Classic Scones with Jam & Clotted Cream

Is there anything more British than Classic scones with jam & clotted cream? This is my grandmother’s recipe and it’s one that I love to make whenever I feel homesick and lonely. When I sit down to one of these scones, warm from the oven and slathered with clotted cream and topped with jam, I feel like I am back in my grandmother’s kitchen. Bliss!

Start by mixing the dry ingredients together. Slightly heat some milk and add vanilla and lemon juice. Make a well in the center of the dry mix and pour in the liquid. Bring the wet and dry ingredients together quickly with a knife. It will seem quite wet at first but don’t worry – that’s normal. Turn out the dough and cut out 8 scones. Bake and enjoy!

To make Classic scones with jam & clotted cream, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Classic Scones with Jam & Clotted Cream

1	Heat the oven and heat a baking sheet	5
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat.
2	Mix flour with salt and baking powder	1
Place 350 grams of self-raising flour in a large bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking powder and mix well.
3	Add butter and sugar	1
Add 85 grams of butter, then rub well with your fingers until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in 3 tablespoons of caster sugar.
4	Heat milk slightly	30s
Pour 175 milliliters of milk into a microwave safe jug. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warm, but not hot.
5	Add vanilla and lemon juice	1
Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice. Place to one side.
6	Combine wet and dry ingredients	1
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Mix well to combine.
7	Shape dough	3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle extra flour over the dough and dust your hands with a little more flour. Fold over the dough 2-3 times until it’s a little smooth. Do not knead. Pat into a round disc about 1½ inches high.
8	Cut out scones	2
Using a 2-inch cutter, cut four scones from the dough. Press what’s left of the dough back together to cut out four more scones.
9	Brush with egg	1
Brush the tops of each scone with beaten egg and place them on the hot baking sheet.
10	Bake	10
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden on top.
11	Serve
Serve like my grandma used to: warm from the oven, slathered in clotted cream and strawberry jam!
