Enlarge There's nothing more delicious, or quintessentially English, than a cream tea of scones, jam and cream. Here's how to make the perfect English scone.

Step : You will need

  • 900 g plain flour
  • 60 g caster sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 170 g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 450 ml milk

Preheat the oven to 200 C.

Sieve into a bowl 900 g plain flour with 3 tsp baking powder. Add 56 g of caster sugar and mix.

Break the butter into cubes, add rub into the dry ingredients. Keep going until the mixture is the consistency of bread crumbs.

Whisk 3 eggs together with 450 ml of milk. Gradually stir into the dry ingredients until it comes together as a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly.

Use a floured rolling pin to roll out to about 2.5cm thick.

Cut out the scones and lay onto a baking sheet lined with grease proof paper. Brush with the left over egg wash and place in oven for 15 minutes.

Serve with jam and cream.

    I am from UK, and I found this recipe to be perfect. I made 5 batches and took them to work with clotted cream & jamj, they loved them. I set the oven to 390F and they took about 20 minutes to cook. I used white wholewheat flour, European butter and organic eggs. I added golden raisins to some of them. Great recipe, very nicely demonstrated in the video.

    Made english scones for my husband. It was perfect. Cut down half of the ingredients needed.

    Yes, wonderful instructions, and I finally understand how to mix the dry and wet ingredients properly (no messsy countertop, to spoons stuck to the bottom of the bowl)! And she's cuch a lovely chef, too, don't you think?

    These are amazing, they look suberb, and taste better than anything from the shops. I will never buy a shop-scone again, mine are infinitely better. Jam and cream are a must, but you can use the basic, no-frills stuff 'cos these scones make anything taste ace.
