Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 80 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 6 teaspoons Fruit jam (e.g., strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
- 2 tablespoons Additional milk (for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for brushing later.
Gradually add the milk-egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times just to bring it together. Flatten the dough to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
Use a 6 cm (2.5 inch) round cutter to cut out circles of dough. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make 6 circles.
Place half of the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray. Spoon 1 teaspoon of jam into the center of each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place the remaining dough circles on top of each jam-filled base. Gently press the edges together to seal.
Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk-egg mixture for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with additional butter or cream, if preferred.
