Mixing Wet Ingredients for English Scones For A Tea Party

Video Transcript

"All right I'm just shaking into the dry ingredients roughly half a cup of cranberries. You can really use any dried fruit that you like, berry, I would stick to. Blueberries, dried strawberries are really lovely, dried cherries. Today I'm using cranberries. So to add to this we're going to do our wet ingredients. Now do you remember how I said that these scones had a secret ingredient to them? Well this is it. These aren't proper English scones I suppose because there's no cream in them at all. It's coconut milk. I'll tell you how I came up with the coconut milk. When my roommate and I moved into our first apartment after a residence in college, the previous tenant left in the kitchen all these cans and cans of coconut milk. We're thinking there is only so much coconut curry we can make, so what are we going to do with this. I wonder if we can make scones with it? And we tried it and it worked really beautifully. So that's how I got to this recipe. So just literally dump it all in. And with a spatula combine it. Now it's going to be very wet. It"s a very wet kind of dough. Needs a little bit of working it. OK so now it's starting to come together. Just get it coming together until the edges of the bread can collect all the flour. That's starting to look somewhat like a manageable dough to me. Make sure that it is really fully combined. And that the cranberries are of course evenly distributed. I'm going to on my clean counter here shake out some flour. Transfer the dough to the surface and pat it down into a shape , a rounded shape that's very sticky at first. You even have to put some on top. Not too much because then it'll get tough. You're going to shape it to a round piece and then we're going to cut with the cookie cutters."
