How do you fill scones?

Scones with jam in the middle are popular these days, and always a welcomed treat. Tart jams are a fantastic choice to use for the filling as this will prevent the scones from being too sweet. To fill your scones simply make the dough and divide it into two equal parts. Lay half of the dough down onto your baking sheet, spread a generous amount of jam over it and lay the other half of dough on top. Bake in the oven and finish with a glaze if desired.

Custard filled scones are another delicious way to enjoy this pastry. Simply whip up a custard with eggs, sugar, lemon juice, whipping cream, and vanilla; prepare the scone dough and divide equally. Fill the middle of the dough with the custard, bake and cool. The scones can be served with jams, jellies, and fresh whipped cream.

Making this Jam Scones Recipe

The dried cherries with the peach mango preserves make a piquant pairing of sweet tart flavors over a flaky scone. The glaze is certainly optional, but it does turn these scones into a nice substitute for a Danish or similar sweet pastry if you are in the mood.

Our homemade baking mix keeps this recipe healthy with minimal additives, preservatives and low quality fillers that are often found in store bought brands.

Scones can be stored for a few days at room temperature when properly covered using an airtight bag or container. They can also be frozen and stored for up to 3 months. If freezing we recommend waiting to add a glaze until you are ready to eat them. When you are ready to enjoy the scones remove from the freezer and warm in the oven.
