Method
| Step 1 | Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and add the sugar and butter. |
| Step 2 | Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. |
| Step 3 | Gradually mix in the egg and buttermilk mixture to make a dough, saving any excess to glaze the tops of the scones. Add your fruit. |
| Step 4 | Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth. |
| Step 5 | Roll out the dough to about 1/2″ thick, then cut out 2″ rounds with a plain or fluted cutter, kneading and re-rolling the dough until it is all used up. |
| Step 6 | Arrange scones on baking sheets then brush tops with the milk and egg mixture. Bake in the oven at 230°C (450°F) mark 8 for 10 to 15 minutes, until well risen and lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack. |
| Step 7 | Whip the fresh cream until stiff. Split the scones and fill with butter, jam and fresh cream. |
