Ingredients

  • 225g Self-Raising Flour (Sifted)
  • 1 Medium Egg (Beaten)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Milk
  • 75g Butter
  • 125g White Chocolate (Chopped Fine)
  • 140ml Clotted Cream (Chilled)

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment.
Step 2
Sieve the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour, using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the chopped chocolate, then make a well in the centre of the flour mixture, pour in the beaten egg and milk, and mix to form a soft dough.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll it out until it's about 2.5cm thick. Using a 6cm cutter, stamp out 10 rounds, re-rolling the leftover dough as you go.
Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, making sure that they are spaced apart. Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and bake for 10-15 minutes until risen and golden brown on top.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.
