Eggless Amasi Scones

🍞 Instructions

1. Preheat oven

  • Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add cold butter cubes and rub in with your fingertips (or use a pastry cutter) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Make a well in the center and pour in Amasi and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix gently with a fork or spoon until a soft dough forms — don’t overmix.

3. Shape the scones

  1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  2. Pat or roll it to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick.
  3. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
  4. Place on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching each other for softer sides (or apart for crispier ones).

4. Bake

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

5. Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or clotted cream. 🧈🍓


💡 Tips

  • For extra tenderness, handle the dough as little as possible.
  • You can brush the tops with a little Amasi or milk before baking for a lovely golden color.
  • Add raisins, currants, or grated lemon zest for a sweet twist.
