350g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
100g butter, cold, cubed
100g caster sugar
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped 100ml milk, warmed
1 egg, plus a little extra beaten egg for glazing
Squeeze lemon juice
1tbsp icing sugar
8tsp Clotted Cream

Cooking Method

  1. Heat oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Add the flour, butter, sugar, half of the vanilla seeds and ¼tsp salt into a large bowl and rub until well mixed. Beat the milk, egg and a squeeze of lemon together, then tip into the bowl and bring together until you have a thick dough.

  2. Flour the work surface, tip the dough onto it, and then quickly shape into a disc. Pat out with a rolling pin to roughly 2cm thick. Cut out 8 rounds with a small cutter. Glaze the tops with beaten egg and move across to the floured baking sheet, then bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Cool on a rack.

  3. Stir in the remaining vanilla seeds and icing sugar into the Clotted Cream. Spoon over about 1tsp Original Strawberry Whole Fruit Jam and 1tsp Clotted Cream, finish with chopped strawberries.
