Ingredients

¼ tsp salt

50g slightly salted butter, chilled, cut in small pieces

25g golden caster sugar

125ml Schardinger buttermilk

4 tbsp full-fat milk

a little extra flour for dusting

strawberry jam and clotted cream, to serve

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220C/fan 200C and lightly butter a baking sheet.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

3

Cut in the butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles a fine crumb.

4

Stir in the sugar.

5

In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk and milk.

6

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in most of the buttermilk mixture, reserving a little bit in case it is not needed.

7

Gently work the mixture together until it forms a soft, almost sticky dough.

8

Knead the dough a few times to smooth out any cracks.

9

Pat the dough out to a thickness of 2-2.5cm and use a round fluted cutter to cut out the scones.

Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until risen and golden.

Serve with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
