MARY BERRY'S SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 420 F (220 C)
• Combine the baking powder, flour, and sugar in one bowl big enough tosquish your hands around in!
• Add the butter, some people say chopped up in chunks, but I just throw itall in.
• Using your fingers, combine the butter and dry ingredients by pinching ittogether and do what they call "rubbing it in." You should end upwith a mix that looks like breadcrumbs.
• In a measuring jug, crack the eggs in.
• Add milk until you reach 10 fl oz (300 ml).
• Mix the milk and eggs together.
• Add the milk and egg mixture to the rest of the mix, slowly, and combine asyou go. Do NOT pour it all in at once. You're going to want leftover mixture tobrush on top of the scones, and if you add it all, you may end up with a doughthat is way too sticky to be worked with.
• On a floured surface, roll or press out the dough until it's about 1/2 inch(5 centimeters).
• Cut out the dough in circles using a flutted cutter or top of a cut.
• Put your cut out scones on a baking tray. They don't need to be really farapart, just a few inches.
• Brush the tops with the leftover egg and milk mixture, either using a pastrybrush or a paper towel (again, let's get real and down to earth here!)
• Bake the scones until they go golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack.
• Cut in half and decide which way you're going to put the jam and clottedcream on. Do you put the jam on first, and then the clotted cream on top, orthe other way around? Your choice!

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in your oven to the upper-middle position. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to blend.
• Add the butter. Pulse until it forms a chunky, sandy mixture, with pea-sized bits.
• Combine the egg and milk in a medium bowl. Beat with a fork to blend. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of the mixture, and set aside.
• Add the flour-butter mixture to the bowl, along with the poppy seeds. Stir quickly with a fork or wooden spoon until it forms a rough dough.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured counter. Roll dough ¾-inch (2-cm) thick. Use a 2 ½-inch (6-cm) round cutter to press out circles of dough. It's okay to gently gather up, and re-roll scraps once or twice.
• Place the cut scones on the prepared pan. Brush the tops with the reserved egg-milk mixture. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden, and the bottoms deep golden.
• Remove from the oven, cover with a dish cloth, and let rest like this to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 °F.
• Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
• Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
• Stir together ¾ cup cream and vanilla and add to dough.
• Mix just until dough comes together.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough twice to an inch thick, each time folding in half (this is the secret to a flaky scone).
• Roll dough to ¾-1 inch thick and cut desired shapes.
• Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining cream.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until tops are nicely browned.
