Royal Family’s Recipe for Fruit Scones
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Mix the flour, baking powder, butter and sugar together in a bowl, until a crumb is formed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
Add the egg mixture to the crumb mixture.
Continue to mix the dough, until it is smooth.
If using, add soaked and drained golden raisins, and mix until evenly distributed.
Remove the dough from the bowl, flatten the dough and cover.
Cover and leave to rest for approximately 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 inch and cut to desired shape.
Rest the scones for another 20 minutes.
To make egg wash, crack final egg in a small bowl and beat with 1 tablespoon water (or heavy cream or milk, if using). Using a pastry brush, gently coat top of scones with the egg wash.
Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Cool before serving with jam and clotted cream.
