I have another delicious recipe that I made! Are you ready for it? Scones! With strawberry jam and clotted cream! It was pretty easy to make and tastes delicious!
All you need is
350g self-raising flour, plus more for dusting
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
85g butter, cut into cubes
3 tbsp caster sugar
175ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
squeeze lemon juice
beaten egg, to glaze
jam and clotted cream, to serve (optional)
1) First, pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees celsius.
2) Then pour the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and mix it.
3) Put the butter in and mix it with your hands until they are like bread crumbs. Then stir in the sugar.
4) Put the milk into a glass bowl or jug and put it in the microwave for about thirty seconds until warm, not hot.
5) Add lemon juice and vanilla to the milk.
6) Put an empty baking sheet into the oven to warm it up.
7) Make a well/hole in the dry mix. Pour the milk in and stir quickly with a fork or whisk.
8) Put flour on your hands and working space, and pour the dough out onto it.
9) Spread the dough out so it is about 4 cm high.
10) Take the baking sheet out of the oven and cut 8 scones out with a cookie cutter about 5 cm high or a cup.
11) Use a pastry brush to spread the egg on top.
12) Put them in the oven for ten minutes.
13) Let cool if you want or eat it fresh out of the oven. Add clotted cream and jam to serve if you want.

They look delicious but a little flat! The secret ingredient is lemonade to make them rise 🙂
Hi!
Thank you for commenting! We did put some lemon juice in and next time we will try lemonade to see the difference! 🙂
I have a few questions Zoe.
1. What is castor sugar?
2. It looks like you dropped the mix on the cookie sheet rather than roll the dough, is this right?
3. I want to try these as I love scones but have never made them.
Thanks for your help .
Hi!
In the UK they call normal sugar castor sugar. We didn’t have a cookie cutter so we just lifted the dough up and put it on the cookie sheet. I am sure you will have a great time making these easy and yummy scones! 🙂
Zoe, by the time you come back home you will have mastered many culinary skills. As you can tell, from my posts, I really enjoy your cooking segments. The step-by-step procedures, along with the photos, make it easy for those who want to make the scones. Frankly though, Uncle Peter just wants to eat them; not make them.

P. S. I’m glad you cover your hair when you are cooking. My mother made sure I always did that.
Hi!
I had lots of fun making these scones and hope to make them for you and Uncle Peter when we get home! 🙂
mmmmmm clotted cream……you can buy it here but it isn’t as fresh and it is quite expensive…..that and double-cream fudge would even get Ariel on a plane if he thought there was a trip to England in the offing! Good job, my current favourite is with white chocolate and raspberries in the mix…..though old cheddar and herbs are also great (with soup, not cream).
Jealous of your cooking adventures, but a great way to learn about a culture is to eat what they do….keep the food posts coming.
Hi!
I like clotted cream too! You can tell Ariel he can come on over and have some scones! We have not tried the different flavours but we should try them for part two of our recipe book! 🙂
Hi, Zoe, love your step by step recipe and will try it soon, especially since we made wonderful strawberry jam this year. I see that Mikhaila is helping with the “taste test”.
Hi!
I cant wait to write our globalfieldtrip recipe book and make these again! I am sure your scones will be even better with homemade jam. 🙂
Hi Zoe
Your scones look yummy! You are becoming a wonderful cook and I am enjoying all your great photos! Have you travelled to Scotland? Can’t wait to hear what you are cooking up there!
Love Teta Doreen

Hi!
We are in Scotland and have tried haggis and it was pretty good! Mikhaila ate a huge meal and most of the haggis and thought it was delicious! We are still learning about Scotland and don’t know what we will make but keep your eye out for our next recipe! 🙂

Loving all your post! Thank you so much for all the updates. I can’t wait for school to start so we can keep track of your whereabouts on a world map. Definitely better than postcards 🙂
Hope you won’t mind my sharing these at school. Your post, pictures, recipes and fun-facts will certainly add excitement to our class this year!
Hi!
I am having such a great time and can’t wait for all of my friends to learn about the amazing things that I am experiencing! Good luck at school next week! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe Zoe. They look delicious. I will try your recipe. Hope your trip is going well.

Hi!
Let me know how it goes when you make them! Are you going to have them with clotted cream and jam? 🙂
Hi, Zoe!
I love scones and can’t wait to try your recipe! I have tried others but was not happy with the results! Your recipe is different so I am looking forward to better results than I previously had!
Love following your posts!
Ginny

Hi!
Davia and Raine will love them too!
MMMM, I love scones ! Maybe I will try to make them myself; in your blog it seems so easy 🙂
I must say that I admire what you all are doing. Keep enjoying this.
friendly greetings from Ingrid

Hi!
We had so much fun staying with you and your family. You should make these with speculoos instead of jam and clotted cream!
