Ingredients

For the scones

350g Self-raising flour, sieved

Pinch of salt

100g Trewithen Dairy unsalted butter

110ml Trewithen Dairy whole milk

1 Egg, beaten

For the topping

150g Frozen strawberries

2tbsp Caster sugar

50ml Pens Sans Summer Cup

Garnish 

Fresh strawberries

Mint leaves

Cucumber, sliced

Trewithen Dairy Cornish clotted cream

Method

Start with the scones. Preheat the oven to 190c. Grease and line two baking trays.

Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour to create fine breadcrumbs. Stream the milk in slowly, using a cold knife to gently mix until it just forms a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes while you make the strawberry topping.

Place the frozen strawberries and a splash of water in a saucepan over a medium heat, allowing them to break down. At this point, add a measure of summer cup and caster sugar. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes until it has reduced down slightly. Remove from the heat and chill.

Back to the scones. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of 2cm and cut into rounds with a cutter. Don't twist them out of the cutter, otherwise they will warp in the oven. 

Place on the baking trays, before brushing the tops with the beaten egg. Bake for 12 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

To serve, smother with strawberry sauce, a generous spoonful of Cornish clotted cream and garnish with strawberries, cucumber and mint. Enjoy with a large jug of Pen Sans summer cup filled with appropriately delicious and refreshing summery botanicals. Divine!

Trewithen Dairy's Movie Night 'Scone Revolution' Takes Centre Stage at Royal Cornwall Show

And a special Movie Night Hamper is now Available for Home Delivery!

Trewithen Dairy, Cornwall's top provider of delicious dairy products, is justifiably proud and utterly thrilled to be able to announce the resounding success of its 'Night at the movies - Scone Revolution' at this year's Royal Cornwall Show. The event surpassed all expectations as 18,000 free Cornish clotted cream scones with a movie themed twist were enjoyed by lucky visitors to the show.

Now in its fourth year, Trewithen's 'Scone Revolution' showcases the versatility of Cornish clotted cream and shows there are more ways to serve a cream tea than with the traditional dollop of jam. 

Trewithen Dairy transformed their show stand into a captivating cinematic experience, complete with movie-inspired props, a special behind the scenes area, and, of course, the famous scones with a very special twist. 

From the very moment the gates to the show opened, word spread like wildfire about the unusual scones Trewithen had on offer at their stand, with queues forming from the start of the show.

The favourite, as voted on Trewithen's Instagram poll, was a savoury scone called 'It's Nacho Scone' a delicious cheese scone covered in tangy salsa, topped with clotted cream, studded with nachos and a jalapeno. The line up also included a sweet 'Salted Caramel Popcorn' and 'The Strawberry Milkshake'. All of the recipes are available at www.trewithendairy.co.uk. 

"Trewithen Dairy is really thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response witnessed at the Royal Cornwall Show," says Francis Clarke, director at Trewithen Dairy. 

He added: "Visitors approached the savoury 'Nacho Scone' with trepidation and, unsurprisingly, needed a little convincing to try a scone with salsa, clotted cream and jalapenos! But it ended up being voted as the favourite scone of all!” 

For those keen to recreate 'Night at the Movies Scone Revolution', the three recipes are listed on Trewithen Dairy's website. Inspired by the theme, Trewithen has created a 'Movie Hamper' for scone enthusiasts and film lovers alike to recreate the enchantment of the show, in the comfort of their own homes.

The 'Movie Hamper' features Trewithen Dairy's signature Cornish clotted cream, made using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Alongside the velvety clotted cream, the hamper includes an assortment of freshly baked scones, salted caramel popcorn and a selection of classic movie-inspired treats. Available for nationwide delivery, for £27.49 from trewithendairy.co.uk.
