Recipe for Firm Jello


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • STEPS scones ingredients

    1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in chocolate chips or ingredient of your choice.
    3. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.

    4. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
    5. scones rolled on flat surface

    6. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7 to 8 inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar.















    7. sconed cut for baking

    8. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.












    TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

  • Many people enjoy scones are best at room temperature but we like it warm with a pat of butter.

  • Store extra scones, by wrapping in plastic wrap once cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to one day or frozen for up to 3 months. If frozen, allow to thaw in its packaging and warm in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes before serving.
  • For a faster way to mix ingredients, use a food processor. Just mix the dry ingredients and frozen butter (cut in pieces) in a processor for a few seconds until well blended, add wet ingredients and pulse until well blended, add raisins or any other fruits or chips you like, just pulse it a couple of times to mix, take the batter out, pat or roll it flat and cut your scones.
  • The batter needs to be well mixed but do not over mix and try to get it smooth – scones are supposed to look crumbly.
