FAQS
How can I make custard powder scones gluten-free?
To make gluten-free custard powder scones, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with the texture. The rest of the ingredients can remain the same.
What can I use instead of margarine in custard powder scones?
If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute it with unsalted butter or coconut oil. Both options will provide a rich flavor, but keep in mind that coconut oil may impart a slight coconut taste to the scones.
How should I store leftover custard powder scones?
To store leftover custard powder scones, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before freezing.
What are some good pairings for custard powder scones?
Custard powder scones pair wonderfully with clotted cream and jam for a traditional treat. You can also enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee. For a twist, try serving them with lemon curd or a fruit compote.
Can I add fruits or nuts to the custard powder scone recipe?
Absolutely! You can enhance your custard powder scones by adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, or nuts such as chopped walnuts or almonds. Just fold them into the dough before rolling it out for added flavor and texture.
