Home-baked scones

10 to 15 minutes

Home-made Ayrshire butter

Serves Makes about 400g

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 6 hours

Ingredients

5 cups Ayrshire double-thick cream
salt, for seasoning

Method

Refrigerate the cream for at least 3 hours before use.

Spoon the cream into a deep bowl and whisk or churn until very thick and clotted. The clotted consistency is an indication that the milky water or whey can be pressed out, which you can carefully do using a wooden spoon. Season with salt to taste.

Spoon the butter into a wooden mould or any suitable container.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
