I love watching British movies and one of my favorite things about them is teatime. Every so often Victoria and I have our own English Tea with Scones. Here is my best recipes for scones. Serve it with whatever tea you prefer in your best china of course.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Flour (preferably cake flour)
• 2 Tsp Baking Powder
• ½ Tsp Salt
• 4 Tbs cold Butter
• 1/4 cup Sugar (1/3 cup Sugar if you don’t plan on eating them with jam and cream)
• 1/2 cup Milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough (but not wet or overly sticky).
4. Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly (don’t over mix) and roll out to a 1 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. (You can also gently form some balls in your hands and place on baking sheet.)
5. Position rack high in the oven and Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10-15 minutes then cool on a wire rack.

Break open, spread on some clotted cream, and add a dab of jam on top. (If you don’t feel like making clotted cream, just whip some heavy cream until thick.)
