Ingredients
125mlMilk
40gSoftened butter
225gSelf-raising flour
1teaspoonBaking powder
25gGranulated sugar
200gClotted Cream
1cupStrawberry jam
Instructions
Heat oven to 220c. Add one egg to 125ml milk, mix to combine and set aside. Mix the flour and baking powder. Using a dough cutter, cut in the butter or rub with your fingers. Then add your sugar and mix again. Add nearly all of your egg-milk mixture, leaving about a tablespoon to brush the scones before then head to the oven.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and flatten it out with your hand, or use a rolling pin, to a thickness of about 2 cm. Arrange the scones on the prepared baking trays and brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg/milk mixture to glaze. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the scones are well risen with gold tops! Let cool on a wire rack. Then split and top with clotted cream and jam.
