Scone with Clotted Cream and Honey
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of clotted cream
- 1/4 cup of honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture, and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the scones with clotted cream and honey. Enjoy!
The history of scones with clotted cream and honey dates back to the 11th century in Scotland, where they were originally made with oats and cooked on a griddle. Over time, the recipe evolved to include flour, butter, and baking powder, resulting in the light and fluffy scones we know today. The tradition of serving scones with clotted cream and honey became popular in England, particularly in the Devon and Cornwall regions, where it became a staple of afternoon tea. The best version of this dish can be found in quaint tea rooms in the English countryside, where skilled bakers and chefs take pride in creating the perfect scone - tender, buttery, and slightly crumbly. The key to a great scone lies in using high-quality ingredients, such as fresh cream, local honey, and soft, fine flour. While some may prefer to top their scones with jam, the combination of clotted cream and honey adds a luxurious sweetness that elevates this classic treat.
