It’s National Cream Tea Day today!!


And normally we would be celebrating this day by running Cream Tea Socials or perhaps delivering Cream Tea in a Box. This year however, we needed to think a little differently. So instead we’re challenging you all to make your own scones and share with us your delicious creations!!


Share your creations on Instagram (or Linkedin) with #CreamTeaCreations @AquentUK



Here are some that the Aquent team have made to inspire you:

– Chocolate Chip Scones with Nutella and Marshmallow Filling

Recipe

You can use any scone recipe, but this is the one we use:

100g butter
450g self raising flour
pinch of salt
2tsp baking powder
300ml milk
(makes 12 scones)

Rub the butter into the flour, salt & baking powder. Then mix together with the milk, in small amounts, to form a dough (you may not need all the milk). Then add any extra ingredients (cheese, raisins etc). Roll out and cut circles. Bake for 7-10 mins at 220c.

Happy National Cream Tea Everyone! Now let's get baking and don't forget to share your creations!
