Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425F. Grease a large baking tray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together.
  • Cut in the butter in cubes. Using your fingers, combine it into the flour mixture. It will be crumbly.
  • Slowly start pouring in the milk, mixing as you add it in. You just need the dough to come together and it will be quite sticky.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and lightly dust the top of the dough with flour.
  • Lightly knead the dough about 2 to 3 times. Gently press or roll the dough out to 1inch thick.
  • Using a floured 2 inch cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles.
  • Place the dough circles on your baking tray.
  • Whisk the egg and brush the top of the unbaked scones.
  • Bake between 15 - 18 minutes or until golden and risen.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice open the scones, Add whipped cream and top with strawberries. Top with the other half of the scone. Serve when they have been assembled.
