Classic Scones with Jam and Cream
Light and airy simple scone recipe
Ingredients
- 350 g Self Raising Flour
- 75 g Butter Very cold - Cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 100 ml milk Warmed for 30 secs in the microwave
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C and line a baking tray with baking parchment
- Mix the flour and the butter in a large bowl until just about combined. I've learnt this is the really important bit and not to do it for very long or the scones will go rock hard. Quickly stir the sugar in too
- Warm the milk in the microwave for approx 40 secs until warm (not hot). Add the lemon juice and the vanilla to the milk
- Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the milk mixture. Stir in quickly until just combined
- Roll into approx 5cm high on a floured surface and cut using a scone cutter (I used a 3" cutter dusted with flour so it didn't stick. I got 10 scones out of this mix
- Cook for 14 minutes until golden (Turn the oven tray round after about 10 minutes so you get an even bake)
