Strawberry Scones Forever

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift 175 g flour and baking powder into a bowl. Mix in 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Add butter in pieces and knead everything with your hands to a crumbly dough.

2. 2

   Mix 3 tablespoons of cream and egg, pour into a crumbly dough and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough on the floured work surface to a thickness of about 2 cm. Cut out a total of 6 circles (6 cm Ø each), knead the remaining dough again and roll out.

3. 3

   Spread the dough circles on the tray. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. Let it cool down.

4. 4

   In the meantime, wash and clean the strawberries and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size. Whip the rest of the cream and 3 tbsp. sugar until stiff. Stir in yoghurt.

5. 5

   Cut scones in half horizontally. Spread cream and strawberries on the lower halves. Place the upper halves on top. Dust with icing sugar.

6. 6

   TIP: Surprise, surprise! If you want to perfume your strawberries with an extra-fresh note, basil is the perfect choice. Mix the cleaned strawberries and 2 stems of basil loosely and leave to stand for about 1 hour. Remove the basil and arrange the strawberries.
