With clotted cream and fresh strawberries, this has to be one of my absolute favorite treats, this recipe has been handed down for 3 generations, and although I have made a few adjustments, it is foolproof.

Perfect served with homemade jam...

Steps

30 minutes

1

Preheat the oven to 180 fan. Sift the flour & salt in a large bowl. Cut the margarine into small pieces & rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2

Stir in the sugar & add enough buttermilk to make a soft but not sticky dough
3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead lightly the rollout to approximately ½ an inch thick and cut out rounds.
4

Place on a baking tray and brush the tops with the egg, careful not to drip down the sides as this will stop the scones rising evenly.
5

Bake at 180 C fan for 12-14 minutes, until well risen and golden brown.
