You just can’t beat a scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream. This is my Mum’s recipe, you can find a recipe for the raspberry jam here. I dare say you can probably make your own clotted cream too if you’re really keen, but I’m afraid I haven’t ventured into anything that advanced… yet.
Scones

250g / 10oz plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
50g / 2oz unsalted butter
