British-Style Scones with Currants
What’s the difference between American- and British-style scones? Compared to American scones, cakelike British scones use far less butter, far more baking powder, and are brushed with a light milk-and-egg wash to add browning. The recipe in this cooking class will help you make the best British-style scones with a light and fluffy texture and not-too-sweet flavor. This course will also help you avoid common pitfalls resulting in short, pale, biscuit-like scones. You will also learn the proper technique for using a biscuit cutter and the best way to reheat scones.
