If the start of this week has left you with a case of the Mondays, keep reading, because we are going to pump it up today with these jam-filled scones. We all need a little fancy, right? Sometimes life gives you lemons and you just need to squeeze every bit of that juice into a pinkies-out champagne cocktail. When my week jumps to a rocky start, I like to reset with something that feels like a treat, a special baked good that can turn the ordinary and mundane into something that feels really good.

These jam-filled scones are the remedy for your weekday woes. Anything stuffed is a win in my book, but something about these morning baked goods make me feel like a queen. The pastry has a soft and cakey crumb, trimmed with buttery, crisp edges, and is filled with a fruity center courtesy of your favorite store-bought or homemade jam. Served with a hot cup of coffee and tangy Brown Cow Yogurt, these jam-filled scones are sure to turn your Mondays around ASAP. 

To make these jam-filled scones, we start with the scone dough. Flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder are stirred together before ice-cold butter is incorporated in pea-sized clumps. Next, stir together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla, and pour the liquid ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. It’s important to keep all of your refrigerated ingredients as chilled as possible so that your scones stay tender and rise high.  

Stir all of the elements together until a rough and shaggy dough forms. Dump the contents of the bowl out onto a clean work surface and gently knead the dough together just until it comes together, being careful not to overwork it. Divide your dough in two and flatten each piece out into identical rounds. To simplify, I like to line an 8″ round cake pan with plastic wrap and pat each dough half into the pan so that each round is the same size. Place one dough round on a prepared baking sheet and smear with a layer of jam of your choice. I like to use a tart jam here so that the scones aren’t too sweet, but you can use whatever tastes best to you. Next, place the second half of dough on top of the jam and pinch the edges of each round together to seal in the gooey insides. Give the top of the giant scone a brush of heavy cream and then bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.

After baking, allow the scones to cool slightly before cutting into wedges. These jam-filled scones are best served warm, but they reheat like a dream. Simply toast in the oven until the edges brown up and then serve! To round out these scones as the perfect breakfast treat, try incorporating a little tang courtesy of Brown Cow Yogurt. Creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweet, Brown Cow Yogurt is the topping dreams are made of when it comes to these little jam-filled scones. Give it a try and I think you’ll agree. 

Get your week off to a tasty start with these jam-filled scones. If you give them a try, I’d love to hear about it! Happy Monday!
