Rikura at Home VOL.1 "How to Make Flower Bean Scones"

How to make it

1. Place flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and mix lightly with a fork.
   (*When preparing the ingredients, preheat the oven to 200°C for 10 to 15 minutes.)
   
2. Put the unsalted butter, which has been cut into small pieces, into a bowl and mix it in a cutting motion using a knife or fork. (*Mix it while keeping an eye on it until the flour and butter are mixed together until they are light and fluffy. It's okay if some of the butter remains rough! Also, on special occasions, you can splurge and use 100g of butter to make it even more delicious.)
   
3. Put the filling (adzuki beans) into a bowl and mix. There is no set gram amount, so adjust the amount so that when you cut the scones into equal pieces, the filling is evenly distributed in each piece. (*You can use any filling you like! Chocolate chips and nuts are also recommended!)
   
4. Add the milk to the bowl and mix, adjusting the amount by eye, just as you would with scone dough to combine with the water. Once it's mixed to a certain extent, gently bring the dough together with your hands to bring the pieces together. Hana's advice: 1) Don't knead the dough. 2) Add just enough milk so that the dough doesn't stick to your hands. It's tempting to knead the dough like you would bread, but to ensure it bakes nice and fluffy, gently bring the dough together. (*The amount of milk will vary depending on the ingredients you add (berries, etc.), so the trick is to use an eyeball and the feel of it when you touch it with your hands. In the end, I used about 110ml of milk.)
   
5. Spread flour on a cutting board, place the scone dough on top and cut it in half.
   
6. Roll one of the scone dough pieces out into a round shape until it is the thickness of your palm.
   
7. Cut it however you like. (You can cut it into squares or triangles, whichever you prefer. This time, we cut it into 6 equal parts x 2 = 12 equal parts.)
   
8. Roll out the other piece of dough in the same way and cut it to your liking.
   
9. Place the cut scone dough on an oven tray lined with parchment paper, brush the surface of the scones with milk, and sprinkle a moderate amount of sugar on top. (This will help the surface get crispy when baked.)
   
10. Bake in a 200°C oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
    
11. The adzuki bean scones are ready!
