I love scones. It comes in all kinds: sweet, savory, healthy, gourmet, bacon and maple (Alex loves it), etc. I decided to start making a kind of my own that combines classic ingredients.
Fat people (like me, let’s face it!) Will love this recipe without having to add the chocolate and can even replace the butter with coconut oil and the sugar with coconut sugar.

Sometimes we tend to turn corners when it comes to zesting an orange, but I want to tell you that every little bit is essential in this recipe.
The taste of these scones is truly amazing, and it’s a heartwarming treat. I was excited to have this for breakfast the next day after making them, but I was too naive to think they would last longer than 24 hours.

What’s the story?

Scones are NOT rolls.
They’re for the most part made with cold spread and they’re improved.
Rolls, essentially the ones I grew up with, are made with fat or vegetable shortening and are generally unsweetened. They’re intended to be a transporter for spread and jam or coagulated cream.
Except if you’re in the UK, wherein case rolls are treats, and scones are … rolls.

Confounded at this point?

It’s more awful when you understand that certain individuals give the signal so it rhymes with gone and others (like me) say it to rhyme with stone. I’ve been informed that I’m very off-base.
The Brits – and wellbeing nuts – will demand that these cakes aren’t scones, regardless of how I need to articulate the word.
They’re too high in sugar, have an excessive amount of margarine, a lot of weighty creams, such a large number of delectable increments … goodness, well, that truly sounds Terrible, isn’t that right?
(No, no, no, it sounds delectable. Also, it is.)

I will step my feet and say these brilliant cakes are scones, and I believe you will cherish them – regardless you need to call them.
These eminent little quick bread are totally wanton with margarine, cream, acrid cream, and egg, which makes them ideal for Christmas morning. Also you can make them as a dessert for a delicious meal of Spicy Cajun Snapper & Mango-Avocado Salsa.

Methods Of Cutting

There are 2 common methods of cutting buns: The first is traditional circles, which are made by patting the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle, then cutting into pieces with a cookie-cutter. This method will leave you with some extra dough which you will then need to press again on another piece and repeat the process.

The second method leaves you with no leftover dough. Simply press the dough into a circle, then cut it into 8 pieces, like a pizza. This produces 8 large loaves. For 12 rolls, you can cut the dough in half, then pat each half in a circle and cut into 6 wedges. The only rule is that each circle should be 1 inch thick (or you can experiment with it and make them thinner or thicker as you like). If you are making buns, you may need to reduce the baking time.
when making these berry scones, it is important to keep everything very cold.

I recommend saving your flour, bowls, and utensils for a few minutes before making the buns. Just remove the frozen berries when you’re about to use them. I put my flour in the freezer after adding the berries to make sure everything is nice and cold while mixing the wet ingredients. Normally I take my buns apart before baking but found they were too wet for that. Separating them for 20 minutes leaves them firm enough to separate to finish cooking and allow the edges to become a little crisper.
