Unsalted butter

Buttermilk: buttermilk enriches your scones’ flavour making it more creamy and rich in flavour.

 Unsalted butter vs salted butter in scones?

A rule of thumb when it comes to baking is to always opt for using unsalted butter. Different brands produce butter with varying amounts of salt, which makes it challenging for bakers to control the salt content in this self raising flour scone recipe. By choosing unsalted butter, you have the advantage of complete control over the salt levels and can ensure that your recipes turn out as intended. This is particularly important when it comes to achieving the desired balance of flavors in your self raising flour scones.

Butter alternatives for unsalted butter

Baking margarine

Normal margarine spread

Salted butter

Ps: if you are going to use a substitute, then do not add the recipe salt requirements.

Is vanilla essence same as vanilla extract?

No, vanilla essence is the more processed version of the extract, hence why it is notably cheaper than vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is actually made from vanilla bean that has been soaked in ethyl alcohol, hence why it has a stronger vanilla scent and taste.

Which one is best for baking?

Vanilla extract, however, vanilla essence is way friendlier on the pocket and returns round about the same results. If you want to stand out, then use half the measurement required of extract instead.

Buttermilk substitutes:

 I cup milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, place it all in a cup and allow it to ‘curdle’ for about 5 minutes then it should be good to go.

Prepare the scones for baking

If you plan to bake the scones on the same day, lightly flour a baking tray with self-raising flour. This traditional method serves as a lining or greasing technique for the tray, ensuring that the scones don’t stick during baking.

Next, roll out the dough onto a clean, floured surface until it reaches a thickness of approximately 3 cm. Using a cookie/scone cutter of your desired size, cut out the scones and place them on the prepared baking tray. Be mindful not to place the dough circles too close to each other, as they will expand while baking.

For an added touch of richness and beautiful color, brush a light egg wash on top of each scone before they go into the oven. This egg wash will contribute to the golden brown appearance of the scones, making them even more visually appealing.

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they acquire a slightly browned top and easily release from the baking tray. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the scones to ensure they are perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.
