I'm an old man and making scones is on my bucket list, has been for many years. I have always been afraid to try making them until I saw your method. I made them tonight and they were great, even my wife praised them. Thank you very much
OMG.. I'm 58yrs old, a really good cook but hopeless at baking. Could never bake scones, have tried heaps of recipes, even the lemonade ones, & they always turned out hard. These are the fluffiest & best scones I have ever made! Thank you, thank you so much. I followed your video to a tee.
Thank u , I have been making scones for years now , Never ever like these ,with cream and soda water , So learning an old dog ,new tricks ,will be having a go at these , Thanks again for sharing
I adapted this to gluten free self raising flour and added a couple of big handfuls of grated cheddar - amazing. I needed more flour but just keep adding until it started to come together then threw in the cheese, then carried on with your instructions THANK YOU Gluten free is v hard to get fluffy and light but these were divine. Crunchy outside fluffy inside. Yummy
My poor Mom doesn't like celebrating Mother's Day in the states bc we lost my sister in 2000, and then in 2015 I nearly died from a brain tumor that I had tried to get diagnosed for 15 years. I will try making these to see if it makes her feel any better this year? My brain team said tumor is gone, so for me everyday is Christmas! 🎅
@@soovanderbilt3437 Last year I saw an Open House Tour here where i live and I called Mom to see if she wanted to go? She said no, but then after the show was over? She said she wished she had gone with me, bc we used to do things like that all the time! (*which was my train of thought at the time too.) I just keep asking her if I see something that looks fun but so far she's staying home to stay healthy away from Covid.
I made these and they were great!! Sifting flour gives an accurate measure, as flour gets packed down in. transit and wi.l make your baked goods too dense and dry. Really,it's a easy recipe. Do it!!!
I love this video. I have never made them but I do love them. My husband (of 42 years) doesn’t care for them Is the only reason I haven’t . I love baking and watching people who love to bake too. I love cooking in general. 👩🍳
Fabulous recipe. It’s the scone recipe I always use. I now cook my scones in the Air Fryer on 200 deg C for 12 -15 minutes, depending on how big you’ve made them. Turn them over last couple of minutes
I use the same measurements for my ginger scones, add a good quantity of ground ginger to the flour before you sieve it. I use diet ginger beer then gently fold in chopped glacé ginger, delicious 😋
HarrodsFan has said it for me: "Perfect": Simple, straightforward, and refreshingly comprehensive. Can anyone claim that she has missed a single point? Obviously an expert, but makes you feel she is one of your special friends, eager that your results are as good as hers, if not better. Frank
Hi Frank. What lovely kind words!!! 😊 I’m not sure that I’m an expert but I’m very keen for everyone to feel like cooking is something anyone can do. Thanks again for your lovely words.
How wonderfully refreshing to hear an Aussie accent on one of these TH-cam videos 😊 You're an absolute delight to watch and listen to. I have made the lemonade scones but I'm definitely going to try this recipe. Wonder what the CWA thinks about these variations 😁 Thank you, Yvette.
@@janerivera590 Not new, I was taught this technique using a metal knife for this sort of dough-making both at home and at school in 'home ec' aka cookery 60 odd years ago. I watched, helped and learnt from my Nan who was a farmer's wife feeding shearers, my aunt who consistently won prizes at the local agricultural show and my Mum who was a member of CWA for umpteen years all followed the rule of using a knife to 'cut the dough'.
I will check but I seem to recall this recipe or one very similar, but using lemonade (which is what I use), is in the 2nd CWA cookbook my Mum gave me.
These are definitely THE BEST, THE EASIEST scones I've ever known or made. Thank you so much for giving me a "no fail" way of making something I never had success with. My family (grand children especially) thank you too.
@@juliemcknight7031 same question - what she's using looks more like buttermilk than even our heavy cream; thinking I may try a combo of the two to replicate it
@@tylerpurrden and @julie McKnight, this cream is whipping cream with some thickener added to it. It is the easiest and cheapest cream for me to get here in Australia. You can use any cream. I've made them with lower fat and unthickened cream and they still turn out well. 🙂
Sorry but in my experience the Australian pronunciation is incorrect - the correct English pronunciation rhymes with the word Tone i.e. the ‘o’ is elongated. Hence the little rhyme that used to be taught to aid pronunciation as follows:- I asked the girl in dulcet tone To order me a buttered scone The silly girl has been an gone And ordered me a buttered scon ! 😅 👍🏼for the demo though.
@@MsDiamond444 The scone is a British food. The correct British (England, Scotland, and Australia too, etc) pronunciation is as you hear on this video. I am an American living in Scotland, and most people here and in England say it like she does here. No, phonetically it doesn’t make sense. But there are many words here that are said totally different from the American way, such as the short-I in vitamin, and a long-o in progress. After living here I hesitate on correcting anyone’s pronunciation! By the way, the fourth line of your poem includes the proper pronunciation.
Stilton and Walnut would be good, especially for the menfolk! I would stir with a spatula, because of the old saying, ' stir with a knife, stir up strife ' . Great demo, Thanks! XXX
@@susanlang8793 Stilton is an English, Blue vein cheese. Lovely with grapes. Loved by lots of gents with port in the evening. Not to everyone's liking of course but enjoyed by many. XXX
@@cajsheen2594 Sounds good for those who love very strong cheese, but I would try extra tasty & add shallots. It will be fun to experiment with different sweet & savoury favours. Kids could "help" & choose their own recipe for their lunch box.
@@rosalierobertson1253 Yes, the options are many and varied. You don't need to use a lot of cheese, just mash in a little, and with chopped walnuts you achieve a piquant flavour. Happy experimenting. XXX
I make these all the time, I don't even roll out the dough, I just spoon the dough in a muffin pan and bake. Easy and no fuss, come out perfectly fine every time.
@@deanmar9002 I spray the muffin pan with Spray and cook. They come out of the pan so easy. I put my oven grill on for the last couple of minimum to brown the tops. But brushing them with milk or butter will be perfect!!
@@deanmar9002 Oh and I make more than one batch and put them in the freezer in Tupperware. Take one out a time and just heat up and it taste like freshly baked.
@@Antonetish Thanks for the quick response. I love using muffin tins for things; it makes it so easy. Your suggestion will allow me to make these much easier and be able to experiment with additional items in the scones, such as cheeses, herbs, garlic, fruits, etc.

@@staceylivermore4609 I don't recall specific amounts, but to the batter, I added frozen black cherries, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and a little sugar. Good luck!
Made these this morning. Coated with 8 year old homemade marmalade. Mixing with the knife is, I think, the secret to the success of this recipe. A saver recipe, for sure.
Delightful and super informative, and you managed to make us not feel that super sticky is anything to be afraid of. Also helpful to know about the lightness of touch when stirring it all together. Thank you.
Mine never fail why because I also learn from a wonderful old lady who had baking prefected. These look lovely you have made. Yours are like the biscuts I learn too make.

You’re simply a breath of fresh air and such a lovely person… it was a joy just watching you and learning how tomake these beautiful scones…. I really appreciate and will definitely try this recipe for sure ….Thank you again and will be watching for some more of your recipes…. You are a great teacher and make it so easy for us to follow along 😘
Annie, Thankyou so much for leaving such a lovely comment. I can’t take any of the credit for my name, it is all my dad’s choosing! 😊 Have a great weekend.
Thank you for the recipe. I was just enjoying my afternoon tea at home and missing the scones I was having last week in London. Now I can make some myself 😊
I love savoury scones, so I added one cup of mature cheddar cheese in the mixture and divided 1/2 cup of extra cheese to sprinkle on top of the milk wash before baking them.
In our NZ household these are called “Winston Peter’s lemonade scones”, after a recipe for them was printed in our newspaper (in an election night special) in 1986. I have shared it with countless people since then. So easy to make, and the ingredients are always available in our house. I have seen them made with pink sparkling wine for a Valentine’s Day celebrations; no doubt you could use other sparkling beverages too!
Thank you for this easy to do recipe! I am gluten free and I use a ready to use flour mix that I substitute for cake flour. I will try this with my gluten free version. They look fantastic!
I made these this morning. My measuring jug can’t be right. I put in 300 ml cream and added a 250ml bottle of Soda Water which took liquid to 600 ml level below bubbles. Didn’t therefore add any more liquid. However am very happy with result. The only thing I think they need is a pinch of salt. Thank you for sharing your easy method. 👏❤️🐸
Very nice, I have been failing so much trying to make nice fluffy scones, always ending with queens cake. Tomorrow I am making them and I am hoping to achieve. Thank you 💕
stitches…would you share how you modified the flour to make self rising…I don’t buy self rising flour because I don’t bake and the Sodium Aluminum Sulfate (in the self rising) is a proven carcinogenic, so no thanks!
@@marinazagrai1623 For self raising flour: to 160g plain/all purpose flour add 1.5 teaspoons of aluminum free baking powder, and p.2 teaspoons of salt.
I love the look of your blueberry white chocolate chip scones it looks so moist and delicious I totally want to make these thank you for the lovely uncomplicated recipe
An extra tip: Avoid twisting with the scone cutter. It makes the scones tip over sideways during cooking, which makes for a wonky scone…hard to keep the jam and cream on top of those ones.
This has happened to me lot...... The problem once the 1st batch has had the pastry cut-out ..... this is OK. I avoid over-mixing the 2nd batch .... this where the problem is... If l don't get it right.. if l under mix the pastry... & bake, some tend to fall apart & crumble: 2nd problem, if l re-knead the pastry left over and once baked , scones come baked harder... Glueing the 2nd batch pastry can be difficult for some of us.
Thank you Charity. I added chopped dry dates and the result was YUM!! Didn't have soda water so I used lemonade. Oh heck, what's a few more calories.... :) I didn't bother with the scone cutter; simply tore off chunks and rolled in teeny bit of flour. They were just as good the next day - I had popped the left-over scones into a zip-lock bag. Often, store bought scones are dry the following day. Yours is a variation on one I've used in the past. I found the your proportions too wet so I'll be adding less liquid next time and adding in more flour as needed. It often depends on how dry the flour is in the first place.
Hi Blondie, I’m glad you made some yummy scones! You’re right that the humidity can effect the outcome… I’ve also discovered since filming this video that our Australian measuring cups are larger than in the US and UK so it makes sense that you needed to add more flour.
Thank you so much for your video. I love your honesty and as we all know baking is a science. I am so excited to try this recipe as I do need a fail proof scone recipe...looks so delicious! All the best to you 💞
Loved your video! Your commentary was delightful! I am taking your word for the never fail results, which gives me the confidence to give your recipe a try! Thank you!
Thank you for demonstrating Barbara's never fail shines. I've read so many British historical mysteries and the characters always pop into a tea room for a cupola and scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream. I've only tried a U S version which I understand is nothing like these. So I'm anxious to try making them. 🙏👏🥰
Definitely going to try this. A friend used to make scones like this... Break an egg into a cup, fill halfway with oil and up to top with milk. Beat in the cup. Add to 2 cups, flour. Was so easy
I made them and they turned out so delicious that I ate them plain with butter. I added 1/4 tsp of salt because I didn't realize that self rising flour already had salt. I also had to add a couple of tablespoons of flour because it was too watery, but it still turned out great! This is definitely a recipe to keep and I plan to make more of it and maybe add sugar and blueberries.
@@marybartley5800 I believe it might be called Seltzer water in the USA... it is plain water that has been carbonated (bubbly water, no sugar/sweetener)
Hi, They came out fantastic !! I cooked these up a couple of years ago during lockdown. I don't really like cooking (but I love scones) They came out so good, my wife thought I'd gone to the shops and bought them. Looked up your video again as I'm making them again tomorrow. Thank you (& Barbara) very much for the video. Take care : ))
I'm an old man and making scones is on my bucket list, has been for many years. I have always been afraid to try making them until I saw your method. I made them tonight and they were great, even my wife praised them.
Thank you very much
Is the cream heavy whipping cream???
I've always heard that when you twist the cutter, it stops the dough from rising.
whipping cream or double cream please ? I normally bake scans with raisins or curran'ts and butter in the flour' but will try these for a change.
What xttesm fdo you use?
Is the cream single or double.
A humble entrancing lady with all the "come"over and make scones with me" delightfulness

Air Fryer is the way to go. Just about every Australian own one. Kmart, Amazon,Target absolutely fantastic. 🙋♀️🙋♀️
Would like to try in airfryer, did you just grease the slotted basket or use parchment paper underneath please ?

I used gf self raising flour and some grated cheese fab scones.
This is always my go to receipe for scones. Yum... raspberry jam and a big dollop of Devon Clotted Cream and don't forget a good cuppa as well.
Yes! Can’t forget the cuppa!
Haven't had good Scones since Dad passed. He made the best ones! Thanks for this recipe. Have a blessed week
Can't wait to try them thanks
These scones looks super delicious. I will definitely make some. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Yvette, so lovely to hear an Australian voice, Love this recipe, am going to try it is all different variations.
I definitely want to try to make these today. Looks so simple and yummy!😊
Thank you so much for sharing this simple but delicious recipe. GOD BLESS🙏❤
Lovely I'm going to give them a try I love scones 😋
I made these this morning. My measuring jug can’t be right. I put in 300 ml cream and added a 250ml bottle of Soda Water which took liquid to 600 ml level below bubbles. Didn’t therefore add any more liquid. However am very happy with result. The only thing I think they need is a pinch of salt. Thank you for sharing your easy method. 👏❤️🐸
Very nice, I have been failing so much trying to make nice fluffy scones, always ending with queens cake. Tomorrow I am making them and I am hoping to achieve. Thank you 💕
Ooooo! Thank you so much! I love scones, but I have been timid about doing this. I’m going to give it a go now!
Made them today (mother’s day) and they are so moist! Made my own self rising floor. Delicious! So easy! Added more flour to bind it.
stitches…would you share how you modified the flour to make self rising…I don’t buy self rising flour because I don’t bake and the Sodium Aluminum Sulfate (in the self rising) is a proven carcinogenic, so no thanks!
@@marinazagrai1623 For self raising flour: to 160g plain/all purpose flour add 1.5 teaspoons of aluminum free baking powder, and p.2 teaspoons of salt.
Looks like something I want to try. I appreciate your clear concise instructions.
Them Scones look so good mmmhh. I will bake them to yummy.
Thank you for the nice Video.
Greetings from Germany happy Hollydays 🐇🥚🌹
Love your video. I'll try tomorrow, so interesting to use cream instead of rubbing butter into flour. Many thanks :)

Watched your video live how uou explain everything thank-you I will try my hand at making some x
I love the look of your blueberry white chocolate chip scones it looks so moist and delicious I totally want to make these thank you for the lovely uncomplicated recipe
Me too..
I made this twice a week since watching your videos. It’s so easy.
Great fun listening and watching while you make scones. I love scones and will make these for sure! ❤️❤️❤️
❤the way you explain thank you I’m going to try, I love savoury scones
Love the child’s hand print flower on the refrigerator. Thanks for the scone recipe.
I use Bundaberg Ginger Beer in my scones. (because I didn't have any lemonade or soda when I first made them). They turn out great.
Ooh yum. Blueberry and white choc. Looks amazing
Hello Lucy
When do the blueberries go in?
An extra tip: Avoid twisting with the scone cutter. It makes the scones tip over sideways during cooking, which makes for a wonky scone…hard to keep the jam and cream on top of those ones.
Yes i dont twist either
This has happened to me lot......
The problem once the 1st batch has had the pastry cut-out ..... this is OK.
I avoid over-mixing the 2nd batch .... this where the problem is...
If l don't get it right.. if l under mix the pastry... & bake,
some tend to fall apart & crumble:
2nd problem, if l re-knead the pastry left over and once baked , scones come
baked harder... Glueing the 2nd batch pastry can be difficult for some of us.
You've not met me either lol. Sounds foolproof so I look fwd to making the delicious looking scones. Thank you 😍💝
Thanks for recipe
My mother baked scones in an oven pot, over an open turf fire, three times a day.
God bless your mum.
Thanks Charity! Amazing presentation with delicious looking scones. Your recipe will be my goto from now on👌😇
So happy to hear of a simple way to make scones. I’d like cinnamon seasoning too.
LOOKS great. Love how you present the show. Will ha e to try this recipe. Thank you.
Thank you Charity. I added chopped dry dates and the result was YUM!! Didn't have soda water so I used lemonade. Oh heck, what's a few more calories.... :) I didn't bother with the scone cutter; simply tore off chunks and rolled in teeny bit of flour. They were just as good the next day - I had popped the left-over scones into a zip-lock bag. Often, store bought scones are dry the following day.
Yours is a variation on one I've used in the past. I found the your proportions too wet so I'll be adding less liquid next time and adding in more flour as needed. It often depends on how dry the flour is in the first place.
Hi Blondie, I’m glad you made some yummy scones! You’re right that the humidity can effect the outcome… I’ve also discovered since filming this video that our Australian measuring cups are larger than in the US and UK so it makes sense that you needed to add more flour.
Thank you so much for your video. I love your honesty and as we all know baking is a science. I am so excited to try this recipe as I do need a fail proof scone recipe...looks so delicious! All the best to you 💞
Nice presentation. How are you doing @Michelle?
Hello how are you I'm Johnny from California what about you?...
Loved your video! Your commentary was delightful! I am taking your word for the never fail results, which gives me the confidence to give your recipe a try! Thank you!
I made pumpkin scones today, turned out pretty good 😊 I will try your recipe another time, thanks
Thank you for demonstrating Barbara's never fail shines. I've read so many British historical mysteries and the characters always pop into a tea room for a cupola and scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream. I've only tried a U S version which I understand is nothing like these. So I'm anxious to try making them. 🙏👏🥰
Definitely going to try this. A friend used to make scones like this... Break an egg into a cup, fill halfway with oil and up to top with milk. Beat in the cup. Add to 2 cups, flour. Was so easy
I made them and they turned out so delicious that I ate them plain with butter. I added 1/4 tsp of salt because I didn't realize that self rising flour already had salt. I also had to add a couple of tablespoons of flour because it was too watery, but it still turned out great! This is definitely a recipe to keep and I plan to make more of it and maybe add sugar and blueberries.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe Jay!
@@EasyHealthyTasty Thank you. I love your accent too :)
What would we call soda water here in the USA.?
@@marybartley5800 I believe it might be called Seltzer water in the USA... it is plain water that has been carbonated (bubbly water, no sugar/sweetener)
So happy I found your channel. What a great video! I can't believe how simple this is. Thank you!
I love scones, I'm going to try this one, they look Delicious yummy
Love Scones thanks for sharing will make it❤
Hi, They came out fantastic !! I cooked these up a couple of years ago during lockdown. I don't really like cooking (but I love scones) They came out so good, my wife thought I'd gone to the shops and bought them. Looked up your video again as I'm making them again tomorrow. Thank you (& Barbara) very much for the video. Take care : ))
Thanks so much for coming back and making the recipe again! I hope you and your wife enjoyed them as much the second time 😊
