Devon cream tea
Ingredients
• 8 oz self raising flour
• 2 oz margarine or butter
• 2 oz caster sugar
• 1 egg
• Some milk
Method
- Sieve the flour into the bowl. Add the margarine and rub together with the flour with your finger tips to make a fine crumb.
- Stir in the sugar.
- Beat the egg and add to the ~ mixture and stir in well to bind the dry ingredients together.
- Add a little bit of milk at a time to fully bind the ingredients, until you have a soft dough. (Add too much milk and the dough will be too wet and sticky!)
- Lightly flour the worktop and roll out the mixture about an inch thick. Cut out your scones using a medium sized cutter and place directly on to nonstick baking tray.
- Bake at 180ºC for about 10-15 mins until risen and golden brown on top. Leave to cool on a rack.
Serving suggestion:
Best eaten slight warm, with some nice strawberry jam (Tesco’s fairtrade strawberry jam is particularly fruity!) and a nice dollop of clotted cream (available in supermarkets or the internet if you don’t live in the SW – plenty
of places do clotted cream by post!) For a true Devonshire cream tea put the clotted cream on the scone first and top with jam!
