Cutting English Scones For A Tea Party

Video Transcript

"And the last thing we have to do for our scones is cut them out. So I've got a cookie cutter here. You'll see sometimes that the cranberries won't cut perfectly so all you have to do is sort of tuck the end bits underneath and that nicely disguises everything. It's a wet dough so it can be sometimes a little tricky to handle. Tuck that in as best you can. I've got a particularly wet area here. Again tuck the cranberry underneath so that it's round and uniform where as round and uniform as possible. If you need any extra flour to keep it from getting really sticky, go right ahead. That one cut nicely. Hands sort of get sticky at this point. And two more. And lastly, you can rework this scone dough to get a few more out of this, but for the moment I am just going to do these six. You can totally get a couple other ones to sample before your guests come. I've got an egg here which I have beat to make an egg wash, because this is going to make them get beautiful and golden. Brush the tops slightly and I have preheated my oven to 425 and then these are going to bake and get beautiful, pop up get golden brown in about twelve to fifteen minutes. "
