Emily's Dessert Scones

Mmmmmmm I still love my Mam's cooking & baking. At   86 yrs old she's still such an inspiration. In the Summer her sweet scones were such a treat. Our neighbour used to go to Cornwall for their holidays & always brought us back a small tub of clotted cream, before we could open the seal Mam would make a batch of Scones.   Here's her delicious recipe to emulate a traditional Cornish /Devonshire Tea.  The result a light deliciously tasty scone.

Ingredients

1lb SR Four

4oz Caster Sugar

4 oz Butter

Milk

Egg

Clotted Cream or Whipping Cream

Jam or fruit compote 

Method

• Mix the flour & the sugar together
• Add the butter, cut with a knife
• Add the milk
• Roll onto a floured surface & cut into scones
• Place on greaseproof paper covered try
• Brush the top of the scones with beaten egg
• Place in pre heated oven for 15 mins
• Remove from oven, allow to cool.

To enjoy scones at their best, halve & spread some jam straight onto the scone. On top of the jam add a dollop of whipped or clotted cream. Mmmmmmmm tasty.

Mmmmmmmm absolutely delicious. Enjoy!!
