How to make scones that rise. Cook along with Andrew as he shares his favourite scone recipe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- We would normally be out and about walking around Cornwall, vlogging and sharing our adventures with you. In the current lockdown, we are creating videos from home.
In this week's video we show you Andrew's favourite reliable recipe for plain scones. This recipe is in the Hairy Bikers Family Cookbook, 'Mum knows best!', a collection of tried and tested recipes donated by family cooks and the Women's Institute. The scone recipe is a WI recipe and uses natural yogurt to help the scones rise. They are delicious! We think that this recipe is reliable and produces brilliant, big, tasty scones.
If you have a go, please feel free to send us a photo, either on Facebook or via email, see below.
A list of ingredients is on our website, www.cornishwal....
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on TH-cam, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.
Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.

You guys are so heart warming and pure. It reminds me of the joy of cooking with my partner🙏
Weather people say "scon" or "scone" it "doesn't"/ "don't" really matter .😁They look absolutely fantastic , well done Andrew ! Hope you know how much your appreciated , .
👍🥟🥟
Rick stein better watch out! Only one word to say this week and that is...........YUM! J x
the last cream tea i had was at a mine cafe in cornwall, geevor tin mine i think,, you cant beat a real cornish cream tea , well done andrew
Great little video tutorial. Made me smile all the way through. Loving the little gadget for mixing the butter and flour, and loved the addition of natural yoghurt. I'm the husband/Dad/baker in our family, so I'll be giving this a go on this foul rainy day up here in Scotland. "sc ON' rather than "sc OWN" in my humble opinion - though this is possibly a regional thing. You're a lucky couple living down there in that beautiful part of the country...if not the world. Thanks guys. 👍 PS I've heard a few bakers who say not to twist the cutter when cutting them out. Apparently it can cause the scone to collapse a bit on the one side. I dip the cutter in some flour before cutting each one out. This allows you to cut simply by pressing down. Mind you, your results can't be faulted. Proof of the pudding etc....
Tbh, we floured the cutter but it made such an awful noise, we cut that from the edit!! Good tip! Sarah :)
Wow. That was so interesting, and of course a few giggles too. Love a cream tea. Proper job x
I am so impressed with Andrew’s baking skills!! The scones looked so amazing, I will be giving this a try soon for sure! It was so lovely to hear your mother talk about how far back she can remember about cream teas, added a wonderful touch to the video ! Have a great weekend, sending lots of happiness, Lori
Both Mums 'appear in next week's video! Unfortunately with the pandemic we are not able to visit so it is only a phone call! Sarah :)
Brilliant 👍 loved this baking in a Cornish kitchen. I feel a series coming on 😁☺️👍
Yummy and great job Andrew. I'm really enjoying your Cornish traditions. Can't wait to learn how to make the cream.
Brilliant. Well done Andrew. I have never seen you concentrating so much! 😊🧡
I just love your videos (always cheerful) and now I want to go straight to the kitchen and bake a batch of scones. Excellent job once again you two! 💕
Great video sent pics 😊
Brill. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home.
Really lovely video.....you bring a such cheer to us Andrew & Sarah ,thank you. We are very tempted to try the clotted cream now .x
My last cream tea was in the old Lifeboat station in Penzance, super film as ever
They look delicious x
You guys this recipe is amazing 😻 it came out unbelievable yummy 🤤
Cool! Sarah :)
Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing :)
Hi Sarah & Andrew..... Love, love, love this vlog!!! Please do more!!! I have made scones & clotted cream... I also make many other British delights. I really love Yorkshire pudding but I have to admit that clotted cream is one of my favs. I am from NY but my grandads family came from UK.
Authentic clotted cream next week from an old recipe! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I know, I cannot wait! Thank you!
I love this couple....very nice!
Looks yummy.
Just loved this video, but now I want one of your delicious scones. Yummy!! Watched your Cornish pasty video too. They looked just perfect too. More cooking videos please!! Thank you guys xxx👏👏👏💜💜
Thanks so much! Sarah :)
Really pleased you put the jam on first.😋 Also noticed that Andrew can eat as many as l can, delicious. ❤❤😋😋😋
That's true! Sarah :)
This is a really lovely video Sarah and as always the fun element as well. You two are always so smiley and happy. Andrew is a very good looking chap and we don't often see him without his hat!! When its raining and you cant get out you should do more of these like Cook Along With Andrew. I imagined you to use Cornish-ware in blue and white, i love it but very expensive it was first made in the 1920s. My mum used to like it. I think a cream tea is more special when its set out like afternoon tea and i say scone as Andrew does the 'bone' option not the 'gone' option. Jam first of course. 😊 xx
Jam first! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails How ironic just switched on BBC2 and on Best Bakes Ever the Hairy Bikers are going to be making scones !!!
Looks yummy !
Just made your scones for Valentine’s Day-amazing. My wife has never been able to make them successfully before. Not so lucky with the cream, fortunately Rodda comes to Norfolk! Thanks
Wonderful! I hope you enjoyed them! We will be filming a gallery of the photos sent by viewers of the scones they have made, so if you make some more, send us a photo. You never know it may be included, especially with a cheesy grin! Sarah :)
My husband is going to follow your recipe. They looked scrumpy xx
Hope you enjoy! Send some photos! Sarah :)
Fantastic Andrew they look amazing, we need to give them a go for sure ,,,,,,Brian & Jane
Hope you enjoy! Love to see some photos! Sarah :)
We both thoroughly enjoyed that! Please make more of this style of video - you're both so good at it! Those scones looked delicious. Well done!
Thank you! Will do! Sarah :)
How about a saffron cake recipe Sarah?
Lovely, just lovely!😋(Nigella has competition!)
That looked so good. This has been so interesting. In Virginia, we slather butter, and Applebutter on a hot biscuit. Our families, in history, adapted their food on what they had in their pantry’s. Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful gift your cookbook must be to you!!!
You are both so adorable!
Impressive results! Might give it a go!
Sounds like you will soon be enjoying your very own Cornish cream tea! Sarah :)
I would put an order in for Andrew's scones - if you'd ship them to London...seriously!
......and some to Hanover/Germany, please 😁
does andrew make corny joke cakes as well.he he he he
Yum.
Love, love , this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to try it. thank you 🙏
Hi, In Australia we have a similar formula, however, I always add sultanas which give a moist rich flavour. My ancestors came from Wiltshire that may be the difference. Cheers Cecil
Great video I’m going give it a try well done Andrew them scones look yummy 😋 coming out the oven risen well I send some photos thank you sharing the video 😀
Please do! Sarah :)
Wow that looked delicious!
Fantastic!!! We are going to give a try 👏👍
Delightful! i love your videos. Will try making your clotted cream today.
Proper job !
Thank you for continuing to entertain and educate us with another lockdown vlog. My wife Tracey and I always look forward to your wonderful walking videos on TH-cam and it feels like we know you personally. This lockdown one reminds me of your pasty making vlog in the first lockdown last year. We had a go at them ourselves and, as I mentioned in the comments at the time, they turned out yummy! We'll be having ago at Andrew's scones recipe this time and I'll let you know how that goes as well, although when they're served I will be putting the cream on first! Ha,ha! Many thanks again, Devon Tony.
There's always one!! Ha! Ha! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Ha, ha! The perfect response. Thank you, Sarah!
Awesome,,,glad to see jam first,cream on top,,,u made clotted cream,,do u know what scolded cream is?
My dad keeps asking for it,,,,love from OZ 👍🇦🇺
Clotted cream and scalded/scolded cream are all the same and that is in next week's video! We use an old recipe to make it, Sarah :)
Oh yummy 🥰 I am happy I already have had my breakfast so I'm not hungry 😁 I must try this some time. I really like the Hairy Bikers' programmes on TV, so this is surely a good recipe 👍
Thank you 😋I am sure they will work for you and be delicious! Sarah :)
Looks delicious Andrew! I got hunger watching this. I'll have to go find some self rising flour this weekend.
Oooooo! Send us some photos! Sarah :)
Hi both, Scones /scons, matter doit? LOL. Which one of you is going to show us how to do the home made Strawberry Jam?
Only just found this Vlog and loved it. All the best Rich.😀👍👍
We said that at the time!! Sarah :)
Scones look amazing. Neither coming from Devon or Cornwall, it has to be Jam first.
I'm from northern England and I say the longer sounding name, not SCON. Great video, Cheers 🍷🍺
Well done both of you...my mum aways did cream teas with splits...don't they do that any more? Xx
I think that cafes and tea rooms all serve scones, competing to have the largest portions!! Sarah :)
Mr. Andrew, you are such a fun person to cook "along with" and I thank you for sharing your authentic Cornish recipe! Thank you both for taking the time and effort to let us join into your fun life that is so much better than, say, reading a tourism magazine about Cornwall. I would not take a recipe from anyone but y'all (that's Dixie for "you lot") because the American cookbooks always change something - for instance, caster sugar. Plus it helps to see the consistency of the dough and all! Cheers from the South (the Sunny one, specifically).
Woww
After that recipe u will need a 20 km hike :o)
Oh yes! And more.... Sarah :)
Shouldn't you just break the scone apart instead of cutting ?
Great video !!! 🙂
These look so fabulous...
Does it work if you substitute wheat free flour and xanthum gum?
❤
I’m also gluten-free for health reasons. I think you should try substituting a good GF flour in the recipe and see how it turns out! Or find a recommended GF scone recipe 😉. Also I think Andrew has found another ‘vocation’! 🤩. Great video! Us viewers are nosy neighbors and like to see how you live 😉 Now we all want to know who plays the piano?!
I consider myself a reasonably competent cook and have experimented with the GF flour but I find the results are usually disappointing, and the flour itself is expensive. As for the piano, that is mine! I learned as a child and achieved Grad 6 but I don't practice so much now! Can sight read Grad 2-3 stuff! Sarah :)
Hi we love listing to your blogs of cornish walks could you advise us on accommodation near to Port issac we're thinking of a long weekend @ some stage. Maybe a Premier Inn.
Sorry! We are not aware of . Premier Inn that way. There are not many in Cornwall thankfully, Sarah :)
Looks delicious !
What do you mean by "self raising flour" - is there already baking powder in or is it just white flour ??
I will try this weekend and I'll do my very best 😉😊
Self raising flour has baking powder and salt in it , good luck with your scons /scones 😁
I confess I do not know what “splits” are, maybe like a baking powder biscuit?
A sweetened bread made into a roll or bap, Sarah :)
Here in the antipodes - Adelaide, Australia, we are passionate for our afternoon teas. The ongoing, fiery argument over local Adelaide Cornish scones (cream then jam) or Devonshire scones (jam then cream) is an historic rivalry to compare with any Ashes series. For me, jam first , then - itsgone.
Cornish is jam then cream!
Here in Cornwall it’s jam first. Perhaps in the Southern Hemisphere you do it the other way round 😂
I think you have stirred up another 'rivalry' here!! LOL! Sarah :);
Morning, a live blog would be great any chance ??
Maybe one day! Sarah :)
What type of milk did you use Andrew? And don’t say from a cow. Was it fully skimmed, semi skimmed, of whole milk?
Hi Lionel, We always buy semi-skimmed so that was what was used! Sarah :)
Are you supposed to whip the clotted cream?
What are 'splits'? (Is that correct?) That's another video maybe.
Yes, that's it. Splits are a sweetened bread roll, just a small amount of sugar in the dough. Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Up north (Sth Lancashire) they used to sell muffins, known as baps down south, that were plain. Also tea cakes, which were a slightly sweeter style of muffin. In some areas the tea cakes contained currants as well, but we just called them 'currant tea cakes' to differentiate. Just odd how different areas called things differently.
PS: those scones were a bit on the big side! Lol
@@WolfmanWoody I love hearing about regional differences and yes! very big!! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah & Andrew, super scones Andrew. I was interested to see Sarah cannot eat wheat. Do you make your own wheat free scones and if so, do you have a recipe please? Ann & Paul.
I have been gluten free for 20 years now!! And although I consider myself a reasonably competent cook and have experimented with the GF flour but I find the results are usually disappointing, and the flour itself is expensive. So I have never pursued the GF baking! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Thank you Sarah ~ I was hoping you had the best GF scone recipe ever! Do continue your delightful walks ~ they are therapeutic. Ann & Paul
Is that Denby ware on your table?
It is! Gets used at Christmas!!! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Denby is made in one of the villages close to where I live, everyone here has at least a few sets, so you develop an eye for it. Those scones are some of the biggest I’ve seen. Thanks for the videos they help me when I’m missing Cornwall.
Look great but no dairy for me....do you use gluten free flour then Sarah for pasties etc?
I consider myself a reasonably competent cook and have experimented with the GF flour but I find the results are usually disappointing, and the flour itself is expensive. Also you end up making a batch that you feel you have to eat quickly before they go stale - not good for the waistline. So I have concluded that it is better to let the supermarkets make their offerings palatable and in smaller portions!! Sarah :)
When you measure out grams, does that mean you weigh the amount out on a scale? (An American who measures in cups and ounces.) Such a fun video!
Indeed! Everything is weighed out on a scales over here. When I was a child, my Mum taught me in pounds and ounces but then everything went metric and grams came in - so confusing!! Sarah :)
It will be easy to do! Have a kitchen scale tucked in the cupboard!
@@terrilowe3530 Oooo! must send me sone photos! Sarah :)
Also, who plays piano? I note the metronome.
what is a splits
i think the french say scons..
they arr very popular in france
Hi, Splits are a slightly sweetened bread roll that we used to have here in Cornwall, Sarah :)
instead of an animal shirt, yall should have your own line of shirts and t shirts..
cooking channels have millions of subscribers too
You both pronounce, Scones differently
Andrew it’s a scon not a stone or scone whatecer
