Shortbread is a very useful product used in both sweet and savoury baked goods. It is great as a base for cakes and tarts; we can bake delicious cookies, croissants or pies. Your choice is limited only by your imagination and the kinds of ingredients you add. Today I offer you quick shortbread scones with plums, which are perfect as a dessert with afternoon coffee or as a sweet extra for breakfast. You can also take a plate of cookies and lose yourself in a wonderful book. Unfortunately, you will then have to start the baking all over again 

Ingredients
400g of flour
200g of 18% cream
200g of butter
3 tablespoons of caster sugar
2 egg yolks
plums
2 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
caster sugar for sprinkling

Heat the oven to 180C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Make the dough with the flour, cream, butter, egg yolks and caster sugar. Cover with some plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for an hour. Cut the dough into smaller pieces, roll it out and cut it into triangles. Put a quarter of a plum on every piece. Fold and join the scones, starting from the wider edges. Smooth the top of the scones with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Arrange the scones on the baking paper and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy your meal!
