It's the cream tea fever calling out. Now is it going to be the Conish or the Devonshire cream tea? I mean cream then jam or jam then cream, for me so long it's a dream cream tea party, I'm happy. Happy baking all.

Steps

10 - 15 minutes

1

Put the flour in a large mixing bowl, add salt and baking powder. Give all a good mix
2

Add the butter cubes. Using your finger tips rub the butter into the flour mix until it resembles bread crumbs
3

Add the sugar in the mixture. And the chopped raisin and cherries
4

Make a well add half of the milk. Using a spoon or a knife fold the milk into the dry mixture.
5

Add rest of milk to the flour. Continue to mix all together. The mixture dough will seem a little wet. Dust with a little flour
6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
7

I don't tend to use a rolling pin, I just pat the dough lightly to flatten it to about 1inch thick.
8

Using a cookie cutter cut into shape.
9

Using a spatula gently place the scones on the prepared tray.
10

Glaze the scones with milk using a pastry brush.
