75 g butter, cubed and chilled, plus extra to grease
375 g self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
40 g caster sugar, plus extra to dust
4 Tbsp. freeze-dried strawberry pieces
225 ml buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. milk
clotted cream, to serve
strawberry jam, to serve
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7. Grease a 20.5cm (8in) round cake tin and line base with baking parchment. Dust edges with flour, tapping out excess.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, butter, sugar and a pinch of salt until no butter pieces remain (or rub butter in flour mixture with your fingers). Tip into a large bowl and stir in freeze-dried strawberries. With a cutlery knife, mix in buttermilk, vanilla and half the milk until mixture clumps together.
Step 3
Gently bring together in the bowl. Tip into prepared tin and press into an even layer. With a sharp, floured knife, slice mixture in tin into eight wedges, cutting down to the tin’s base and dipping knife in flour between cuts. Brush with remaining milk. Bake for 20-25min until golden and well risen. Cool in tin.
Step 4
To serve, transfer scone to a board. Split wedges and fill with clotted cream and jam.
