Scones (Harrods Recipe)

Based on the Harrods Scones recipe but without the raisins. In addition, the butter was closer to room temperature so quite soft.


Additional notes:
  • Baked for 17 min and the scones were well cooked.
  • Used a 2 inch cutter. Best to dust with flour and cut straight down. How about dipping in hot water?
  • The dough was knead for around 6 times.
  • Icing sugar was dusted on top of the cooled scones.

Taste
  • Texture: between bread and cake. Island Shangri-la is more on the bread side. The dough is rough then Island Shangri-la because of hand mixing. Less chewy then IS. Mixing with kitchen aid will produce smoother dough. Texture a little like "kwong so bang"
  • A little after taste from baking powder.
  • Smell like usual dough/butter - can add lemon/orange zest next time.
  • Sweetness is good.
