A little tip. Brush the scones with left over milk/ butter ( left over from the mix) and you will get a shining glaze on top after they are baked. By the way put a bit more cream and jam on too ……….. very nice.
Caster sugar is sold in the USA by C&H Sugar. It comes in a milk carton style container and is labeled "Baker Sugar". It is an extremely fine grain of sugar but not a powdered sugar.
These are the most lovely, fluffy, flavourful and moist scones I have made so far in my life 😊 they impressed many englishmen in my family yesterday. Thank you 😊
My grandfather grew up in London, and he used to make those from his mother's recipe from memory. He was 81, when he passed away in 1982. Those always bring back memories.
we usually pile on MUCH more cream than that and there is the usual argument as to which goes on tto the scone first , the jam or the cream. Personally, I load the jam first and then drown that in cream! Lovely video, thank you.
how do you get the cream to spread evenly on top of the jam without the jam going everywhere? the only way I can think of is to just spoon the cream on in globs until it forms an even coating. that would also require using a truly obscene amount of clotted cream, which I suppose might actually be the point.
There´s no substitute for clotted cream as I see it..Only bad ones ...Best to do a batch yourself if you want something even close to authentic for your scones...Takes about 24 hours, but is cheap and easy..The British food sites have recipes ;)
I use sour milk, instead of buttermilk and rarely make my scones sweet, preferring savoury, so add herbs and spices to the basic mixture. When I do opt for sweet I make chocolate orange scones. Thanks for uploading.
The trick to a really tender “biscuit”, (as we call them across the pond), is to handle the dough as little as possible to avoid building gluten. You need gluten for bread, never for biscuits!
I need to try to make your scones,i never did. Some scones has raisins, I don't understand why some people make them with cheese or ham,when traditional are sweet scones. ❤🙏🥰
Dont add sugar! They are meant to be plain, but uf you do its like 2 tiny teaspoons. And use normal plain organic wipped cream you beat yourself and dont add sugar to the cream. You have enough sugar in the jam!! ❤
Lol. This is a typical anerican buttermilk biscuit recipe. Always fluffy and cold butter is not nessesary. Been making this for 50 years.😂 Nothing like sand and rocks. We have them often with dinner instead of bread. Sansctge powdered sugar . But it is an adaptable recipe. Add any fruit: blueberries or dried cranberries, or raisins, etc. Dust with powder sugar and now you have a sweet version. 😂🎉
You seem very UK orientated, which is welcome. So, forgive me for a little guidance. First we say, 'self-raising', not 'rising'. Second, depending upon where you are in UK, you will hear scone as in 'stone', or scone as in 'gone'. This is merely a regional preference, and neither is right or wrong. However, there is fierce rivalry between Devon and Cornwall as to which goes on the scone first, the cream or jam. It boils down, logically, to a personal preference. My only argument for correctness would be to ask: If you didn't have cream, and were using butter. You would hardly put the jam on first. Lastly, if you don't have clotted cream it is the simplest thing to make. Put a pint of what you would call 'heavy cream' (we say double cream) in a glass or plastic bowl of a size where the cream only half fills the bowl. Microwave on full (in my case 900) for five minutes (it will boil). Let it rest for 5. Repeat x 2. Remove bowl. Let it cool sufficiently before putting it in the fridge overnight. If it is not thick enough, give it another 5 mins If you are tempted to just do the 15 minutes straight off, if will boil over, and out of the bowl . This makes really thick clotted cream. Alternatively, put in a large flat dish and cook for 10 hours in the oven set to 80C - 180F (Fan) or 90/200 conventional. This can be done with whipping cream also.
Nobody Cares. Americans know how use their Own words. Just because someone may be baking an “English Scone” they don’t need to move to England to do it 🙄
What a stupid remarks you are making!!! Really? Did you watch this video just to correct everything he saying are doing? I think you are watching wrong channel! It’s cooking videos, not language lessons!!!

Excellent information. Thank you so much.
I just finished making your scones and they were delicious. Thank you for the recipe
If you ever get to London, go to Fortnum & Mason for afternoon tea. Make sure you make a reservation well in advance though.
From a master baker…..this is the best recipe of all.
They look amazing and delicious
These are the most lovely, fluffy, flavourful and moist scones I have made so far in my life 😊 they impressed many englishmen in my family yesterday. Thank you 😊

Thanku for Sharing the Recipe!!! British Scones my favorite.🇺🇸
Amazing looking scones Michael! Thanks for sharing!
That looks good. I'd take clotted cream and jam, please.

First time coming across your channel. Love your sense of humor & am excited to try your scones recipe! Thank you’
Thanks! Let me know how they turn out.

Sounds great!
Nicely done, sir!

Perfect . Thank you.

Fantástica sobremesa. Muito bem elaborada.

Receita incrível
Adorei o vídeo
Só pratos maravilhosos ❤
👍
Don't rub it too much or you'll go blind 😂 omg.....❤
In the south of England it's scons in the north it's scowns( like US)
Excelente
You had me at powdered sugar😂
Miami in the 80"s . I can relate 😅
Oh my heck you are hilarious!
The quips 😂
Ótimo
Miami in the 80’s! 😂😅 dying
"Miami in the 80s" 🤣
I need to try to make your scones,i never did. Some scones has raisins, I don't understand why some people make them with cheese or ham,when traditional are sweet scones. ❤🙏🥰
Savory scones can be delicious.
@@mdominic Thank you ,I love everything 🥰🙏🎶💕
the correct way, looks good......ad some gun powder for the US biscuit version :)
This is the second recipe I've watched that calls for the dough to be mixed with a knife. Is there an advantage to a knife over a spoon or spatula?
Yes. It does a bad job of mixing, so it's perfect for the job. It makes it hard to over mix.
@@mdominic Cool, I'll give it a try since I think I tend to over mix.
Grate the butter , keeps it cool and very quick
Instead of using regular sugar i use pure icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
Their official recipe does not use self rising flour or buttermilk? Nor does it call for adding an egg to the dough. What's the idea?
@@ciaranrogers47 this is their official recipe from their book.
Ai, que delicia!😊
Dont add sugar! They are meant to be plain, but uf you do its like 2 tiny teaspoons. And use normal plain organic wipped cream you beat yourself and dont add sugar to the cream. You have enough sugar in the jam!! ❤
Then that wouldn't be Fortnum & Mason's recipe, or a proper English scone.

No cold butter? How do you do it? I'm from Louisiana and never added an egg to the dough.
Can this be made with almond flour and coconut sugar?
I haven't tried that. But I don't see why not. If you try it let me know how they turn out.
Will do!
you are one funny rat baastard as we would say up New England...good thing I'm from the south
What if you don’t want to use self raising flour 😮
I don’t know what you mean, but do it however you like.
Fyi, the "going blind from rubbing too hard" claim is a myth. I mean.. so I've heard!
RUDE!! There are some amazing American scone recipes thank you very much. I make some very lovely, tender, cakey, light scones.
Where is this recipe from? Is it your own version? I found the Fortnum and Mason recipe online and it is different from yours?
This is from their own cookbook.
I found a different recipe from their cookbook which uses 00 flour and whole milk. I’m confused if they have more than one recipe?
@@cliff9685 I only know the one I have.
Que receita deliciosa!
Delicioso
Just slice into squares! No over handling of dough that way.
Dude...a little skimpy with the clotted cream..lol
That stuff is expensive in the United States. That little bottle was $10.
I slather my clotted cream on abo
About three quarters of an inch thick
Gente que delícia...
No sugar on top please 🇨🇮
There was no where near enough clotted cream...you're meant to pile it on 😊
Never.

I like your instructions and clarification on the way scone is pronounced! Thank you!
@lifehappens587 He was talking to Michael who clearly thanked him for his info. You think you represent everyone in the US?
Why do you need the music in the background,
Because I like it.
Nice jazz music 🎶🎶
It’s sexy
How dare you eat your scone as if it was a hamburger? I'm French but I know it's a don't, and furthermore if you are at Forbum and mason's
