Scones (Eggless Version)!!!!!

Many of us want something to munch in the evenings around 4 pm; tea time mostly!!! Tried my hand making these scones – I have to admit these are super easy and quick to make. Does not require much effort. Let’s get going with this easy recipe.

Ingredients Required:

Ingredients	Quantity
All purpose flour/Maida	2 cups
Butter	1/4th cup
Salt	A pinch
Baking powder	1 tbsp
Milk	3/4th cup
Sugar	5 tbsp
Oregano	½ tsp
Any other herb mixed with chilli flakes of your choice	½ tsp

Method of preparation:

• Take a bowl and add flour, butter, salt, baking powder and herbs to it. Mix all these ingredients with your finger until all the ingredients blend well.

• Mix sugar with milk, let the sugar completely dissolve in the milk and then add to the above mixture until a soft dough is formed. The dough is soft hence we don’t need to rest the dough unlike lot of other recipes for scones I have come across. This dough will feel smooth to our fingers.

• Sprinkle some flour on the countertop and roll the dough on it with the help of a rolling pin. The thickness should be about 1/2 inch, now with the help of cookie cutter cut them into round and place them on the baking tray. (I didn't have a cookie cutter hence had to make do with a firm cap of a bottle). The result using cookie cutter will be even better.

• If you wish to apply or brush the top of these with milk (gives it a good finish and tastes better too)
• Bake these at 425 F for 10 minutes.
• These scones turn slightly brown. Scones are now ready to be savoured.

Note:  the quantity of herbs used here is less as i wanted to make this as per my liking however you may increase the quantity if you wish to.

Enjoy!!!!
