Golden syrup scones served with whipped butter, a decadent treat for afternoon tea.
Ingredients:
  • 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust
  • 70g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 75g chilled butter, chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) pouring cream
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) golden syrup, plus extra, to serve (optional)
  • 80g butter, at room temperature
  • 53.60 gm golden syrup
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Grease a baking tray and sprinkle with flour, tapping out any excess.
  • In a large bowl, gently sift the flour, then mix in the sugar. Incorporate the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Create a well in the middle and pour in the milk, cream, and half of the golden syrup.
  • Take a flat-bladed knife and gently mix until everything is evenly combined and the mixture starts coming together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape the dough into a 2cm-thick disc using your hands. Cut out 12 rounds with a 5.5cm pastry cutter, reshaping the dough as necessary.
  • Place the scones on the tray with enough space between each other. Bake for about 17 minutes or until they turn golden and sound hollow when tapped lightly on top.
  • Prepare the whipped butter by blending the butter and golden syrup until light and creamy.
  • Gently coat the warm scones with the leftover golden syrup, and enjoy them with whipped butter and extra golden syrup on the side, if desired.
