All over the UK people are shouting "That's NOT how you eat them". Guessing that National Trust book doesn't tell you to slice them? Also, once you've cut out the scones from the dough mix, we would bring the remaining mix together and roll out to make more on repeat until all the dough is used up - I'd be disappointed if I didn't make 12-15 scones per batch.

[@nigelmacbug6678]

you forgot the clotted cream Ingredients 4 cups heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized) Directions Preheat the oven to 175 to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Pour cream into a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan is ideal). Cream should be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 hours. Do not stir. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight. Push aside a corner of the top layer of thickened cream; carefully pour liquid into a container for baking. Pack thickened (clotted) cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

[@samstevens7888]

They would have to make the clotted cream it isn't sold in the usa even in the fufu shops. They can't even get single cream. The nearest to single cream is half and half (which is half cream half milk) I can tell you from experience it is not it. I'm lucky when I go over there I know people with milk cows, that will let me come milk a cow out and do what I want with the raw milk. It makes my English heart cry with how food is treated in the usa.

[@cefngwyn]

As a 63-year-old Welsh bloke I agree with all that Linda says with regard to the cooking of scones. If you can't get clotted cream in the States, you could whip ordinary cream into a thick frenzy and use that. Strawberry jam is a must though - accept no substitute.

When putting jam on, actually put jam on. You put barely any jam on them, don't be afraid to smother the scones in jam and to taste even better, warm them up and eat with a cup of tea.

[@Lixmage]

Hey JT and Anna, so glad you enjoyed them but you can so take the whole experience to the next level. Cook the fruit ones for a few minutes more so they are golden. Let them cool a little and then slice them in half. Then butter them using a KNIFE - more butter than you added. Then add jam - LOTs more than you added - don't be scared. Finally, if you can get hold of clotted cream add that on top and absolutely eat with a cup of tea. Then you are pretty much looking at perfection. With the cheese scones try adding a little mustard to the dough and sprinkle them with a little paprika once you cut them in half and finally spread them with more butter than you did and use a knife. I think you will really appreciate the difference. Finally, up your cutting game JT - you had WAY too much dough left over. Cut right to the edges and when done make a new ball with the rest, roll out and recut.

[@lauren7558]

Absolutely agree with you above Lixmage. Just to add my two cents (gotta) the butter must resemble plastering a wall. Nice and thick. Your arteries must shout NO!!!!

[@carolineann5518]

You wanna try the scones cut in half and put some clotted cream and jam in them.

[@jessieb7290]

After you’ve made them, let them go cold. Then slice them in half horizontally (place it on its side and slice in half). Then, traditionally you’d add clotted cream (made in Cornwall I believe), and strawberry jam. You could use any jam these days, you can also use Mascapone or double cream instead of clotted cream if you can’t get any. Maybe try looking at the foreign foods section of your supermarket. We can get some American things over here in our supermarkets in the foreign foods section. Clotted cream has a layer of (I think it’s fat, or something) on the top, I always scrape that layer off and there’s this delicious creamy well, cream underneath. It’s so good. Also: if you halve them and put cream and jam on both sides, it’s like eating two in one 😋 Couple baking is so cute 😂 This was a nice, friendly, relaxing cooking show….more cooking please 😂🥰

[@markjones127]

Well for once you two can tell most of the people who are replying that they're wrong, traditionally you are never meant to cut a scone in half, a scone should always be prised into two halves with a fork, you push the fork in half way and twist and a well baked scone will magically break into two perfect halves. You did so much better this time, well done! Now all you have to do is tweak a few things to perfect them, your scones didn't rise, they stayed flat, and leave them in the oven until the top is a little golden, you may need to use butter to serve them but we'd use clotted cream instead, I'd never use butter and clotted cream, and you can't replace clotted cream with heavy cream as they're not the same thing, so for you guys I'd just stick to butter and jam, inside the scones after you've split them in two. To get them to rise you simply need to work on your technique, when making the dough you need to be fast and direct and have your hands in contact with the dough as little as possible, a lot of good bakers don't even bother incorporating all the ingredients properly, so you'll still see lumps of butter in the dough, and some chill the dough after handling it and before baking, basically the cooler you can keep the dough the more it will rise in the over, they should rise like to around double their height or so, but this is a HUGE improvement on the last effort, just a few minor tweaks and you'll get there!

you can squidg and re-roll the dough until all the mix is scones. we put clotted cream on the sweet scones (plain, fruit, cherry or apricot are the ones i have generally seen, i like to match apricot or cherry jam with those scones), we also slice them in half across ways. we are experts in comfort foods, its all the rain we find joy in food

[@dantheman9228]

The reason it says sift the flour into the bowl is to put air into the self raising flour which helps the scone rise in the oven.😉

Some tips. The fruit ones slice in half and put clotted cream and strawberry jam on them. The cheese ones add half a teaspoon of must powder into the flour it adds a slight tangy taste to them. Also cook them a bit longer so they are golden brown. Take them straight from the over slice them in half and butter the inside of both halfs.....soooooo good.

[@luciferbox5577]

Hey, love that you’re trying British foods. This was a pretty good attempt at making scones, although like most people, I was slightly horrified that you put the butter and jam on top of the fruit scones, rather than inside. With any scone, you slice them in half first, then add the filling. Also, you don’t have to eat them as soon as they come out of the oven. Scones are usually eaten when they’ve cooled down. Finally, it’s important to have a hot cup of tea when you eat a scone, simply because they are on the dry side. If you’d like to have a go at another British treat, might I suggest Bread Pudding? It’s made with bread (obviously), but also includes sultanas and mixed spice. Very easy to make and very, very tasty. It’s actually very special to me, because my mom used to make it and when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I shot a video of her making one so that I would always know how to. She passed away earlier this year, and I’m so glad I did. It’s here on KZbin, along with various other versions of bread pudding made by other people, but hers was and is the very best. I have a cousin in West Virginia and his wife wanted the recipe, but unfortunately, mixed spice isn’t easily available in the U.S. apparently, so she makes it with cinnamon instead. Not quite the same taste, but, if that’s all you can get.

[@moxymoe]

just a pinch of english mustard powder in the cheese scone mix makes a big difference , only about 1/4 of a tsp tho! It doesnt add heat or even flavour, it more enhances the cheese

[@gordon767]

When you held up the lump of dough and said you could make just one big scone - you absolutely can, like an Irish soda bread but with fruit in it. Form a dome, cut it across in an X and bake. I do it quite often as a breakfast bread :)

Fresh and warm from the oven is best but a good scone doesn't need to be eaten warm, they will last for a few days in an airtight container. Split or cut into top and bottom halves and spread the cut sides of each half with softened/room temperature butter, before adding the jam, or try with thick clotted cream and jam(no need for butter). Warm cheese scones, thickly buttered so the butter melts into them, with some ham/bacon and/or some sort of fruit chutney/pickle on them. Or swap out the biscuits in a US style biscuits and gravy, with fresh cheese scones instead.

[@WyndStryke]

My favourite is cheese scones. Homemade scones are always great. As everyone says, for the fruit scones, slice them in half (preferably when they are still warm from the oven) & put lots of clotted cream & jam in the middle, very generously. With cheese scones, I tend to either eat them as they are, or cut them in half, add a slice of cheese, microwave to melt the cheese, and have them like that.

Fact

[@livestocknetwork320]

Cheese scones contain strong dried cheese such as parmesan, and topped with grated cheddar on top to distinguish them from the plain. It's probably not a good idea to use all-butter because butter dries the product out. Scone dough should be mildly sticky, and the raw scones need to be rested for 20 minutes. Sultanas are also known as golden raisins. A 1 inch thickness is ideal...

[@AnonEyeMouse]

Cut them in half, but also make em a bit thicker... so this kind of balances out. Butter both sides of the scone, THICC layer of jam and twice as much clotted cream. For the cheese... use it like a muffin for eggs benedict.

Scone is pronounced "skon" in Scotland, the land of scones. See the wonderful BBC television show "Still Game" set in Glasgow. In Series 1 episode 6 entitled "Scones", the character Tam has won a caption writing competition, using the catchword "S'gone" on a poster showing a plate with leftover crumbs of scones, which implies that a particular brand of delicious scones was quickly devoured.

I love a cheese scone to go with a tomato soup (as you would a grilled cheese sandwich). I also think one of the joys of scones - both sweet and savoury - is that they freeze beautifully, and then you can just warm them up in the oven.

I never put eggs, but I use buttermilk or sour milk or cream and baking soda. Raisins are large seeded dried grapes, sultanas are seedless grapes, and currants are very small dried grapes. I prefer to use dried mixed fruit, which has a mix of all three plus dried candied citrus peel. You can also make them plain. The cheese scones go well with stewed meat.

OMG they looked lush. When I make them we cut them in half and spread them with butter. We either eat them in 2 halves or put them back together.

There’s a bit of an argument between Cornwall and Somerset as to do you put cream on first then the jam on top of the cream or put jam on first slop a dollop of cream on top. You choose. Brilliant job kids well done with the scones look delicious. I’m sure your Moms will love the scones and delicate finger sandwiches for high tea (around 3 - 4 pm). They’ll love it. Finger sandwiches are two slices of bread with your choice of filling cut, the crusts off then cut them in half and then cut the halves in half so they are more delicate than a fist full. Make some more cakes or maybe a Pecan pie and slice them delicate as well. All this is usually served in a three cake plate tower in the middle of the table or as much as you need to make, then warm the scones up to put the cream and jam on. That’s a “good luck with that “ situation for the moms. This high tea is served at all the big posh hotel restaurants all over the Uk and around the commonwealth around the world. Cheers both!

I make the mixture more moist so it’s hard to handle when cutting into rounds. They are soooo moist when baked never dry

[@kerrydoutch5104]

Aussie here I wasnt going to react but I nearly popped a vein. . You need to split/cut them in half horizontally spread the butter and jam or whatever on both sidez then eat both halves seperately or put them back together like a sandwich. The standard scone without fruitt or cheese is eaten with jam and thick whipped or clotted cream. Tips to make sure theyre light and fluffy - dont knead the dough just mould it into a ball with your hands. The dough should be a little bit sticky, not dry like pie crust pastry. Damp dough means lighter scones. . Dont use a rolling pin just press out the dough with your hands. Just keep dusting the counter and your hands lightly with flour. Have your oven as hot as you can which will make them rise quickly and check them after 10 mins.

Top tips for making scones, don't overwork the mixture, don't roll to thin (about 3cm) and do not twist the cutter,. The scones should have a natural break line when they come out of the oven, so no need to cut.

Yep jam and cream and cut in half. Amazing vid loved it

[@chixma7011]

Good effort! A couple of tips for you, 1) mix in a much bigger bowl, it’s much easier to rub in the butter 2) use a flat bladed knife (much easier than a wooden spoon) to draw the milk and egg into the dry ingredients, the more you handle the dough the tougher it becomes, 3) make the scones twice as thick so that you can slice them in half and each half will be about as thick as the ones you made. No need for kneading or a rolling pin, just tip the dough out and pat it down onto the work bench to the right thickness and it won’t be too squashed. That’s the only time I ever touch the dough when I make scones. Finally, get properly stuck in with the butter and a thick layer of jam. It’s the only way, especially if you haven’t got any cream. Clotted cream is best - and someone’s told you how to make it on here - but you could use well beaten heavy cream instead. It’s another taste level. The best bit is that you were imagining a cuppa to go with them!

JT and Anna, what we do after cooking the scones, is cut the scones, through the middle and put the butter on the bottom half and the jam on the top half, turning it into a sandwich scone. Then with the cheese the some with the cheese but yours is ok to. You could also put jam on bottom and whipped cream on top of jam, make sandwich. Good Luck Suzi from Scotland

[@thomasrae9730]

Didn't you reroll the scone dough leftover from the first cutting and make more scones with what was left. You didn't throw out the leftover did you 🤔. That's a few scones short of a full load 😅. My mum showed me how to make scones before I had started school. I was 4 and it was 1969 in Scotland. A few years back . Licking the mixing bowl clean after use and before actual proper hot water cleaning was a treat. Long before computers and a whole lot more.

[@jodizenzele6392]

I pray they did, if not… JT and Anna you’re monsters 😂😮

[@thomasrae9730]

@@jodizenzele6392 Thank You for making me giggle. Nice to have a happy feeling at anytime.

The best scones to eat are Cream Scones, basically cut plain scones in half put on on half with jam then fresh cream ( and I mean REAL cream) on the orher half then put them together and there you will have the best scones ever. 😋😋😋

[@lynette50]

They look amazing guys ❤

[@cstock7624]

To enhance the flavour of the cheese scones use a sharp cheddar and half a teaspoon of mustard powder. when done cut in half and put a bit of butter on each half.

[@happilyeggs4627]

In the North of England we make sandwiches with breadcakes (bread rolls) with cheese and jam. They are called barm cakes. We sometimes make them with cheese, jam, and slices of apple.

[@hayley37732]

I've had apple and cheese sandwiches but never had jam in them lol I'm up north east we must just not do the jam here lol

[@WhirrunofBligh]

One of my favourite things growing up glad you like them ✌🏻😃✌🏻

[@user-co4ec3vz7j]

cheese and chive scones are really nice and you can cook scones in an air fryer, absolutely beautiful

[@michaelcartwright1260]

Scones are a wonderful thing. If you ever try the fruit ones again; try a bit of mixed peel / candied peel with the sultanas. It doesn't make a huge difference but you might prefer a slightly citrus flavour.

[@clarkycfc1]

You guys smashed that btw. Great job

[@Loulizabeth]

Hot Cheese scones are great with a bowl of soup on a cold day. Or just by themselves halved and maybe slightly toasted under the grill spread with butter and maybe some extra grated cheese, maybe we with some chutney or pickle (I love caramelised red onion chutney) with a cup of tea.

[@wendypoole7041]

Cut in half horizontally, butter and jam

[@josephbloggs7555]

when you make the mixture add a little more water so the mixture is slightly sticky and don't overwork (mix).Scrape it out of the bowl onto a floured worksurface, try not to roll , just sprinkle a little more flour on top to stop you sticking to the dough and pat down to about 1 1/2 inches deep.When you cut the scones out they should squeak as the accumilated air escapes. You can also brush the fruit scones with either milk or eggwash before baking which will make them look nicer when baked and retain more moisture. Another way to keep them soft is to reduce the spacing on the tray so they are about 1/2 inch apart and depending on how much they spread they will merge together, but still be able to be split apart. I recommend this way when you want a softer scone, but you may prefer the wider spacing if you are serving to guests, although I still use the tighter spacing as many Brits are used to seeing the sqashed style in commercial bakeries.

Was waiting for JT to crack the egg on Anna's head 😂

[@emmafaulkner8468]

Glad to see you enjoyed the scones, I love a cherry scone myself, you just take out the sultanas and drop in halved glace cherries instead, slightly sweeter and delicious.
