Cardamom Marmalade Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 2/3 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 cup butter, plus 2 1/2 tbsp
2 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup orange marmalade, plus 1 tbsp
1 cup milk, approximately

Preparation

Preheat oven 475\u00b0F. Grease a 9 inch square cake pan.
Sift flour and cardamom into a large bowl. Cut in 2 1/2 tbsp butter. Add orange zest, sugar and 1/3 cup marmalade. Stir in enough milk to mix into a soft, sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Press into a 3/4 inch thick disc and cut into 2 inch rounds. Place in prepared pan and bake for 15 mins.
Meanwhile, to make the marmalade butter, beat remaining butter and marmalade together.
Serve scones with marmalade butter.
