Elevate tea time with warm scones served with jam and cream.
Ingredients:
  • 450g self-raising flour
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 60g chilled butter, finely chopped
  • 375ml buttermilk
  • Raspberry jam, to serve
  • Double cream or clotted cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 230°C. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use your fingertips to gently rub it into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Create a crater in the middle of the flour mix. Add the buttermilk and gently blend with a butter knife until a soft, sticky dough comes together (add extra milk if needed for a softer dough).
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead until just combined (be gentle to prevent dense scones). Lightly press the dough into a 2cm-thick disc using your fingertips (avoid using a rolling pin).
  • 1. Lightly dust a 23cm-square cake pan with flour. 2. Use a 5cm round pastry cutter dipped in flour to cut out scones. 3. Place scones side by side in the pan. 4. Brush the top of each scone with a little extra buttermilk for a glossy finish. If preferred, dust with flour for a softer look.
  • Bake scones on the top shelf of a preheated oven until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a clean tea towel, and cover lightly with another tea towel. Serve warm or at room temperature with jam, cream, or butter, as desired.
