@informedchoice2249Ай бұрын
Toast your crumpets more. They need to be golden brown so they're crispy on top and bottom not rubbery they're tricky to get just right but better slightly overdone than underdone. Only for toasting. Don't eat without toasting.

Sweet scones are for jam and clotted cream. You can make savoury scones too, the best known ones are cheese scones so you were being somewhat misinformed. That said, not toasting scones can get you sent to the Tower! 💂

@ianoo23Ай бұрын
Minack theatre is one of the most impressive places I’ve visited! My Mum makes cheese scones like none I’ve had before, she uses extremely strong cheddar and substitutes half of the cheddar for Parmesan- before they go into the oven she puts a big pile of the Parmesan/cheddar mix on top of each scone so it melts down the sides and bakes them so they’re so crisp and dark! 🤤

Savoury scones are older than sweet scones, we've not had sugar as long as we've had cheese.

Apart from THE BEST (I guarantee you!!!!) pork flame cooked, ask for a bit of crackling, and DEFINITELY get Apple sauce .… even if you put it on the side of a plate in case it’s not your taste, but you must at least TRY it … it usually goes straight in the bun, but if you’re unsure of it just have it on the side 👍👍

The older savoury scone recipe is to all intents and purposes the same as an American biscuit, the best ones are cheese scones made with the most vintage West Country Cheddar you can get. Her real crime was not toasting the crumpets, that's akin to punching the monarch in the face then taking a dump in a Royal Guard's hat.
