Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. 2
   In a medium-sized bowl bowl, mix the flour, the baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the sugar.
3. 3
   Add the diced butter.
4. 4
   Mix with fingertips to obtain a dough that looks like a coarse sand.
5. 5
   Add the egg and, gradually, the milk. Mix to obtain a homogeneous paste.
6. 6
   Add the dried fruit and the crushed hazelnuts.
7. 7
   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2 to 2.5 cm.
8. 8
   Cut your scones with a cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Brush the scones with a little milk and bake for 15 to 20 minutes so that they rise properly and are very lightly browned.
