  • Scones. ‘Sconns’. ‘Scoanes’. How ever you like to pronounce it (to rhyme with ‘cons’ is my personal preference), scones rule! They are quintessentially English, so that’s a good start, but they also taste amazing, particularly when smothered with jam and clotted cream.
    *Baking time: 190c/375F for 15-20mins*
    500g plain flour (plus extra for dusting)
    2 rounded tsp baking powder
    2 heaped tbsp of caster sugar
    1 tsp salt
    110g chopped cold unsalted butter
    300ml whole milk
    1 egg
    Optional extras
    Clotted Creeeeeeeam
    Jammmmmm!

    If you don’t want to use a food processor but don’t have “cold hands”, grate your butter into the flour mix instead. Just make sure your butter is really cold and hard. Learnt this tip from Chef John over at Food Wishes and it works great not just for scones but also pastry doughs and crumbles...any time cold butter is added to a dry flour mix :)

      Yupp, that's what I also do with short bread. It's way quicker and easier and you avoid kneeding the air out of the dough.

    Great recipe, they taste delicious. A tip that might be useful: Spread the dough in between plastic wrap. Doing it that way you won't need extra flour and therefore your leftovers will be in perfect condition to be used again with no problem.

    I halved everything to make a smaller quantity. Took me only 30mjns to do everything.
    Used my hands instead of a food processor, tin foil instead of parchment paper( 170c for 20 mins), a knife instead of cookie cutter :D
    Bake them now! Nothing to worry about!!

I had to add quite a lot of flour to bring it to how you had yours. In all honesty they came out bloody aweful and binned them all. Dont know how or where I went wrong, but will be giving it another go and *fingers crossed* for next time.

      @leyla2763 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Iri Antler well since I live on a dairy farm, I know that cream comes floating on top of the milk, it takes a while but you can get quite a bit of cream from a full bucket of milk. For your your information I made my own clotted cream last week, letting the whole milk simmer on a very low fire for hours and hours. You must make sure that the cream that comes floating on top of the milk doesn’t break etc. etc. Look it up on the internet. I promise you it is worth your while.

    The way I know of shaping and traying scones was to shape the whole dough into a rectangle, cut it up into squares and lay them in a large rectangular cake tin. They end up square, you have to brake them apart, and it solves the question of having to deal with leftover dough, as you are not cutting rounds,

    I noticed you just slather that egg wash all over the scone. NOTE TO ANYONE MAKING THIS RECIPE: If you allow the egg wash run down the sides of the scone it acts like a glue and your scone will rise lopsided. It should only go on the very top to get your nice shiny brown top

    • @jamesnoct

      Clotted cream is milk without the cream removed and it's heating on a very low temperature to cause the cream to separate and 'set' on top. You can make it yourself but it takes a looooong time.

      Nigella Lawsons recipe to make your own clotted cream 3 pints milk
      ½ pint cream
      Mix the milk and cream together and pour into a wide saucepan. Cover to keep out the dust and leave to stand in a cool place (NOT the fridge) for several hours until the cream has risen to the top.
      Lift the pan carefully onto the stove so that the risen layer of cream is not disturbed or broken up. Warm through on the lowest possible heat, on an asbestos mat if you like.
      Keep at this low heat for 40-50 mins until the top of the cream is crinkled and golden yellow.
      Remove the pan from the stove, cover and leave to stand for several hours or overnight in a cool place...but NOT the fridge!
      Then, using a slotted spoon, skim off the cream into a dish, allowing the milk to drain back into the pan. The milk can be used for pancakes or scones.

      +Maria Persson sorry for chiming in late, but it also sounds like you might have mixed it too much. The trick to making fluffy scones is to mix them as little as possible to keep the air in the mixture. If not, they'll come out more like biscuits.
      Also, as Jemma said, your oven temp may vary. Depending on your altitude, the higher up you are, the longer it'll take because there's less air pressure. If you're using baking powder/soda, it'll expand more quickly leaving your food a bit fluffier than usual, causing it to dry out or even be too soggy.

    what I never see mentioned is the fact that British flour is quite different, their regular milk is also very rich and different, and their butter is very buttery and much richer than ours in the US.

    They aren't English - they are Scottish (Scone is a name of a town in Scotland)*
    The original scone was round and flat, usually as large as a medium-sized plate. It was made with unleavened oats and baked on a griddle (or girdle, in Scots), then cut into triangular sections for serving. Today, many would call the large round cake a bannock, and call the triangles scones. In Scotland, the words are often used interchangeably.[4]
    When baking powder became available to the masses, scones began to be the oven-baked, well-leavened items we know today.[5] Modern scones are widely available in British and Irish bakeries, grocery stores, and supermarkets. A 2005 market report estimated the UK scone market to be worth £64m, showing a 9% increase over the previous five years. The increase is partly due to an increasing consumer preference for impulse and convenience foods.[citation needed]
    Scones sold commercially are usually round, although some brands are hexagonal as this shape may be tessellated for space efficiency. When prepared at home, they may take various shapes including triangles, rounds and squares.[6] Baking scones at home is often closely tied to heritage baking. They tend to be made using family recipes rather than recipe books, since it is often a family member who holds the "best" and most-treasured recipe.[7]
