Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. Wash the plums, remove the pits, and dice them. Chop the marzipan into small pieces.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
3
Dice the cold butter, then add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4
Add the diced plums and marzipan to the dough and mix thoroughly.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6
Shape the dough into a disc and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly flatten the top and use a sharp knife to cut crosswise slashes into the top of the disc.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are nicely golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool slightly before serving.
