🔪 How to Make Ultramel Scones
1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Sugar
- Salt
These dry ingredients form the structure of your scones.
2️⃣ Cut in the Cold Butter
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture.
Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Why this matters:
Cold butter creates flaky layers and helps the scones rise tall.
3️⃣ Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
- Ultramel custard
- Milk or cream
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
The Ultramel adds moisture and flavor, giving the scones their signature softness.
4️⃣ Bring the Dough Together
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
Do not overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
If using raisins, chocolate chips, or zest, fold them in now.
5️⃣ Shape the Scones
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Pat it gently into a round disk about 1-inch thick.
Use a knife to cut into 8 triangles or use a biscuit cutter for round scones.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6️⃣ Brush and Sprinkle
Brush tops with a little:
- Milk or egg wash
- Sprinkle lightly with sugar for crunch
This gives your scones a beautiful golden finish.
7️⃣ Bake
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
When done, they should be firm on the outside but soft and fluffy inside.
8️⃣ Serve Warm
Drizzle warm Ultramel over the top or serve on the side.
Enjoy with:
- Butter
- Jam
- Whipped cream
- Honey
- Fresh fruit
These scones are best served warm and fresh.
⭐ Tips for the Softest Ultramel Scones
✔ Use Cold Butter
The key to flaky scones is cold butter that melts slowly during baking.
✔ Don’t Overwork the Dough
Mix just until combined—overmixing toughens the scones.
✔ Chill the Dough Before Baking
10 minutes in the fridge helps them hold shape and rise higher.
✔ Use Fresh Baking Powder
Old baking powder leads to flat scones.
✔ Add More Ultramel for Extra Moisture
If the dough looks too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons more Ultramel.
