Tips & Tricks
- For an extra flavour kick we love to add ½ a cup of chopped Pams Preserved Ginger to the scone mix.
- Brush the tops lightly with cream and sprinkle with sugar for extra golden scones.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pams Dates, chopped
- 2 Pams Pears, diced
- 4 cups Pams Self-Raising Flour
- ¼ cup Pams White Sugar
- 300ml bottle Pams Cream
- 1 cup Pams Dry Ginger Ale
Method
- Place the flour, sugar, pears and dates in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the cream and ginger ale to the dry ingredients and use two knives to mix into a soft, sticky dough (keeping the bubbles).
- Lightly flour the bench and your hands, then tip the dough onto the bench and knead lightly into a ball. Then gently press the dough out until it is 2cm thick.
- Using a 6cm round cutter or a clean tin can, cut 12 rounds from the dough and gently place on a large baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake in the oven at 220°C for 15 minutes or until the scones are starting to turn golden and are cooked through. Leave to cool on a wire rack covered with a clean tea towel.
