Author Notes
Not quite a scone, not quite a cake, Paris Buns are a sweet, bread-like cake. Best eaten fresh from the oven with a big mug of tea! —RetroBakes
Ingredients
-
8 ounces
all-purpose flour
-
1.5 teaspoons
baking powder
-
Pinch
salt
-
4 ounces
unsalted butter
-
4 ounces
sugar
-
1
egg
-
2 ounces
milk
-
0.5 teaspoons
vanilla extract
-
pearl sugar/coarse sugar for topping
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
-
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
-
Next, cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then stir in the sugar.
-
Beat the egg, milk and vanilla together in a small bowl, then add to the rest of the mix and combine until you have a stiff dough.
-
Divide the dough into six equal sized pieces and shape, with floured hands, into flat rounds about 3in/7.5cm across.
-
Place on a lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg or milk. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. They will spread a little during baking, so don't put them too close together.
-
Bake at 375F/190C for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
