This lovely warm and pretty breakfast has been offered to me by my friend Virginia, a talented cake maker. She is an Italian living in London for some years, she has an English boyfriend and she is learning a lot of British cookery.
On that Sunday morning Virginia has prepared some scones served with clotted cream and strawberry jam.
Recipee taken from this link:
Ingredients:
500g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
15g baking powder
100g caster sugar
100g salted butter, diced
250ml milk
1 medium free-range egg, lightly beaten
227g pot of clotted cream
200g good-quality strawberry jam
Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a bowl. Using just your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it is no longer visible. Add the milk and mix well. Once it starts to come together, turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth, soft dough.
Preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 2.5 cm thick and cut into rounds with a 5cm cutter. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the tops of the scones twice with the beaten egg.
Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. Do not over-bake them or they will be dry. Serve warm with the Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam.
Enjoy!
The love lesson is....Learn from other cultures. There are so many ways to see the world, do not be stuck on your own only. Learn and share, be open minded and you'll enjoy more life!
