Рецепт Recipe For Choc Chip Scones
It seems my blog has a small problem. My post for Sunday did not push itself through and my saved post for Choc Chip Scones published in the unedited format. So, this is the one that was meant to be live yesterday! Thank you Mandy for the heads up!
This year for International Scone Week hosted by Celia from Fig Jam And Lime Cordial I have chosen to make Choc Chip Scones using the cocoa nibs I bought a few months back. I used a recipe from Paul Hollywood’s 100 Great Breads and once again I had a few problems with the recipe. I had to add more flour but this might have been due to the fact that I chose to use up the spelt flour I had in my fridge. I was also amazed at how much baking powder the recipe uses but it did not leave a residual taste and so I can only say that yes, you need that much baking powder! The recipe told me to roll out the dough to 5cm and I wonder if being a UK book they meant 5″ which is 2cm. I checked all his scone recipes and they all say 5cm but I chose to roll it out thinner. I also had to bake the scones for longer than in the recipe but this could be all to do with my oven and the flour I used, as each flour reacts a different way. These might not look like ordinary, normal scones on the inside, but they taste and smell and look like scones on the outside.
