Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
  • Stir in the sugar and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs before adding sultanas.
  • Incorporate the milk gradually to form a smooth dough and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface to a 2cm thickness.
  • Cut rounds using a 5cm pastry cutter without twisting.
  • Glaze the tops with beaten egg or a dusting of flour.
  • Bake on a greased tray for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with jam and clotted cream.
  • Dissolve the jam sugar with lemon juice, zest, and water over low heat.
  • Add the strawberries and black pepper to the syrup.
  • Boil the mixture until it reaches 105°C.
  • Skim any froth from the surface and allow it to cool.
  • Seal the jam in sterile jars.
