The Ingredients: Foundation of Flavor

  1. Flour – The type of flour used in scone-making can dramatically affect the texture. For ULTRAMEL scones, we recommend using self-raising flour for its convenience and reliable rise. If self-raising flour isn’t available, you can substitute with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder (2 teaspoons per cup of flour).
  2. Sugar – While traditional scones aren’t very sweet, the ULTRAMEL scones use a bit more sugar to balance the custard’s richness. Fine granulated sugar is preferred for its ability to dissolve easily and evenly distribute sweetness.
  3. Butter – Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed, is crucial for achieving flaky layers and a rich flavor. The cold butter will steam in the oven, creating tender pockets in the dough.
  4. ULTRAMEL Custard – This is the star ingredient that sets these scones apart. ULTRAMEL custard is known for its smooth, creamy texture and vanilla flavor, which enriches the scones with both moisture and taste.
  5. Eggs – Eggs contribute to the structure and color of the scones. They help bind the ingredients together and result in a golden-brown crust when brushed on top before baking.
  6. Milk – A splash of milk helps to soften the dough, making it easier to handle and contributing to the final texture of the scone.
  7. Vanilla Extract – A teaspoon of vanilla enhances the custard’s flavor, adding a depth and warmth that complements the sweetness.
