Holy crap - I just made these with fresh cranberries and orange zest. These are the best scones I've ever had in my life! THANK YOU for this recipe!

My Nannan made the best scones, she would call them halfa scones. 300 S.R. Flour, 150 Sugar, 75 Butter, 2 med Eggs, splash of milk if needed. Absolutely gorgeous 😋😋😋

[SamGiles]

John, I have immense respect that you acknowledged the international versions of the scone. Being Australian, the UK style is obviously what we refer to when we think of scones, but these (US style) look absolutely delicious, too! Great work.

I like to freeze/grate/freeze my butter and measure/mix/freeze my dry ingredients as well. Starting with everything as cold as possible helps me get better lamination and minimizes butter leakage 😊

[AshleySaville]

I've grated frozen butter then put it back in the freezer until I needed it

[karentaylor]

I agree John, it's necessary to have the butter in chunks = steam = fluffy. You make things look so easy. Thanks for everything ❤

I used this recipe and added chocolate chips. They were ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! the best scones recipe ever ♡♡♡ my boyfriend and I devoured them !!!

When you say “ahmazing” you have me hooked. In Canada it’s generally called whipping cream as it’s the 33%. When I chop up dried fruit, which always seem sticky, I spray a little cooking spray on my knife. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

In cooking class here in South Africa we were taught to make both types os scones. The ones that John calls American scones we were told was breakfast scones. The British ones are tea scones.

I’m from the U.K and I’ve always known that America has a different style of scone to us but I’ve never known quite what the difference is. Thank you for explaining the differences so clearly. I love your style of teaching and ( of course ) the great bonus of metric measurements. I look forward to making these scones for breakfast on Sunday.

I love scones, they are so easy to make .I always add an egg, use yogurt instead of cream, cut in triangles and I like chopped glace cherries and mixed peel in my scones. I eat 2 with cheese and an apple for tea. They freeze well so they are always fresh and don't need butter. Great recipe thanks John

[busraapaydinmusic]

I baked the scones three times with your recipe, all went perfectly, everytime I hit the bull’s eye thanks to you 🥰🌸

I'm irish and we say double cream, and our Irish kerry gold butter has salt so I don't add salt, love your channel, ive made a lot of your recipes, made your mushroom risotto today and it was delicious

[melindafisher]

Your scones are truly the BEST! I have tried recipes for years without being satisfied. I discovered your scone video a year ago, choc chip, blueberry lemon, pumpkin…all of them turned out perfectly and were exactly what I had dreamed of!! Thank you!!

[ManonDesy]

I am from Montreal, Quebec and I discovered your channel on Facebook. I just tried theses scones and they are delicious! I love the way you teach … it’s easy and I learn a lot .. the thing I love, is that the results always look great !i am hooked! I am mostly French but the way you explain, it’s so clear! Thank you !

[HT-rqom]

Decades ago I spent two weeks working in Dublin - and boy were they delicious. 🤤🤤I had them every morning while I was there, and went through withdrawals when back in Germany, were we don’t have them.

Update: watched several videos and different recipes, but followed this one - and we LOVE it!! So delicious!

[aliloucreations]

I’m from England John, and a cook, your recipe is the only one that I kept saying “that’s it” then “that’s it “ perfect video well done

[cathys]

I like to grate the butter on the large holes of a grater, directly into the flour mixture. I toss the shards with the flour as I go along so it doesn't clump. Much faster than the pastry cutter method! Cheese and green herbs are our family's favorite, but personally I like fresh cranberry and orange. I love your recipes and videos!

[TheWondabar]

Wow I made these and they are wonderful! Soft on the inside, a little crunchy on the outside, perfect amount of sugar. And they rose nice and tall. Love love love the recipe, thank you so much!
