very easy

RATING

We could serve them in style like in England with the thick cream called Clotted Cream. But to the still oven-warm, fragrant scones, fresh strawberries with semi-solid cream are soooo much better!

Ingredients

Servings: 6

175 g + something Flour
1 tsp (heaped) Baking Powder
3 TABLESPOONS Sugar
3 TABLESPOONS Sugar
7-10 Tbsp Salt
60 g cold butter
200 g Whipped cream
1 Egg (Gr. M)
400 g Strawberries
150 g Whole milk yoghurt
1 TEASPOON Icing sugar
baking paper

Directions

1
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift 175 g flour and baking powder into a bowl. Mix in 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Add butter in pieces and knead everything with your hands to a crumbly dough.
2
Mix 3 tablespoons of cream and egg, pour into a crumbly dough and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough on the floured work surface to a thickness of about 2 cm. Cut out a total of 6 circles (6 cm Ø each), knead the remaining dough again and roll out.
3
Spread the dough circles on the tray. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. Let it cool down.
4
In the meantime, wash and clean the strawberries and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size. Whip the rest of the cream and 3 tbsp. sugar until stiff. Stir in yoghurt.
5
Cut scones in half horizontally. Spread cream and strawberries on the lower halves. Place the upper halves on top. Dust with icing sugar.

TIP: Surprise, surprise! If you want to perfume your strawberries with an extra-fresh note, basil is the perfect choice. Mix the cleaned strawberries and 2 stems of basil loosely and leave to stand for about 1 hour. Remove the basil and arrange the strawberries.
