Scones with jam and cream

Makes 12

• 350g Super Maize Meal Magnifisan
• 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
• 5ml (1 tsp) salt
• 60g butter chilled and cubed
• 45ml (3 tbsp) castor sugar
• 150ml amasi

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2. In a large bowl, sift the maize, baking powder and salt. Rub the butter into the maize until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Add the sugar and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre of the maize ingredients and add the amasi. With the back of a knife mix until the mixture just comes together to form a dough.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly maized work surface and pat the dough out to about 2cm in thickness. Using a cookie cutter, dip into a little maize meal and cut out rounds.
5. Gently lift onto a prepared baking tray and bake for 10 – 12 minutes. Serve with jam and cream while still hot.
