Devon Vanilla Scones
There is nothing more Devon than a cream tea, but the layering of the cream and jam can be a contentious issue. Opinions remain divided as to whether the jam or the cream should be added first. Regardless of your personal preference, do be sure to add a generous squeeze of real vanilla to the mix!
Serves : 8 people.
Pre-heat oven to 200°C (fan-assisted) / 220°C (conventional) / 425°F.

Did you know…?
LittlePod’s innovative natural vanilla paste in a tube has been formulated to minimise flavour bake-off.
Method
- Pre-heat the oven. Pour the flour and salt into a bowl, add the butter and mix to make fine crumbs. Then add the sugar and mix.
- Warm the milk slightly, then stir in the buttermilk and vanilla paste.
- Make a well in the flour mix and add the liquid. Combine using a fork to bind the flour into a dough.
- Pat the mixture down to a depth of 4 cm. Take a 5 cm cutter, dip it in flour to stop the mixture sticking, and cut out your scones.
- Brush the tops with a little egg, milk and a small squeeze of vanilla paste.
- Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes or until your scones are golden and have risen.
