Yeast Blackcurrant Walnut Scones

Overview

Scones are one of the first choices for a quick breakfast. Traditional scones are made with baking powder, and many baking enthusiasts who pursue nature will reject the use of baking powder. This scone is fermented with yeast, and its taste is somewhere between bread and biscuits. It has the softness of bread and the crispiness of biscuits. The taste can be sweet or salty according to your preference. You can also change the dried fruit to your preference. Easy to make, no skills required. Make the noodles at night and bake them for 15 minutes in the morning, or leave them at room temperature for about half an hour.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the blackcurrants and soak them in water, and cut the cooked walnuts into small pieces.

   

2. 2 Mix 60g of milk, one tablespoon of whole egg liquid (15ml), 15g of white sugar, and 2.5g of high-sugar resistant yeast (1/2 teaspoon) evenly.

   

3. 3 Take 125g of high-gluten flour, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, add 30g of unsalted butter cut into small pieces, and knead it into cornmeal with your hands. Be careful and rub all the butter in.

   

4. 4 Pour the liquid just mixed (Picture 2) into the kneaded flour. Knead into a smooth dough. It will be a little sticky at first, and you may suspect that you added too much liquid. Don't worry, knead it a few more times and the dough will become very smooth.

   

5. 5 Remove the blackcurrants and drain them with paper towels.

   

6. 6 Roll the dough into a round shape and sprinkle in half of the black currants and chopped walnuts.

   

7. 7 Fold the dough in half, roll it out, sprinkle in the remaining dried fruits, fold it in half, and form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

   

8. 8 Take it out the next morning, place it on the chopping board and flatten it into a large cake shape, about 1 cm thick in the middle. Use a knife to cut into 8 even pieces and brush them with egg wash.

   

9. 9 Bake the oven at 185 degrees with upper and lower heat on the middle and lower racks for 15 minutes until the top turns golden brown.

   

10. 10 Breakfast is great with milk, eggs, and fruits.
