Scones With Berries And Clotted Cream
- 450 grams Plain Flour
- 50 grams Plain Flour (for dusting)
- 80 grams Unsalted Butter
- 80 grams Caster Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 250 milliliters Whole Milk
- Jam (Strawberry)
- Clotted Cream
- Fresh Berries (of Your Choice)
- First of all, preheat your oven to 220C degrees (or 430F degrees) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Put flour in a large bowl and rub the butter into it with your fingers. You should end up with a breadcrumb-like mixture.
- Next add sugar, salt, 2 lightly beaten eggs, baking powder and mix until just combined.
- Start gradually add milk to the mixture. First, pour half of the milk, mix gently, then add more, a little at a time. You might not need all of the milk. You should end up with very soft wet dough.
- Using the rolling pin, roll the dough to 2.5cm thick. Using a 6cm cookie cutter sprinkled with some flour, cut out the scones and place them onto a baking tray.
- Leave the scones to rest for 5-10min
- Beat one egg and brush the top of the scones. Make sure the egg doesn't drip from the top as that will cause an uneven rise.
- Bake for 15min. Let the scones cool down completely before serving.
- Serve with clotted cream, jam, and berries of your choice for a perfect cream tea.
