Method of preparing the Scones:
-
Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl. Work the butter in with your hands until texture is crumbly.
-
Mix the egg with the milk and cream and pour into flour mix. Combine until a dough forms and transfer onto a floured surface.
-
Knead until smooth and pat until 1 inch thick. Cut out scones. There will be about 12 of them.
-
Arrange on a baking dish and preheat oven to 350°F (18O°C). You can drizzle with some milk before baking for 35 minutes.
-
Enjoy with Irish butter, jam and freshly whipped cream. Scones are best eaten the day they are baked but the next day you can pop them back in the oven to freshen them up again.
Chef's Tip:
Scones also work great with savory fillings or on the side to a classic English breakfast.
