Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Reserve a small amount of the lightly beaten egg (1 to 2 tbsp) and set aside. Add cream to the remaining eggs and whisk to combine. Add the liquid to the flour mixture slowly, stirring to form a soft dough. When all the liquid has been added, stir rather vigorously until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floored counter and pat into a round about 3/4 inches thick. Cut into rounds with a 3 inch cutter. Gather up the dough and continue to cut rounds until all the dough is used up. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush lightly with reserved egg, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients.
- Using a fork, mash the butter into the flour mix. You may need to use your hands to slightly work the dough.
- The batter should be slightly crumbly.
- Add buttermilk and raisins to the butter-flour mixture.
- Using a spoon, mix well.
- You will have to knead the dough slightly, do NOT over-knead so the butter doesn't melt, just enough until the dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
- First option. You can roll out the dough. Dust the dough with some flour so you can roll it out easily.
- Using a cookie cutter (I used a 1/2 cup measurement) - press the round into the dough. The thickness should be about 1-inch.
- Second option (easier). I simply divided the dough into 6 parts. Just FYI - divide the dough into 8 parts will be better. I formed a dome-shaped ball in my hands. This option is easier. Place the rounds onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Make the egg wash by mixing 1 egg and 1 tbsp of milk.
- Using a pastry brush, top each round with egg wash. This will help form a golden crust.
- Into the oven for 13-15 minutes at 425 degrees. The top will be slightly golden.
- Scones are ready. Serve with tea, strawberry jam, and clotted cream.
- Split a scone in half.
- Top with strawberry jam.
- Then top with clotted cream. You can find this brand at Whole Foods.
- Top scone with the other half. Enjoy with tea!

AWESOME ENGLISH TEA SCONES
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!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
- Add this mixture, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients until a sticky dough is formed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a round 3/4-inch thick.
- With a cookie cutter, stamp out rounds.
- (I use a drinking glass approx. 2" diameter) Transfer rounds to a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12- 15 minutes until golden.
- Serve with jam and cream.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients.
- Make sure your butter is very cold before grating it. This will help to create light and flaky scones.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
English tea scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or tea. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them plain or with toppings, these scones are sure to be a hit.
