ULTRAMEL SCONES

Here’s a recipe for Ultramel Scones, a delightful treat made with Ultramel custard to add a rich and creamy flavor:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup Ultramel custard
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in Butter:
   • Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the Ultramel custard, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. If using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them in now. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Shape the Dough:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake:
   • Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional Ultramel custard, jam, or butter.

Enjoy your delicious Ultramel Scones!
