- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Butter:
- Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub or cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the Ultramel custard, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Mix Dough:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Shape Scones:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Milk:
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a dollop of Ultramel custard!
These Ultramel Scones should be light, fluffy, and have a delightful custard flavor. Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences.
