This is the closest thing we have been able to get to the real thing! (We're still working on them!)
Makes approx. 12 scones.
Ingredients:
| 1 cup white rice flour |
1/4 cup besan flour |
| 1/4 potato flour |
3/4 cup cold mashed potato |
| 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour |
1 tsp each of xantham and guar gums |
| 3/4 tsp salt |
3 tsp baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp sugar |
2 tblsp margarine |
| 2 eggs |
180ml milk |
Method:
Preheat the oven to 220C
Flour a baking tray.
Place mashed potato, eggs and milk into a blender and mix until smooth.
Mix all dry ingredients together and rub in the margarine until well mixed.
Place the potato mix into a large bowl and then fold in the dry ingredients. NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO OVER-MIX AT THIS POINT.
The mixture will be a bit sticky so make sure your work surface and hands are well floured.
WORKING VERY QUICKLY, shape the dough into a rough oblong about 2-3cm thick and cut out scones using a sharp cutter.
Place on baking tray and brush tops with a little milk.
Cook for approx. 15-20 minutes.
When cooked, remove from tray whilst still hot and wrap in a clean tea-towel.
Note:
It is very important not to take too long once the wet and dry ingredients have been mixed together as the scones will lose their light structure.
