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.

Ingredients

30 minutes
Makes 12-15 servings
  1. 450 gself-raising flour
  2. 115 gmargarine (I use Stork or Lidl's own)
  3. 115 gcaster sugar
  4. 150 mlbuttermilk
  5. Pinchsalt
  6. 1egg (beaten)

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes
  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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