- Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease one or two baking trays or line them with parchment paper.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Sifting helps create lighter, fluffier scones.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy and well combined.
- Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla essence if using.
- Combine with the flour: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the Ultramel custard. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Prepare the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently bring it together with your hands, then flatten or roll it to approximately 2–3 cm thick.
- Cut the scones: Use a round cookie or scone cutter to cut out the dough. Place each piece onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between them.
- Brush the tops: For a beautiful golden finish, lightly brush the tops with a little beaten egg or milk.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until the scones have risen and the tops are beautifully golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are especially delicious while still warm.
Serve your Ultramel Scones with butter, jam, whipped cream, or extra vanilla custard for an indulgent treat. They’re soft enough to enjoy on their own but even better with your favorite topping.
These golden, fluffy scones are the kind of homemade treat that disappears quickly from the table! 😍☕
