These scones are perfect to serve as part of a traditional afternoon tea. They are packed full of fruit and the brown sugar gives them a lovely flavour and colour. These recipes make 6 fruit scones, or 5 plain scones. Fate Scones freeze well.
INGREDIENTS
For Fate Fruit Scones
200g Fate Low Protein All Purpose Mix
50g butter or block margarine
pinch salt
30g light soft brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
100g mixed dried fruit
150ml water
extra Fate Low Protein All Purpose Mix to shape
For Fate Plain Scones
200g Fate Low Protein All Purpose Mix
50g butter or block margarine
pinch salt
50g light soft brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
120ml water
extra Fate Low Protein All Purpose Mix to shape
Preheat the oven Gas Mark 7 220ºC. 425ºF
Place the Fate Low Protein All Purpose Mix into a bowl. Rub in the butter or margarine. Stir in the salt, sugar and baking powder. If you are making Fruit Scones stir in the dried fruit. Add all the water and stir well, using a metal spoon, for about 30 seconds. The mixture will be very soft, but leave it for about 2-3 mins and it will thicken.
Turn the mixture onto a work surface lightly dusted with Fate All Purpose mix. You do not have to knead the mixture at all. Just dip your hands in a little extra Fate All Purpose Mix, and gently pat the scone mixture into a piece about 3 - 4cm thick. Do not pat the mixture out too thinly.
Cut into rough squares or use a biscuit cutter and cut into 5 or 6 rounds. Place onto a greased baking tray, and bake for about 12-15 mins until risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
