Classic scones with jam & clotted cream

I doubled the quantities to make 16 scones. The instructions say “the dough may be a bit wet at first” - it was very wet despite me pouring a load of extra flour in to try to fix it. I tried slapping some on the counter to shape it, no chance, far too wet. Resorted to putting half the mixture in a cake tin lined with grease proof paper and 12 muffin moulds per the picture. I baked at 200c for 15 mins then brushed the tops with an egg and milk wash, then baked for at least another 5-10mins and let them cool in the moulds. It made a very nice light fluffy sponge. Not much like a scone but they will pass for my afternoon tea tomorrow and they taste lovely.

Better than other recipes I had tried. They got lots of compliments from guests and fam. I used a 6cm cutter and 8 came out. 15min in oven.

Fantastic and easy recipe.

Pretty good basic recipe. As was suggested in another recipe, I froze and grated the butter. Works very well. I used regular flour and an extra 3,5 tsp baking powder, instead of self raising. Rolled the dough into a disc and cut it into wedges. 10 minutes baking time doesn't seem correct, the scones needed at least 15-17 min at 200°C (fan) in my oven.

Tried this as an alternative to my regular scone recipe which is much more complex. Really easy and done in matter of minutes . I couldn’t find my circular cutters so just cut the dough myself , hence the very rustic look . Had to leave them in the oven for about twenty minutes as after ten they were very pale and not cooked. Would make again as very simple and taste nice .

Best scones I ever made. Delicious with clotted cream and jam.

10 minutes at 200 degrees fan oven was spot on for these scones. Quick to make. I use a food processor to blend flour and butter then transfer to mixing bowl before adding other ingredients. I throw in a handful of sultanas with dry ingredients. Lovely light scones

I made these as a gift for my mum and she was happy. Ik that cold butter is essential so i froze the butter before mixing it into the dough, and then after i made the mixture i put it in the freezer before cooking it in the oven

Loved by the whole family! Cooked them in an air fryer turned them over to bake on both sides and I also cut up figs in to small pieces. Tasted great 👍

I did have to cook them a little longer but they look good! Can't wait to try them!

So yummy!

Flour 2 1/2 cup

Delicious, light and fluffy. I used a 6cm cutter and made 10 scones from a batch which still getting a wonderful rise. Mine needed the full 15 minutes.

Perfect scones everytime!! So quick and easy, plain or fruit.
