Raisin and Chocolate Chip Scones

Yeah, I finally tried this! I baked this on last Sunday morning, when I woke up and couldn't find anything to fill up my stomach. So I flipped through my recipe book and I found this recipe which I got from Florence's blog. It looks pretty simple.

I managed to get the dough done in 15 mins. However, I realized that my dough was too sticky and difficult to work with. I couldn't even knead it properly. I forced myself to look through the recipe again to find out the problem. Then, I only realized that I've added in 3 tbsp of milk instead of 3 tsp...Oh.. I was still blur early in the morning, till I made this silly mistake. Anyway, I added in some flour to 'rescue' my sticky dough, but I still didn't manage to shape the dough nicely. Luckily the results were not too bad, it was crunchy outside and soft inside. I will definitely bake this again, with the correct amount of milk next time, hehe...



My breakfast ---> Freshly baked scone served with strawberry jam...

  2. 那麵糊本來就是很黏綢,我想你會不會加太多牛奶,不過看起來成品並不差阿,感覺還不錯
    對囉!妳加葡萄乾再加巧克力豆這樣不會太甜嗎?還配草莓醬~^^還有妳葡萄乾有沒浸過萊姆酒或白酒,這樣烤起來葡萄乾才不會因為烘烤的關西变的又乾又苦ㄟ!

  4. Elin: Thanks for tagging ya, I love visiting your blog also :)Happy baking!

    Ling: 我的面糊没有太浓稠,我想是牛奶太多了,我只是加了少量的巧克力豆和葡萄干,所以不会太天。我的葡萄干没有浸過萊姆酒或白酒, 因为家里没有,所以葡萄干出来有点干。

    James: Yalo, last time I used to buy scones from supermarket also, really yummy. Hehe, orange/ apple/ pear scones? You are so creative, but that flavours are not too prominent, dunno what will it turn out, if got time I try and let you know, haha....
