Almost all my post start with a little story (except when I don't have much any time )
Long time I was thinking in prepare anotherscones recipe, like my mom, scones are typically English and are round because you eat with tea and you can put butter or jam or whatever you want.
It was a beautiful day when I took the pictures. A sunny day in autumn. (Today Is really cloudy)
My mom always made scones for Birthdays but now she is tired
so when she wants something special, I cook or bake for her.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Scones para el té
Tenia muchas ganas de hacer scones. Es que habitualmente mi mamá hacia en la casa . Ahora no mucho porque se cansa al estar de pie.
La cosa es que hice esta receta diferente a la mia y me gustó harto, quedan suaves y deliciosos. Creo que el yogurt griego es un aporte.
Que los disfruten con una taza de té o café . Besos
Ingredientes
3 tazas de harina sin polvos de hornear
1/2 cucharada de azúcar
2 y 1/2 cucharaditas polvos de hornear
1 cucharadita de bicarbonato
1 cucharadita de sal
3/4 taza de mantequilla fria en lo posible sin sal
cortada en trozos
3/4 taza de yogurt griego frio
1 huevo batido
3 cucharadas de agua fria
1 huevo batido para pintar los scones
Preparacion
Precalentar el horno a 180°.
Preparar 1 o 2 bandejas con papel mantequilla y reservar.
En un bol mezclar la harina, azucar, polvos de hornear, bicarbonato y sal.
Agregar la mantequilla en trozos usando los dedos haciendo migajas,
Trabajar la masa hasta que parezca una masa migosa.
En un bol pequeño batir el yogurt griego, huevo y agua.
Agregar los ingrediente liquidos a la mezcla de harina, revolviendo bien . Colocar la masa en la mesa enharinada y amasar solo un poco hasta que la masa tenga un aspecto suave para hacer los scones. No amasar demasiado.
Usando un rodillo estirar la masa no muy delgada. (se puede agregar un poco de harina.) La idea es que los scones sean mas bien altos no planos.
Con un cortador de galletas redondo cortar y colocar en las bandeja.
Unir todo de nuevo y cortar el resto.
Con el huevo batido pintar los scones. Llevar a horno y cocinar por lo menos 15 minutos o hasta que esten de un ligero color dorado.
Servir con mantequilla, miel, mermelada o palta.
Mmmmmm..., che belli e buoni saranno, non li ho mai fatti, ma devo rimediare !
