Here's my recipe for scones which turns out somewhere between a bun and a cookie. I'm using chocolate as filling, but you can leave it out or add your own filling such as berries, apple, dried fruits, etc.
Ingredients:280g flour
50g sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
115g cold butter
160 ml of buttermilk*
100g dark chocolate
Egg wash:
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Cinnamon sprinkle:
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
* If you haven't got buttermilk, make it yourself: Mix 160ml full fat milk with 2/3 tbsp lemon juice and leave it 5-10 minutes.
Turn on oven at 200º. Mix flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla.
Cut the butter into small pieces with a cold knife.
Mix in with flour using a fork or a food processor. Keep it cool. You don't want the butter to melt. Keep mixing until it looks like wet sand.
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside for later.
Make an egg wash by mixing the egg with milk. Set aside.
Chop the chocolate. It's fine if you end up with pieces in all shapes and sizes.
Mix it in with the flour.
Add buttermilk.
Gather it to a ball.
Place it on table with flour. Knead it quickly 4-5 times but not more. Again, you don't want the butter to melt.
Press it down to a circle. Cut it in 4 pieces and each quarter into 3.
Place them on baking paper. Brush them with the egg wash.
Sprinkle them with the cinnamon. Bake 15 minutes at 200º celcius oven.
Breakfast is served.
