Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and icing sugar into a large bowl.

Make a well in the centre and gradually fold in the cream and the milk until you have a soft dough (it shouldn”t be sloppy or dry – you may need to use more or less cream and milk, depending on the moisture content of the flour). Take care not to over-mix.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured bench and gently pat down to flatten it out to a thickness of 3cm.

Use a 5cm round cutter to cut out 24 discs and place them close together on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and well risen.

Serve the warm scones with a bowl of Maggie’s Burnt Fig Jam and some whipped cream to the side.
