I serve these wonderful tea scones with homemade strawberry jam and Devonshire clotted cream and they are the highlight of the afternoon tea I serve my guests. Incredibly easy to make and fast to disappear. I hope you'll try them and if you don't have clotted cream available, serve whipped heavy cream with jam of your choice. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups self-rising flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into bits) |
1 large egg |
5 ounces milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
3. Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
5. Add this mixture, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients until a sticky dough is formed.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a round 3/4-inch thick.
7. With a cookie cutter, stamp out rounds.
8. (I use a drinking glass approx. 2 diameter) Transfer rounds to a greased baking sheet.
9. Bake for 12- 15 minutes until golden.
10. Serve with jam and cream.
