Name: Best Ever Scones
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 3 cups Edmonds standard flour; 6 tsp Edmonds baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; 1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk; 75g butter

Ingredients

3 cups Edmonds standard grade flour
5 tsp Edmonds baking powder
¼ tsp salt
extra Meadow Fresh milk
75g butter (or Olivani Spread)
1 to 1 ½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately

Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

DON'T USE THIS RECIPE!! I usually use a different recipe, but since I grew up with Edmunds and trusted their recipes, I tried this. I should've read the comments. Way way to much baking powder. 2 teaspoons would've been enough but all I cld taste was baking powder. I did side eye the amount as I've never seen recipes that need that much but thought "it's Edmunds, they must know what they're doing". It was yuck, i had to throw them out. If U do use this recipe try 2 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 5 or just go to a different site for a recipe. I already felt 5 seemed a bit much and hoped it wldnt taste like baking powder but my fears came true. I also realise Edmunds don't test most of their recipes. 5 TSP OF BAKING POWDER IS TOO MUCH!! Use less or just find a different recipe

Reply from Edmonds:

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and sorry to hear the scones didn’t turn out how you’d hoped. The 5 teaspoons of baking powder is correct for the full batch of fluffy scones, but we know everyone’s tastes (and baking powder brands) can vary. Some bakers do prefer a milder rise, so reducing the amount slightly would work if that's you preference. Happy Baking!
