  • Enjoy warm or cooled.

Yield 10 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, well-chilled and cut into pieces (1 stick)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup buttermilk (or more)
1 egg, beaten to blend (glaze)
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Butter baking sheet.
  • Sift flour,baking powder,baking soda and salt into medium bowl.
  • Cut in 1/2 cup butter until coarse meal forms.
  • Make well in center of dry ingredients; add eggs,honey,sesame oil and 1/3 cup buttermilk to well and blend with fork.
  • Stir into dry ingredients, adding enough buttermilk to make sticky but workable dough.
  • Gently pat dough into 1-inch thick round on floured surface.
  • Cut dough into 10 wedges, cutting straight down with sharp,floured knife.
  • Brush each wedge lightly with glaze.
  • Place sesame seeds on plate; dip glazed top of each wedge into seeds.
  • Arrange sesame side up on prepared sheet, placing 1/2 inch apart.
  • Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot with butter.
  • Dip top of each.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the scones will be. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create flaky scones. Cut the butter into small pieces and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to handle. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overbake the scones. Overbaking will make the scones dry and crumbly. Bake the scones just until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Sesame scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scones every time. Enjoy these scones with your favorite spread, such as butter, jam, or clotted cream.
