To celebrate my the purchase of my new cooker, I thought i'd bake some English scones. I followed Delia's recipe. As i cant enter URL's for now, Google "Delia scones" and click on the first link.
When they were ready and left it to cool, I noticed that they seemed quite crumbly. They sort of fell apart when you apply some pressure. It did however taste like a scone but it just didnt have a scones soft-ish texture. When you want to cut it in half to put some butter or jam on it, it falls apart if not very careful. I dont think that I had overbaked them or else they would have burned. They were the right colour for a scone. What have I done wrong and how can I correct this? And also how do I get a nice shiny top on it? Mine seemed quite dull.
