This easy recipe for pinwheel scones can be made in minutes, the perfect treat to impress your friends and family.
I have partnered up with Anathoth Farm to create a recipe with their new Berries and Chia Seed preserve. It was used in these lovely and soft Jam Pinwheel Scones. I am so happy with the way these turned out as they are super easy to make and so delicious. Anathoth Farm has a new range of fruit and seed preserves that celebrate the goodness of local fruit and the wholesome texture of seeds.
How to make pinwheel scones:
First of all make your dough by slowly adding the butter and milk mixture to the sifted dry ingredients. Mix it all together with a flat butter knife or a fork, once all of the liquid is absorbed and the dough is damp shape it into a ball with your hands.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface until it is around 2 cm thick. Spread the dough generously with jam right to the edges. Then tightly roll up the dough to form one long log.
Cut your dough into 10 even slices then lay them on a tray lined with baking paper, this makes for an easy clean up afterwards. Bake in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes until the scones are turning golden and they are cooked through.
These scones turned out light and fluffy, they are so delicious served warm with whipped cream and an extra dollop of jam on top. My family loved them and the whole batch was gone in minutes.
Thank you so much to Anathoth Farm for teaming up with me to create this recipe! I really do love your new preserves.

Do you know if these freeze well?
VJ cooks says
Yes, these can be frozen before or after cooking.
Emma says
Could you use this base for any scroll, such as cinnamon or savoury - cheese and marmite?
It seem so much easier and faster than the whole cutting butter into flour usual recipe!!
VJ cooks says
Hi Emma, yes you could. In fact I have a Cinnamon Pinwheel recipe on my website using this method. I haven't tried this method with savoury pinwheels, but I do have a recipe for Cheese and Marmite Scrolls using an easy pizza dough recipe if you want to check those out.
Karen says
If we can’t get that particular preserve, can we just use any supermarket style jam?
VJ cooks says
Yes, of course!
Leonia says
This recipe was easy to follow. I’m not a baker but I’m trying to learn this year for family especially my kids. They turned out pretty good. If any, I just need to work on my rolling skills. Thank you so much!
VJ cooks says
That's awesome Leonia. I'm sure they tasted amazing and your family would have been so grateful. Happy baking 🙂
Tina says
You are amazing! Your recipes are fail proof.
I’ve been blessed to have come from a family of fabulous chefs, cooks and bakers so using your recipes with my years of experience has been so enriching. My mum passed in tragic circumstances many years ago and I lost my pleasure in baking especially… your recipes have given it back. Thank you for helping me get back my mojo ❤️

Hi Tina, thank you for your kind words, it is much appreciated. I'm very sorry to hear about your mum, but I am so happy you have found your way back to baking. x
