Delicious fresh scones with ground cloves, perfect with jam and cream.

Ingredients:

525.00 gm self-raising flour
82.50 ml raisins
1/2 tsp Cloves Ground, plus 1/2 tsp extra
40.00 gm caster sugar
80g chilled butter, chopped
390.00 gm buttermilk
300ml thickened cream
32.00 gm brown sugar
Plum jam, to serve

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Prepare a 20cm square cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
In a large bowl, combine flour, raisins, clove, and caster sugar. Add butter and use your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Use a flat-bladed knife to stir until the dough almost forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface.
Gently knead the dough until it just comes together. Press it out to a 4 cm-thick round. Dip a 6 cm round cutter in flour to prevent sticking, then cut out the scones. Gently press any leftover dough pieces together and repeat to make a total of 12 scones.
Place the scones in the prepared pan and bake until light golden and they sound hollow when tapped on top, about 20 minutes.
Beat together cream, brown sugar, and extra clove until soft peaks form.
Top split warm scones with cream and jam, if desired.
