Ingredients
  

Scone Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk and mix gently until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold the strawberry jam into the dough, creating streaks of jam.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges.
  7. Place the wedges onto a lined baking sheet and sprinkle optional sugar on top.
  8. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with more strawberry jam or your favorite spread.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for flaky texture, don’t overmix, and feel free to customize fillings. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
