Irish Roly Scones With Cream And Jam Food

CLASSIC SCONES WITH JAM & CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the self-raising flour into a large bowl with ¼ tsp salt and the baking powder, then mix.
• Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.
• Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice, then set aside for a moment.
• Put a baking tray in the oven. Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife - it will seem pretty wet at first.
• Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep. Take a 5cm cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what's left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
• Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully arrange on the hot baking tray. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for a few minutes to refresh.

RORY'S IRISH SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Sift ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add buttermilk. Mix together by hand until thoroughly combined (be careful not to overwork the dough, as this causes toughness). Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and form into a large rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a rolling pin and extra flour as needed, roll rectangle into a ¾ inch thickness. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into nine strips about 1 inch wide, then cut each of the strips into six 1-inch squares. Lightly flour a large sheet pan and arrange the dough squares in nine rows of six, just barely touching. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 10 more minutes. (If you use a convection oven, bake for 1o minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 7 minutes more.) Serve Rory's Irish Scones with our soups, salads, or main courses; they are perfect anytime.
