This recipe is perfect for large gatherings, catering events, or just stocking up your freezer with the best scones in Pretoria.
Why Amasi Scones? A Taste of South Africa
Amasi, a fermented milk product similar to buttermilk, lends a unique tangy flavor and wonderful tenderness to scones. It’s a traditional South African ingredient that elevates these baked treats to a whole new level. Our customers rave about the soft texture and rich flavor of our Amasi scones – and now, you can recreate that magic in your own kitchen.
Mrs. Betty’s 10-Litre Amasi Scone Recipe
Ingredients:
- 10 kg cake flour
- 800 g baking powder
- 2 kg sugar
- 10 tsp salt
- 5 kg butter, cold and cubed
- 10 large eggs
- 5 litres Amasi
- Additional Amasi or milk for brushing
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Amasi.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times, then pat it out into a 2-inch thick round.
- Cut: Use a sharp knife or a round cookie cutter to cut out your scones.
- Brush and Bake: Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with Amasi or milk for a golden brown finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden brown.
Tips for Scone Perfection:
- Cold Butter: Keep your butter very cold. This helps create flaky layers in the scones.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough until just combined. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, leading to tougher scones.
- Sharp Cutter: Use a sharp knife or cutter to avoid twisting the dough as you cut, which can affect their rise.
- Variations: Get creative! Add dried fruit, chocolate chips, or your favorite herbs to the dough.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your scones warm with butter, jam, clotted cream, or your favorite toppings
