Awesome English Tea Scones

Recipe #23790 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Gingerbee

I serve these wonderful tea scones with homemade strawberry jam and Devonshire clotted cream and they are the highlight of the afternoon tea I serve my guests. Incredibly easy to make and fast to disappear. I hope you'll try them and if you don't have clotted cream available, serve whipped heavy cream with jam of your choice. Enjoy!

    The scones are quite tasty, the small amount of sugar is just right for a sweet scone. Like Canary Bird Sue, I found the dough a bit too moist. I measured out the 5 ounces of milk and added the egg to the cup which made a total of 6 ounces of liquid, just a bit too much in my opinion! The egg was quite large and I should not have added all the liquid to the flour mixture; however, I floured my board, scrapped all the dough out of the bowl and gently kneaded a little more flour into it, just until it was not too sticky, patted it out and cut the scones. They turned out fine, but next time I would only add enough of the liquid to make a soft and 'not too sticky' dough. We enjoyed them with some butter and honey!
