Description
Traditional British scones and biscuits made with flour, cream, sugar, and fat, characterized by a flaky texture and sweet flavor.
Technical
The Maillard reaction and gelatinization of starches occur during baking, contributing to the formation of new flavor compounds, browning, and texture. Protein coagulation and the creation of steam pockets between layers of fat and dough also play a role in the final product.
