👩🍳 Step-by-Step: How to Make Perfect Egg-Free Scones
🥣 Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, add:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
Mix everything well so the baking powder is evenly distributed. This is the secret to fluffy scones! ✨
🧈 Step 2: Add the Butter
Add the Rama/Wooden Spoon to the dry mixture.
Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until it looks like soft crumbs.
👉 Don’t rush this step—this is where the tenderness is born!
🥛 Step 3: Pour in the Amasi
Slowly add the amasi, mixing gently with a spoon or your hands.
💡 Optional: Add 1 cup of vanilla custard here if you want richer flavor and extra softness.
Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix—gentle hands make soft scones!
✋ Step 4: Shape the Dough
Lightly flour your work surface.
Roll or press the dough to about 2–3 cm thick.
Use a round cutter or glass to cut out your scones and place them on a greased baking tray.
