These Caramilk Scones are soft in the inside with crisp crumbly edges. It is buttery and moist. I used Cadbury’s Caramilk for these scones which gives the scones a sweet crunch every bite. For the drizzle, I used my Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce. It’s perfect for a weekend treat to bring to a family gathering or to friends’ get together.

As most of you already know, my family is obsessed with scones. I tried making these English biscuits in my kitchen a few years back and from then on, I’ve been making them at least twice a month. I’ve been trying different ingredients with it and today I’ve decided to add Cadbury’s Caramilk to my Basic Scones recipe. Who doesn’t like Caramilk? I’m so glad that this is actually available in New Zealand all year round now. I could bake so many things with it. A lot of you has been asking me to share this recipe when you saw my post on Instagram and Facebook, so here it is. I worked so hard on this because I love you all. So without any further ado.

How to Make Caramilk Scones?

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the grated frozen butter into the flour mixture until it resembles bread crumbs. You can use a pastry cutter, 2 forks or rub with your fingers. Why do I grate the butter? I grate cold butter as I find it easier to make a crumb-like mixture. Place the bowl in the fridge while mixing the wet ingredients together. In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Pour over the flour mixture, add chopped Cadbury’s Caramilk then mix together until everything has come together. The dough will appear wet and moist. Pour the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, work the dough into a ball and press into an 8-inch round disc. With a sharp knife or dough scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Brush each scone with remaining heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Refrigerate the scones for at least 15 minutes. At this point, you can start preheating the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the scones for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove the scones from the oven and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before drizzling with caramel.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 and 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, frozen

1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (plus 2 Tablespoon for brushing)

1 large egg

1/2 cup (100 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 heaping cup (125 grams) peeled and chopped Cadbury’s Caramilk

OPTIONAL FOR TOPPING: coarse sugar

1/2 cup (120ml) store-bought or homemade salted caramel

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine together using a pastry cutter, two forks or your fingers. Mix it until it resembles bread crumbs. Refrigerate it while you mix the wet ingredients together.
2. In another bowl, whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Pour over the wet mixture into the flour mixture. At this stage, you can add the chopped Cadbury’s Caramillk, and mix together until the dough appears to be moistened.
3. In a lightly floured work surface, pour out the dough and make it into a ball. This will be sticky and wet, but that’s okay. If it is too sticky though, you can add a little more flour. If it becomes too dry, you can add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press the ball into an 8-inch round disc. Using a sharp knife or a pastry scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
4. Brush each scone with remaining heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for extra crunch.
5. Place them on a plate or baking tray and refrigerate the scones for at least 15 minutes.
6. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
7. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Take them out from the oven and cool for a few minutes before drizzling with Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce.

Serve and enjoy these Caramilk Scones with family and friends!
