The British Scone, A Simple Recipe To Make This Amazing British Classic

These scones can be put together really quickly, just make sure you’ve got plenty of butter and jam to hand (or clotted cream of course!)

A really simple recipe that was originally from Richard Bertinet. I’ve split the original recipe in half and tweaked the ingredients slightly to compensate for the ingredients I’m using.

Two years post this video but, I just made these scones and they were absolutely divine. Without even chilling the dough or laminating as some scone recipes call for, these rose high and evenly. This will be my go to scone recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

This is my go to scone recipe when we I make clotted cream for my English hubby. I’ve tried other recipes from YouTube and this one is by far the best and our favorite.

Just made them this morning. I did not change anyting in the recipe other than having to add a little milk. They didn't look as nice as yours (probably because I used a glass to shape them) but they were absolutely delicious! With nothing on them, or with butter or jam, just yummy!

Thank you for this recipe! I substituted milk and cream with homemade Ayurvedic buttermilk (leftover liquid after making cultured butter) and took out raisins and they turned out amazing! My go to recipe now! Thank you from the heart!

Straight-forward, clear and easy to follow recipes. I'm really liking your channel.

Currents are an under appreciated dried fruit IMHO. Also, thanks for putting the ingredients in the description. I hate it when channels that don’t do that.

Who doesnt love a buttered scone with a nice cuppa. My favourite is wholemeal date scones with lots of cinnamon, mmm yumyumyum.

I made these scones and they certainly looked scrumptious, but I found although I weighed it carefully there was too much baking powder in them.They were not over risen but I could taste it.I will make them again but I will use SR flour and one flat tsp BP. 2nd time lucky🙂

[gretavains]

Thank you. Very easy. You speak very well. Very professional. Love the kitchen-clean. I will make tomorrow. From down Under Australia.

You sir are a true educator. I might be a bit weird but I would top these scones with a slice of aged cheddar and a good dollop of last week's Branston-beating pickle.

I hate working the butter, too, so I hand grate the very cold or even frozen butter before adding it to the dry ingredients. This goes very quickly and is so easy.

I made a batch of these today and they were excellent, the dough worked out exactly as yours and they baked up perfectly, I personally dont like egg wash on mine and prefer to milk wash them instead, I do crumb by hand though as I dont mind doing that. Also as my currents were pretty hard and dry I lightly soaked them beforehand and then squeezed out every bit of excess, worked a treat to give me juicy Mediterranean like fruit. I am a chap that has been making scones now and then for very many years and have used about the same amount of recipes! some good some not, but these are really super. Thank you as always for a great video and learning curve, its never too late to learn anything. Keep em coming please!

Thank you!!!! I’m loving your channel and would love to hear Q&A . Thank you 😊

Scones are so forgiving to make. I don’t make mine anything like this recipe but they always turn out looking like these and tasting fantastic. 👍

[jtbaker]

I always enjoy your videos. Straight, informative and without the 'acting goofy' like so many others in food videos. And . not to mention . .. your recipe choices are excellent.

[diegocahua]

Q&A would be fantastic. I would most certainly tune in

Love it, looks great Philip! Can't beat a British Scone; especially for the summer and it's getting very hot here in Blighty! All the best, Dom
