Jam-Filled Scones

Jam-Filled Scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option that will leave you wanting more. These scones are made with a buttery and flaky dough that is filled with your favorite jam, making them the perfect treat for any occasion.

To make these Jam-Filled Scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup jam (any flavor)

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll the dough out into a circle that is about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a dollop of jam onto the center of each circle of dough. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the jam, pinching the edges together to seal.
Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jam-Filled Scones are a perfect combination of sweet and savory, with a buttery and flaky texture that melts in your mouth. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack any time of day. Try them with your favorite jam flavor for a delicious twist on a classic recipe.
