Scones

Pre-heat the oven.
Dust a large baking tray with flour.
Measure the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl.
Stir in the brown sugar.
Chop the butter into the bowl and using a fork, blend everything together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the milk then use your hands to bring together a soft mass of dough.
Lightly dust the work top with flour, place the dough in the middle and flatten it to 3cm/1” with your hands.
Press a round pastry cutter or upturned coffee cup into the dough to cut out circles.
Lift the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Rhubarb Jam Compote

Wash, dry and slice the rhubarb into 3xm/1” lengths.
Put the rhubarb, sugar, orange zest and juice into a saucepan over a medium heat.
Boil, stirring occasionally for 20-25 minutes until the jam compote starts to thicken.
Pour the jam compote into a warm sterilized jar.
