Delicious scones
by mimithorisson
250 g all-purpose flour
3 g cream of tartar
2 g baking soda
2g salt
50 g butter (softened)
25 g white sugar
120 ml milk
20 ml milk (for glazing)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
Rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the sugar and milk to mix to a soft dough.
On a slightly floured surface, knead and roll out to ball-sized portions (a bit bigger than golf balls, but if you like your scones bigger than a tennis ball size). Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10-15 max (depending on size of balls) minutes then cool on a wire rack. Serve with butter, clotted cream and jam. My kids prefer nutella!

[…] of it the house smelt like sugar and spice. I transferred the jam to little glass jars, prepared my scones recipe, which I make for my family several times a week. We had a lovely breakfast, the sun was […]
Dear Mimi, I have been looking for cream of tartar but I couldn’t find any.
Where do you find it? I went to the baker’s, the pharmacist’s and to a “magasin bio”. What can I put instead? Levure de boulanger? I can’t wait to try these delicious scones!
Hi Alice! I understand your problem! That is why I ask my friends in London to send me some, or I get it at WHSmith or The real McCoy in Paris, as they sell it. You can just use the levure chimique from Alsa, just add the same amount as you would for the cream of tartar. mimix ps: When I feel extra greedy, I add 20 more g of butter to my scones. They’re a bit richer and I like that:)
