Published Oct 01, 2024 Updated Oct 17, 2024 There’s just something about warm, crumbly, classic English scones served with clotted cream or jam alongside my favorite cup of tea or coffee. However, since I’m not in England where all the best scones are, I love making these easy scones whenever a craving hits. They’re soft, flaky, and buttery—perfect for satisfying that sudden desire for a delicious treat! These homemade scones embody everything I love about this afternoon treat, made with condensed milk and mixed with my favorite blueberries and raisins. Every bite is filled with fruity notes, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and richness that makes them utterly irresistible.
Easy Scones Recipe With Condensed Milk
I love using condensed milk in my baking, like in Condensed Milk Bread. It adds a delightful twist to classic recipes and enhances their flavor beautifully! This recipe is super easy to make and have a wonderfully rich, sweet, and a tint of milky flavor. The condensed milk keeps them moist, giving them that perfect light and airy texture that I love. I like to add blueberries and raisins to my scones for a fruity touch. Every bite is a delicious mix of sweetness and creaminess. They’re great for afternoon tea or anytime of the day, especially when topped with clotted cream or jam. Honestly, once you try these, you might never go back to traditional scones! Recipe Variations: You can use a variety of fruits in your scones, such as fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries work great for a burst of flavor. You can also use dried cranberries to make Cranberry Scones.
Scones Ingredients
Unsalted Butter Self-Rising Flour: A convenient mix of flour, baking powder, and salt for easy baking. Baking Powder: You will need extra baking powder in this recipe. As a leavening agent, this helps baked goods rise for a light, fluffy texture. Eggs: Used in the recipe and as an egg wash to achieve a beautiful, golden-color finish. Milk: Enhances moisture and flavor, creating a tender crumb in baked goods. Blueberries or Raisins: I used a combination of both but you can use either one for a delightful touch of fruity sweetness! Condensed Milk: Brings a tint of aroma, creamy sweetness and depth to this recipe. Oil: Keeps baked goods moist and crumbly while adding rich flavor.

Helpful Tips
Make sure to follow the recipe precisely for flaky, airy, and taller-than-usual scones. Use fresh baking powder. If it’s expired, it won’t provide the necessary lift. Kneading the dough too much can make scones dense instead of light and fluffy. Enjoy them hot out of the oven for the best flavor. If you don’t have clotted cream or jam, just serve them with butter. For the egg wash, I added 1 teaspoon of condensed milk for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
