Irish Cream Scam
1.
Prepare various ingredients and preheat the oven to 200°C 30 minutes in advance.
2.
Pour flour, dried cranberries, baking soda, sugar, salt, and lemon zest (optional) into the cooking bowl and mix well.
3.
Dig a hole in the middle, pour honey and 140 grams of whipped cream into it, and mix well with a silicone spatula.
4.
Because different flours have different water absorption rates, do not pour the whipped cream all at once, mix well until there is no dry powder and the flour can form a dough, and the remaining whipped cream does not need to be added.
5.
Knead the dough, roll it into a 15cm diameter round cake, cover it with plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
6.
Use a knife to cut the round cake into even 8 portions, the cutting method is similar to the split butter cake.
7.
Leave the cut triangles at proper intervals and place them in the baking tray. The bakeware should be non-stick coated, like the Xuechu rimless bakeware I use, it will not stick and it is easy to demould.
8.
Put the bakeware into the middle of the oven, heat up and down at the same time, and bake at 200 degrees for about 8 minutes. Adjust the direction of the bakeware and bake for about 7-12 minutes. The specific time and temperature should be increased as appropriate according to the actual oven temperature of different ovens.
9.
The surface is light golden. At this time, if a probe thermometer is inserted into the middle of Scone, the internal temperature should be between 96 and 100 degrees.
10.
Use a metal spatula to transfer Scam to burlap or canvas, cover the surface lightly, and let it cool to room temperature.
Tips:
1. In order to make Scone swell higher and not break easily, you can press the edge of Scone dough with your fingers.
2. The prepared Scam can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for 3 months. The frozen Sakura Heat needs to be baked in an oven at 150 degrees for another 20 minutes. Unbaked Scam can be sealed and frozen for 3 months. But the fluffiness of frozen scones is not as good as baked directly.
3. Some recipes replace baking soda powder with baking powder. Baking soda powder is sodium bicarbonate, which decomposes when exposed to heat, making it fluffy and crispy. I use baking soda from Ganzhiyuan, which has a white and delicate texture and high safety. However, the capacity of a bag is too large, so it needs to be sealed and stored after opening, otherwise it will be prone to deliquesce.
