Clotted Cream Scones
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
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Extra clotted cream for serving
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 dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving with extra clotted cream. Enjoy!
Scone with extra clotted cream is a beloved British treat with a rich history. Originating from Scotland, the scone has been a staple in British tea culture for centuries. The addition of clotted cream takes this classic pastry to a whole new level of indulgence. The best scones are often found in quaint tea rooms in the picturesque countryside of England, where talented chefs lovingly prepare them using traditional recipes. The key to a perfect scone lies in achieving the ideal balance of flakiness and tenderness, and of course, serving it with a generous dollop of clotted cream. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate local ingredients like lavender or honey to add a delightful flavor profile. When in England, be sure to visit the charming town of Devon, known for its exceptional cream teas, to savor the finest scone with extra clotted cream.
