Stove Top Scones

Cultural Context

Stove Top Scones are a popular breakfast item in Kenya, often enjoyed with tea or coffee. These scones are typically made with simple ingredients, making them a staple in many households. They reflect the Kenyan love for baked goods that are both comforting and easy to prepare, especially in regions where ovens are less common. Today, variations can be found across East Africa, with unique local twists on flavors and ingredients.

1

Add lukewarm milk to a mixing bowl.

2

Add 10 g of instant yeast to the milk.

3

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the bowl and whisk until fully combined.

4

Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixing bowl.

5

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix with hands or a spoon until a dough forms.

6

If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in more flour; if too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the right consistency is achieved.

7

Knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes to activate the gluten.

8

Add 1 tablespoon of margarine to the dough and knead for about a minute until fully combined.

9

Transfer the dough back to the bowl and coat with a teaspoon of cooking oil to prevent drying out.

10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm area for 1 hour until doubled in size.

11

After 1 hour, punch down the dough to remove excess air and knead for another minute on a floured countertop.

12

Roll out the dough to a thickness of half an inch using a rolling pin.

13

Use a cookie cutter to cut out round shapes from the dough and transfer to a tray.

14

Cover the cut dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest again to double in size.

15

Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron pan over medium flame for 1 minute, then reduce to low.

16

Carefully place the dough rounds in the pan and cover with a lid, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

17

After 2 minutes, flip the scones to cook the other side for another 2 minutes.

18

Check the scones for color and transfer to a plate once cooked through.
