Ingredients
Method
Clotted Cream
- Preheat the oven to 190F. Pour the heavy care in a 9x9 baking tray. Place it into the oven for 14 hours until a golden layer forms on top.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it come to room temperature undisturbed. Once at room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and place it into the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, pour all the liquid out from the pan. A thick layer should have formed on top. Once all the liquid has been removed, store the clotted cream into clean jars and refrigerate until needed.
Scones
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silpat.
- In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder and stir to combine. Add the softened butter and mix it into the four with your fingertips until you achieve a breadcrumb texture. Add the sugar.
- In a liquid measuring cup, crack in two eggs and whisk together. Pour in enough milk to make cup a generous cup of liquid. Set aside 2 tbsp of liquid to serve as an egg wash for later. Gradually add the liquid to the dries. Add just enough until you have a soft, sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough out until you get an even 1/2" thickness. Cut out circles with a round two inch cutter. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet. With the excess dough, gently push it back together and cut out more scones from it.
- Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved egg wash. Bake the scones for 12 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Let it cool on a cooling rack with a warm towel over it to prevent it from drying. Serve warm.
