And as if that wasn’t enough, Kay also makes a mean scone! It’s a treat often shared with family and friends over a cup of tea in her light-filled kitchen—a space where creativity flows freely.
Kay’s Fluffy Homemade Scones
Light, golden, and just sweet enough—Kay’s scones are as comforting as her interiors. Here's her tried-and-true recipe:
Ingredients:
225g self-raising flour
55g butter
25g caster sugar
150 ml milk
1 egg (to glaze)
raisins (optional)
Method:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan).
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar.
Gradually mix in the milk until a soft dough forms. Mix in the raisins at this stage if you are opting to include them.
Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough to about 2cm thick.
Cut out rounds using a cutter and place them on a baking tray.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until beautifully risen and lightly browned.
Serve warm with clotted cream and your favourite jam for the perfect afternoon treat.
