DELICIOUS PEACH SCONES CAN BE PREPARED IN 10 MINS AND COST JUST 42P PER SERVING - RECIPE

Scones are a classic British baked good that is traditionally served with fruit jam and cream with a pot of tea.

Scones come in a variety of flavours including sweet and savoury but traditionally they are lightly sweetened with some including currants.

This recipe, which was developed by Lisa Faulkner for Del Monte, includes just eight ingredients and has a twist - tinned peaches.

The recipe serves 10 and can be made for just 42p per serving.

Make sure to save a few peaches to garnish your scones.

Ingredients:

• 175g Self-raising flour
• One tsp salt
• Two tsp baking powder
• Two tbsp caster sugar
• 75g cold cubed butter
• 175ml milk
• One x 415g can Del Monte® Peach Slices In Juice (or you can use peach halves and slice them up)
• Clotted cream to serve

Method:

1. Firstly, drain the peaches and reserve the juice for another time.

2. Next, place half the peaches on some kitchen paper and pat them dry to remove any excess liquid. Cut the slices into small cubes.

3. Then, preheat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray.

4. Next, sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together into a mixing bowl before adding the cubed butter. Rub the butter and flour mixture together in your fingers to form a breadcrumb-like consistency. Next, add the cubed peaches and mix together with your hands so that they are coated in the flour and butter mix.

5. Add the milk to form a dough and mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

6. Roll out the dough onto a floured surface to about an inch thick. Use a circular cutter to cut out 10 scones.

7. Brush each scone with milk and place them on a baking tray. Bake them for around 12 to 14 minutes until risen and golden.

8. Serve the scones warm with a dollop of clotted cream and some peach slices.
