- 1 cup vanilla custard optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

- Stir in the amasi until just combined. If desired, add the vanilla custard.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently.

- Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
Keep the Rama cold before cutting it into the dry mix for flaky layers. Do not overwork the dough; knead gently to avoid tough scones. Brush tops with a little milk before baking for a light shine.
