Scone with Jam
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
- 1/3 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
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, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a 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.
- Gently re-roll the scraps and continue cutting out scones until all the dough is used.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each scone and fill it with a spoonful of jam.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the scones with clotted cream and extra jam, if desired. Enjoy!
Scone with jam is a classic British treat that has been enjoyed for centuries. The history of scones can be traced back to Scotland, where they were originally made with oats and cooked on a griddle. Over time, the recipe evolved to include flour, butter, and milk, resulting in the scones we know today. The addition of jam, often strawberry or raspberry, adds a delightful sweetness to the slightly crumbly texture of the scone. Chefs and bakers across the UK take pride in perfecting this beloved delicacy, with renowned establishments in regions like Devon and Cornwall known for their exceptional scones. For the best version of this dish, look for scones that are light, fluffy, and slightly warm, paired with a generous dollop of high-quality jam. Whether enjoyed at a quaint tea room or homemade in your own kitchen, scones with jam are a delightful indulgence that continues to charm food enthusiasts worldwide.
