These scones are made with a buttery and flaky dough that is filled with your favorite fruit jam. The combination of the sweet jam and the buttery scone is simply irresistible.

To make these Jelly-Filled Scones with Fruit Jam, 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
- 1/2 cup fruit jam

This recipe makes 8 scones.
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 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 cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball.
Roll the dough out into a circle that is about 1/2 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 8 circles. Place half of the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a tablespoon of fruit jam onto each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Top each jam-covered circle with another circle of dough and press the edges together to seal.
Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jelly-Filled Scones with Fruit Jam are a perfect combination of sweet and buttery. The scones are flaky and tender, while the fruit jam adds a burst of fruity flavor. These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack any time of day.
