The BEST Scone Recipe

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.พ. 2019
  • This delicious, classic scone recipe can be made with one bowl and two hands in just a few minutes. The have a crisp outer layer, are soft and tender inside, and go perfectly with clotted cream and jam! If you can clear up the pronunciation in the comments I would be so appreciative!
    Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/classic-sco...
    Scones are traditionally served with tea and are best when slathered in clotted cream and touched with jam. Unsurprisingly, it’s important to not overwork the dough and never roll it too thin.
    Like a biscuit they should fluff up and rise during baking and to do that they need to start off thick. I did not adorn my scones/biscuits with dried fruit or nuts but if you are so inclined just mix them in at the very end.

    I'm a chef from the UK. I make Scones on a daily basis. All I use is self raising flour, cold butter, caster sugar, baking powder and milk. Same technique as in this video. Cut them though an inch and a half high. Brush with milk and bake!. I always sell out of scone. Always have to make more!

    I'm Australian and I was taught to make them without eggs or sugar or maybe just a teaspoon, brush the tops with milk (no sugar) and they are put next to each other which helps to make them rise up with the support from the other pieces. The tops should be uneven so that the craggy tops are crisp. Really they are just a carrier for loads of jam and cream :)

    Thought I'd share this info with you as you asked for it to be left in the comments and being a Brit we should know but even here there are a lot of people who do not know but here's the info requested. The name 'scone' is thought to have come from the Scottish name for the Stone of Destiny, where Scottish kings were (supposedly) once crowned. The first appearance of the word 'scone' in print was in a Scottish version of the Aeneid in 1513

    I truly appreciate the fact that this recipe is so authentic! I see too many videos on TH-cam calling the Americanized scone, which is more like a muffin, an authentic English scone. I tend to leave messages describing scones as “slightly sweet biscuits,” just as you did. By the way, your first pronunciation was correct. 🙂

    Hi John. The British pronunciation on Scone rhymes with John! There are 2 methods of eating them. 1. Cornish: jam first, clotted cream on top. 2. Devon: The other way around. Any top establishment will always use the Cornish method. PS They should always be served warm.

      Depends on which part of the country you're from, that is more common in the north but many in southern England pronounce it to rhyme with bone although there are exceptions of course. Then for extra confusion there's Scone Palace in Scotland where it rhymes with moon. Quite a delicious treat wherever you live really.

      Clotted cream is made by pouring double cream (heavy cream in the US) into a shallow tray and placing it in a low oven for about 12 hours, it is then refrigerated for an equal amount of time. The flavor and texture is different to Creme fraíche. Unfortunately it cannot be made with UHT cream, which is the standard cream in US supermarkets.

    As for the origin of the word “Skone”, some say it comes from the Dutch word 'schoonbrot', which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. According to Webster's Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s.

    I personally like swapping out cream of tartar and baking powder for lemonade/sprite. Makes them really fluffy and rise and they don't dry out😁

    I am British although live in Canada. I dont think southern biscuits come close to a scone. Taste different. I like to add black currents or cranberry. Butter and Marmalade is delicious. Love your channel. Thank you!

      You are right, biscuits are made with lard and unsweetened with lots of baking soda. Scones are made with butter, sugar and sometimes egg. I don’t use egg and I’m a Brit in USA.

    Traditional English Scones are either plain or have mixed dried fruits added. They’re pronounced ‘scons’ in the north of England, and ‘scouns’ in Scotland. There’s also a difference of opinion between the counties of Devon and Cornwall on how to serve them when part of a ‘cream tea’. Whipped cream first then jam in Devon, and jam first in Cornwall! Either way, they’re delicious. I always make a special one for my hubby out of the leftover dough. I don’t roll this one out, just sort of form it into a rough round. I suspect it’s his favourite because it’s usually bigger than the rest! 😂

    Great recipe! And I absolutely love all the Hungarian Herend China you use in so many of your opening scenes. Queen Victoria pattern I think? So elegant and right for every special occasion it makes all your food look delicious and happy 😁🤗❤️

    YES! Thank you! I agree on the American scones being blah. I got spoiled with amazing scones when I went to visit my friend and their family in Manila. Let me tell ya, never have high tea at The Shangri-la....because all the scones you try after will not compare!
    I'm going to make these this weekend, fingers crossed for deliciousness! (Although all the rest of your recipes I've tried have come out amazing so I have high hopes!) Thanks again! 💚💙💜

    I bet you've never had a Southern meal experience because homemade biscuits from Georgia and Northern Florida are light and fluffy and much more delicate than the drier scone. They are Awesome with breakfast or dinner.

    My understanding is that there is a distinction between scones and biscuits, that being sugar and sometimes eggs being in scones. I have never encountered a scone dough as wet as your's and it seems to have less sugar than other recipes I've encountered. What you have made looks delicious, but more like biscuits. (how's that for confusing?) love you videos BTW

    THANK YOU so much for your wonderful recipes. I made your apple pie recipe and it was to die for!! I am going to make this Scone recipe. I am British but live in the USA have done since I was 3 years old. My mother made the best scones. Unfortunately most Americans can't make them properly. The scones in the restaurants and bakeries or coffee shops are horribly dry triangle shaped nasty clumps. So, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!
