Dairy scones
Treat yourself to an old fashioned cream tea: scones served with cream and jam.
What you need
- 450 g plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 tsp baking powder
- 50 g butter
- 2 medium eggs
- 150 ml fresh single cream
- 2-4 tsp milk to bind and brush
- To serve
- 60 ml strawberry jam
- 300 ml double cream, lightly whipped
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Rub in the butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Beat eggs and single cream together. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream mixture. Mix well and knead lightly to form a soft but not sticky dough. Add a little extra milk if necessary.
Lightly knead the mixture on a very lightly floured surface. Roll out to 2 cm thick. Cut into 10 x 6cm rounds. Place onto a lightly floured baking tray. Brush with milk and bake in the oven for 15 min or until risen and golden brown.
Leave to cool on a wire rack. To serve, cut the scones in half and spread with strawberry jam and lashings of cream.
Serving suggestion
Darjeeling or Earl Grey tea made with tea leaves and strained.
Cook's tip
Use blackberry, blackcurrant or cherry jam for a change.
