Scones With Berries And Clotted Cream

1. 1

   First of all, preheat your oven to 220C degrees (or 430F degrees) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Put flour in a large bowl and rub the butter into it with your fingers. You should end up with a breadcrumb-like mixture.

3. 3

   Next add sugar, salt, 2 lightly beaten eggs, baking powder and mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Start gradually add milk to the mixture. First, pour half of the milk, mix gently, then add more, a little at a time. You might not need all of the milk. You should end up with very soft wet dough.

5. 5

   Using the rolling pin, roll the dough to 2.5cm thick. Using a 6cm cookie cutter sprinkled with some flour, cut out the scones and place them onto a baking tray.

6. 6

   Leave the scones to rest for 5-10min

7. 7

   Beat one egg and brush the top of the scones. Make sure the egg doesn't drip from the top as that will cause an uneven rise.

8. 8

   Bake for 15min. Let the scones cool down completely before serving.

9. 9

   Serve with clotted cream, jam, and berries of your choice for a perfect cream tea.
