Scones are simple, plain little cakes, perfect accompaniments for jam and custard.

Zubereitung:

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Put the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl and mix together. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Put the milk in a mug and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warm but not hot. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix quickly into the flour butter mixture.


Sprinkle some flour on the work surface and tip out the dough. Dust the dough and your hands with a little more flour and then fold the dough 2-3 times until it is a little smoother. Shape the dough into a disc about 3 cm thick.

Take a 5 cm cookie cutter (metal cutters cut cleaner and make the dough rise better) and dip it in a little flour. Prick the cutter into the dough without moving it and repeat the process until you have four scones. Press the rest of the dough into a round shape to cut out four more.

For the busy housewife you can simply cut the scones into squares or rectangles with a knife for example. This way you don't have to reshape the dough.

Brush the tops with a beaten egg yolk sprinkled with a pinch of salt and sugar, then carefully place them on the baking tray. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until they have risen and have a golden top. It should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For scones with fruit, bake in the oven for 5 minutes longer.

Eat while still warm or cold on the day of baking, spread generously with strawberry jam (check out my quick and delicious recipe on my blog) and clotted cream. Please don't cut the scone with a knife, break it open with your hands.

If freezing, freeze them after they have cooled. Defrost and then reheat in the oven for a few minutes at a low temperature (about 160 °C). Or freeze unbaked and then bake, adding 3-4 minutes to the baking time.
Mock Clotted Cream

Devonshire or Cornish clotted cream is an essential ingredient of an English afternoon tea.
No combination of ingredients can replicate the unique taste and texture of the real clotted cream, but this substitute recipe is an acceptable substitute.

120 g whipping cream
225 g mascarpone cheese
20 g icing sugar

Beat the cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and sugar and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Bon Appetit!
