The BEST Scone Recipe

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!

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!

Some of which look beautiful, some of which are sporting a great personality. I literally LOL’d that. Love your videos!

I am British and when I was little in the 70s we used to eat scones warm out of the oven with butter and jam, usually strawberry or a red mixed fruit jam. Nothing posh lol. Washed down with a cup of tea.

In Australia it scone rhymes with John. We use buttermilk, wash on top with buttermilk also. Jam and whipped cream. Our butter is very yellow so the come out golden.

I had never baked in life until last year when I made these scones. They came out so delicious I couldn’t believe I made them. Have made them about 4 5 times since then and delicious every time. Thank you for such a nice and easy recipe

I LOVE using my hands when it is required. It is so pleasing to feel the flour on our skin. Love it!

One butter trick is freeze your butter first then grate it...Helps alot

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 :)

My English neighbor made these for me as Christmas gift with a jar of clotted cream and raspberry jam. They were heavenly and now I am hooked on scones. I want to make them myself. Thank you for this video!

I‘ve discovered your channel just a few days ago and I really got to binge-watch your videos. I like your personality very much. So yesterday I went to the grocery store, bought the ingredients for your scones recipe and baked them right away. What can I say? I love them! Stay healthy and safe. Lots of greetings from Germany to the USA. ☺️❤️

I love American scones :( especially orange cranberry. One of my favorite coffee joints sells a cheddar bacon scone that is so delicious.

I make my granny's Southern buttermilk biscuits from scratch several times a week. Never measure anything, just eyeball.
Never fail

We pronounce scone the second way you had said it at the beginning of the video ...we would also never put sugar on the top of a scone before baking here in the UK xx
