How to Make Plum Scones: Tips and Tricks

Making plum scones is easy if you know a few tips. The key is to keep the dough cold for the right texture. Use cold butter and heavy cream. Also, mix them quickly so the dough stays cool. This way, the butter makes small pieces in the dough.

Grate cold butter into the flour for better mixing. Use a box grater for this. Then, blend it with a pastry cutter or forks. This makes the dough perfect.

Always pick fresh fruit for great taste. You can use frozen fruit, but don’t thaw it before use. This stops the fruit from making the dough too wet.

When the dough is ready, add the plums and start shaping. Flour your surface lightly and flatten the dough into a circle or rectangle, 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into shapes with a round cutter or knife.

Put the scones on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Space them well. Bake at a pre-set temperature. Start at 180°C (360°F) or 170°C (340°F) for fan ovens. Then, increase the heat to get a golden crust.

Let the scones cool a bit before eating. They taste best warm, with clotted cream or honey. Store leftovers at room temperature for 3-5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Follow these tips for delicious plum scones. They’ll impress your guests and make your day brighter. Grab some plums and start baking now!
