Servings: persons

4 cups (500 g) self-rising flour
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons (40 g) butter
1 cup (250 ml) milk
3 tablespoons (65 g) marmalade
1 tsp freshly ground cardamom seeds
1/4 cup (85 g) marmalade
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom seeds
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon orange blossom water
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (250 g) mascarpone

1
Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Cut the butter into small chunks and add it to the flour mixture; use a fork to work the mixture into a crumbly dough. Add the milk, marmalade, and cardamom. Work the mixture quickly and lightly into a smooth dough. Don't knead too long or the scones will be tough.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 3/4-inch (2-cm) thick. With a cutter or drinking glass, cut 1 1/2-inch (6-cm) rounds. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Reroll the scraps and cut more rounds.
3
Let the scones stand for 15 minutes before baking, or make them the night before and let them rest in a cool spot.
4
Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F (240u00b0C). That's hot! Bake the scones for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
5
In a saucepan, heat the marmalade with 2 tbsp water, stir in the cardamom, then press the mixture through a sieve into a bowl. Brush the scones with the syrup and sprinkle them with the orange zest.
6
Fold the orange blossom water and honey into the mascarpone and whip until airy. Serve the scones with the mascarpone cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
