Share on Twitterfast tea: a very simple cream-based scone, and a microwaved easy-peasy strawberry jam.
simple scone
2 cups self-raising flour
2 tbsp sugar
1-1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
preheat oven to 450˚F.
mix all ingredients together to form a stiff dough. knead on a floured surface lightly, then roll out the dough to desired thickness and cut out as desired. you can rework the scraps to cut out more. bake for 10-12 minutes until puffy and lightly golden.
microwave strawberry jam
1 punnet of strawberries
1 vanilla bean, slit down the middle
sugar to taste (1/2-1 cup, usually)
place all ingredients in a microwaveable bowl. microwave on 'high' for 6-8 minutes, until all the sugar has dissolved and the strawberry juices have thickened slightly. refrigerate until ready to use (this will taste better after several days, but can be used immediately).
