ULTRAMEL SCONES RECIPE

Soft, fluffy, creamy scones made with Ultramel for extra richness, tenderness, and amazing flavor.

Ingredients

  • 7 cups cake flour

  • 7 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1½ cups sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 cups Ultramel Custard (or enough to form a soft dough)

  • 250g cold butter (optional but recommended for richer scones)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)

Note: Some versions use ONLY Ultramel for the liquid. If you prefer lighter scones, add ½ cup cold milk as needed.

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

  • cake flour

  • baking powder

  • sugar

Mix well so the baking powder is evenly spread through the flour.

2. Add the Butter (Optional but Perfect for Bakery Softness)

Crumble cold butter into the flour mixture using your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
This step makes your scones:

  • softer

  • richer

  • more fluffy

(If you want a lighter scone, skip the butter.)

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

  • 4 eggs

  • Ultramel custard

  • vanilla essence

Whisk until smooth and creamy.

4. Bring the Dough Together

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Use a spatula or your hands to gently bring the dough together.

You’re looking for a soft, slightly sticky dough — not stiff.
If the dough feels dry, add more Ultramel a little at a time.

5. Shape the Scones

Lightly flour your surface.
Gently press the dough down until it’s about 1½ inches thick.
Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out your scones.

Avoid overworking the dough — it makes scones tough.

6. Rest (Optional but Recommended)

Let the cut scones rest for 10 minutes.
This helps them rise beautifully in the oven.

7. Bake

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place your scones on a greased or lined baking tray.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and risen.

8. Serve

Serve warm with:

  • more Ultramel

  • jam

  • whipped cream

  • butter

These scones stay soft even the next day!

Tips for Perfect Ultramel Scones

✔ Don’t overmix the dough — it keeps them fluffy.
✔ Cold ingredients = better rise.
✔ Ultramel adds moisture, so the dough should be soft.
✔ Bake immediately after shaping for best height.
