INGREDIENTS
1 cup White Star Instant Maize Porridge Vanilla Flavour
1 cup cake flour
4½ tsp baking powder
50g butter, cubed and chilled
1 cup buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Apricot jam
Grated cheddar cheese
Butter, softened
Whipped cream
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC on fan-assist and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the White Star Instant Maize Porridge Vanilla Flavour, flour and baking powder together. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Create a well in the center of the flour and add the buttermilk. Gently mix with a spoon until a rough dough has formed, ensuring to not overmix.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape into a rectangle, about 2-3cm thick. *Chef’s Tip: Avoid overworking the dough to ensure the scones are fluffy & tender!
5. Using a 6cm cookie cutter or glass of a similar size, cut 6 scones out of the dough. Bring the excess dough together and cut another 2-4 scones. Place each scone on the prepared baking tray and brush with extra buttermilk. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve the scones warm with your favourite sweet & savoury toppings and ENJOY!
