turn it into a simple banana-egg mixture and savor it alongside the scones or toast. I have a recipe related to this; you can check it out here.
