Scone Ingredients
Method
Scone Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in Butter
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.
Form the Dough
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Shape Scones
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter.
Bake
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving with Devonshire clotted cream, seasonal curd, and fresh strawberries.
