Loved this and so informative and easy to follow video =) Would love to root for you if you ever entered TGBBO 🙂
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and taking the time to post it. SO glad you enjoyed the video and hope you try the recipe too. I did apply for Bake Off, twice and both times I got to interview stage and answered all the baking questions right, so not what they wer elooking for. But I tried.
I struggled with scones but thanks to your tips and recipe I made these. Very good size and the rose well
Not like my previous rock cakes. Thank you😊
I am so pleased. Thank you for taking the time to let me know and leave feedback, much appreciated. Send me a photo of the scones next time - I know you will make again!
Glad to see you on youtube! Thanks
Thank you too!
Thanks for the tips! That's going to help with my next batch! I dont use eggs or sugar & they are really nice!
You are verywelcome, thank you. The eggs are there to help provide fat & moisture to bind but also the protein in the eggs (especially when whisked, activates the protein and these 'strands' help with structure. It also provides richness and colour. Sugar is in a very small amount and for making the scones tender and it retains moisture preventing the scones from drying out. This is why it is in my cheese scones too. You should try it some time.
Brilliant video thanks for sharing
You are very welcome. So glad you enjoyed it.
Wow love this recipe
Thanks so much for your feedback and afor taking the time to comment!
Thank you! Very thorough from a charming host.
Thank you, you are very kind!
I'll be making this recipe later today. My husband requires a lot of biscuits and/or scones for his fruit(usually strawberries) and whipped cream desserts...
This year, in our area of Upstate NY, no local peaches for peach shorcakes.
Excellent, looking forward to seeing how you get you. Any questions just let me know, always happy to help.
Looks great, one thing though those rings you wear are a no no in a cooking school. Not criticizing just mentioning what i was taught by numerous cooking instructor chefs.
Thanks for watching the video. Yes I shouldn't have been wearing the rings, and in other videos you actually see me removing them. But I have developed hypothyroidism and had dramatic weight gain in an extremely short period of time (especially for someone who is only 5ft tall). And my rings were stuck and had to eventually get them cut off. So I don't wear any rings or watches anymore at all. And since the video is popular, I can not edit those bits out now unfortunately.
Самое лучшее объяснение!👍Большое спасибо!!!👏🌹
большое спасибо. Очень рада, что видео вам помогло. Спасибо за комментарий.
Can you freeze the butter and grade it?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I wouldn't recommend that for British scones, as you use room temperature, cubed butter. Also, you wouldn't be able to 'work in the butter' to a breadcrumb stage, quite as easily with cold butter. And would mean more handling of the dough to get it to come together. And over-handling can result in not a great rise or even no rise to your scones at all. Certainly for pastry and the likes of puff pastry/rough puff you can use grated frozen butter. But these scones have a different texture, and different too to US scones.
My favourite thankyou
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope you make some soon and share some pics :)
Missed the oven temp setting. Could anyone post? Thank you
Hi, sorry for delay, been on holiday. Oven temperature is - 220c/200c Fan Oven/425f/Gas Mark 6. All details found on the recipe @ www.easyonlinebakinglessons.com/classic-british-scones-the-only-recipe-you-will-ever-need/
I use 3 ind. N 3 equip. Done no fuss best scones
I want to make cheese scones. How much cheese do I use Caroline?
Hi Cathy. Here is the link to the cheese scones recipes, with the amounts & what else I add (note too much/heavy weight will make scones not rise as well, so best to add a little less, and some on top at the end). www.easyonlinebakinglessons.com/cheese-scones-a-savoury-version-of-my-classic-british-scones/
Love this video, new sub.
Can you lower music a bit?
Thanks for the sub. Sorry about the music, but since it is an old video, I can't make that kind of edit on the video I am afraid. You could lower or mute the video and select the subtitles. However, it might not always get the works correct from my Scottish accent.
@@carolineseasybakinglessons 💗💗Your Scittish accent.

thank you 😍
I have never put egg into basic scones.
Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment. Egg is very important in baking for not only the fat content, binding properties & helping with flavour and richness, but also for the protein content. In the case of our British scones, whisking the egg first activates the protein in the egg, which aids as a building block if you like. And really does help in achieving a strong structure, & great rise to the scones. It also helps with a nice golden colouring to the scones, as they should never be pale when cooked. 😀
Hie dear cant find the recipe
Hi, if you look in the description box below the video all the links for my scone recipes are there. If you click on the little down arrow (if you are on a phone), it opens the description box and click 'see more' for all the text. If you can't find it, here is the direct link to the original ones - www.easyonlinebakinglessons.com/classic-british-scones-the-only-recipe-you-will-ever-need/
I’m hopeless but will try your method, hopefully the birds won’t get these ones 🙏
Also check out the online recipe tutorial for all the tips as scones it takes a light hand and lots of things not to do that is the key here. Any questions just let me know and take some photos, including before baking as this can help identify any problem areas you might have.
My hackles rise when I see people flattening the dough with a rolling pin, 😬🤯😱
Yes! Inpairs the rise.
You did very well until right at the end. When you dress a scone for a cream tea you first split the scone like you did, but you then spread clotted cream (not that awful aerosol 'cream') on each cut side and then the strawberry jam on top and serve them like that. You never, EVER put the two halves together like a sandwich. Not even the Cornish would do that! 🤭
Thank you for watching. I personaly eat scones in halves as I have a tiny mouth, but I have seen many people try and eat them sandwiched together 😅 That said, I was not serving them as such in the video, and sandwiching them together, is for the photos to show how much height there was in the scones. Only showing/photographing scone halves would be a bit of a shame when the scone tutorial is to teach how best to get the classic tall rise of a British scone. Many people can not achieve that, even after many many years of baking. Plenty shots of the scone halves & filling, as well as pics on my website with the recipe. And a subsequent article on Classic British Cream Teas, talks about what to serve with and what order (like you mentioned 😅 ). I don't like clotted cream and can't get it as easily as double cream, so just whip that up with nothing added, and spread it on, or for photos use my piping syringe. And any jam or preserve goes great with scones, fig curd in particular. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video & leaving feedback. www.easyonlinebakinglessons.com/a-classic-british-cream-tea/
I would only half scones and serve them halved at home.I make a lot of scones by request, and when I send them out they are always sandwiched together and a sprinkling of icing sugar on the top. I would never put cream on first it simply doesn't make sense.The cream would have to be thinly applied to be able to spread jam over it or perhaps you blob it on.I prefer a generous scone I jam both halves then give a very generous amount of fresh cream to the bottom half and finish it with a small blob of jam in the centre, put the lid on sprinkle it, job done. When its pulled apart to eat it has fair shares on each half.Everyone has their own way and they will taste nice every way.
@@geminil2415 I think the idea, speaking as a native Devonian, is that the cream serves as the butter on the scone in the same way that you would have in a jam sandwich, and the jam goes on top of that. You wouldn't make a sandwich by putting the jam on the bread first and THEN the butter would you? That's why we in Devon do it that way and it makes sense to us. But at the end of the day, it's whatever floats your boat. If you prefer cream teas the Cornish way then go for it. Enjoy!
Jam first & then a massive dollop of cream!
@@Lilione111 Or you could do it the correct way by spreading the clotted cream on first and then putting a dollop of strawberry jam on top. 😋
Why oh why do you have to have the annoying music in the background when you are talking
I found the video informative but would have enjoyed it more without the background music. Not only was it unnecessary but also irritating.
You tolk to much
Why thank you! By the way, there is 2 'o' in 'too', otherwise, who am I talking 'to'? But thanks for commenting as it increases interaction and TH-cam shows my videos to more people 😜
@@carolineseasybakinglessonsI love you, I love you! 🤣
The music is annoying
Loose the music, I would much rather listen to your beautiful accent!
Well done for explaining what not to do🥨
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my video.
❤
thank you!
