  Made this twice. Both times very nice however I am having to use much more flour than the recommended measurement. With 250 grams, and 150 ml milk, I could not form a dough as it was simply too wet. Also not quite sure if it is worth grating the butter. Cutting the butter into small cubes and rubbing it with your fingertips into the flour works too. As for the strawberry topping, avoid slicing them too thin as they break up in the jam/sugar syrup. In my second attempt, I halved my strawberries and found they hold their shape much better and was easier to pile onto the cake.

  Yes, easy to make apart from grating a block of frozen butter! I'll be tempted to try mixing cold butter & flour in Magimix next time. I used clotted cream (8 oz or thereabouts tub) just as it was, it certainly didn't need sugar and vanilla in it. Didn't beat it, just spooned it onto cake - it did "run" a bit but looked lovely with the strawbs piled on top. Serves more than 6, I'd say 8-10 slices as its pretty rich. Lovely and looks impressive.

  This was very easy to make but a little disappointing. It looked good but the sponge was quite dense and tasteless. Also, I don't think it was worth splashing out on the expensive jam for just a tablespoon. I made it for a friend's barbecue party but the lemon meringue that another friend brought was much nicer.

  Couldn't possibly ruin clotted cream with vanilla essence, but otherwise I loved this recipe. I did add sultanas to the scone mixture which was a success.

  This is a fantastic recipe, made it last saturday and it went down a treat. I did not have any strawberry jam so I coated the strawberries in a strawberry smuckers syrup !! yummy will be making it again soon.

  Made this last weekend. Husband saw the photo in the magazine and 'requested' it for the weekend bake! Nice cake and looked good when it's done. I have to say it really is a cake for a party/family of 4/6 people. The two of us finished it in 3 days but the cake only tasted good when it's just made!

  I don' know where i went wrong with this one, but my base was soggy and heavy in the middle, despite extending cooking time. That said, the outside edges were tasty! I also thought the clotted cream a bit too sweet (I didn't add the vanilla). I think its worth perfecting though, looks very impressive, and its so rich that a little goes a long way so its perfect for big lunches.

  This is a regular in our house, and have also made it as a dessert when we've had a dinner party in the summer. It's gone down really well and is so easy to make. Just perfect!

  Made this for one of the pudding options for Mothers Day, it went down well although the clotted cream did not like being whipped.Not sure if I did something wrong with it but next time will whip some double cream for it. I havn't made scone's before but this turned out well, I did grate the butter and the result was very good :o)

  I am living in the USA. This calls for a 20cm tin. Would some put that into inches? I tried and I came up with 2" I know that is way too small. The photo looks like a 7'' or 8'' Moira
