Recipe for the Famous Scones from the Chic Waldorf Astoria

There is a new edition of the renowned Afternoon Tea at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Amsterdam. And believe us: you won’t want to miss it. Because the savory and sweet bites served here are nothing short of delicious works of art. Of course, the famous scones are not to be missed. And generous as we are, we’d love to share the recipe for these scones so you can make them at home.

How to make the scones

• Preheat the oven to 165 degrees.
• Mix all the dry ingredients with the butter until you have a crumbly batter.
• In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients together. Pour the wet batter into the crumbly mixture and mix for 10 minutes.
• Flour the counter and a rolling pin, and roll out the dough into a large sheet so you can cut out 12 scones with a round cookie cutter.
• Then place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the egg mixture over the circles.
• Bake the scones for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown.
• Delicious with clotted cream and your favorite jam!
