The recipe...
English Tea Scones
Makes about 16
3 ¼ cups all purpose flour (450grams)
1 stick soft butter (113grams)
½ cup plus 1 Tbs granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 egg
¾ - 1 ¼ cups of milk
1 cup raisins (if making fruit scones)
1 egg yolk for glazing
1) Set the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder and sugar.
Add and rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2) Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and about ¾ cup
of milk. With a metal spoon bring the mixture together making sure you do not over mix it or you will tighten the dough.
3) If the mixture is a little dry add more of the remaining milk gradually
. (You don’t want the mix too dry, or too set that it sticks to the rolling pin.)
4) Lightly dust the table with flour and roll out the dough to about 1 " thick. Then cut
using a 2" round cookie cutter. Place on a baking sheet about 1" apart and brush the tops
with the beaten egg yolk.
5) Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes. When cooked, lift onto a wire rack to cool.

i would like to give it a rasperry jelly ist and then cream on the top.,.

[@holistictherapist6494]

@Darren McGrady irish mashed potatoes without using cream please. My method is boiling the potatoes on way too high a heat usually electric five to start once the water turns starchy normally twelve to fourteen minutes and drain the potatoes and then refill with tepid water salted with pink himalayan salt or irish sea salt return to the boil and boil for six mins once potatoes are softening reduce heat to about mark three for a further ten to twelve mins and again drain now reduce once again to mark one and place a tea towel over the saucepan with the lid on a tilt once fairly well steamed then add butter and milk and mash until fluffy with few if any hard lumpiness left and serve

Daren, Have you ever tried the lemonade scones????. 4 cups of self-raising flour, 300ml of thickened cream, and 300ml of chilled lemonade. And if you wanted to do something different instead of lemonade, repla e with 300ml of stout beer. You can let it sit for a good 10 or 15 minutes and the will rise a little bit in the bowl. Should try it it's awesome.

I would be a cream first type of person. The jam would overwhelm the cream if theres too much of it, and so I want the cream to be the first taste on my tongue when I bite into the scone.

After watching this, I had to walk into a cafe and get myself my first ever scones with strawberry jam and cream. Omg 😱 it’s so good.

[@BlueIdiotPie]

I work at a tearoom here in the US and I love comparing our scone recipe to others. Most American scone recipes are frustratingly involved and p different from ours. This recipe is so similar to the one we use at work! Getting to eat "authentic" English scones when I toured there was so cool for me, though the fact that so many had black pepper on them was gross. Can't believe the Queen is a jam first person, what is she thinking? You have to put the cream on first or else it just slides around on the jam and doesn't stick

[@Darren_McGrady]

Noooooo.... JAM FIRST :)

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

[@simonhedges5134]

Cream first, clearly. It takes the place of butter. btw, I live in the UK and haven't yet come across scones with black pepper on: that does NOT sound good.

[@BlueIdiotPie]

@@simonhedges5134 I'm surprised you haven't come across them yet! They were everywhere when I was visiting, I couldn't avoid it. I get the idea behind it, I'm all for a good savory scone, but it was on top like you would see castor sugar on a scone in the states so you got smacked by the black pepper and it was just *blech*

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Yeah, Americans make huge, cakelike triangular scones with drizzles of icing on them, presumably to differentiate them from Southern "biscuits." And definitely cream first. It sticks to the scone better, and you can push a divot into it with the back of your spoon to hold even more jam.

[@silverlightx6]

I like my biscuits with honey-butter. (Note: The only real difference between American Southern Biscuits and British Scones are buttermilk instead of milk, no egg, and way less sugar)

[@InnuendoXP]

Scones don't even usually have egg, usually it's just a brush of milk over the top. I think some American biscuits are done to be flaky through rough lamination by treating the butter a bit differently the hydration level is slightly different too, and like you said, acid with the buttermilk. But I've seen some things Americans call scones which are these weird things with dried fruit & things mixed through & cut into triangles, look more like rock cakes than scones.

[@wholeNwon]

@@InnuendoXP Exactly. Unfortunately I, too, have had those dried fruit things...really horrible. As I recall from my youth, for the layered result or at least for the flakeyness, the butter must be cold, cut into the flower and handled very little. Best to use the biscuit cutter with the dough on a cold surface in the summer. I don't remember sugar. Baking powder, yes; or, buttermilk with a little baking soda instead. These look much better than other "scones" I've had.

[@InnuendoXP]

@@wholeNwon yeah agreed, I think British scones definitely do have a lot more in common with American biscuits than American scones, like yorkshire puddings to popovers.

May i know 1stick equal to how many grams of butter?

[@u6205110]

When looking at a standard stick of butter: 1 stick or 1/2 cup butter is equal to 4 ounces, or 113 grams. www.bhg.com/recipes/how-to/cooking-basics/how-many-grams-are-in-one-stick-of-butter/

Hello Darren, I am missing your recipe for clotted cream ! Regards from Germany 🇬🇧🇩🇪

[@xcraftminebb]

Love it

Cream first! Thank you for showing us how to make scones. I live in Mexico City and it's quite difficult to get someone who knows how to make these British meals like you!

Darren, thank you for your interesting and enjoyable videos. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to watch, and the stories of life working for the Queen is educational. As for recipes, would you please share some of the old recipes that have been served for decades? There must be traditional recipes that the Royal Family eats. I will make scones tomorrow. Jam first, then four times as much cream! .Cheers.

Were is the recipe of the scones?

Hi chef, where can I get the scone ingredients in your U tube channel please?

[@user-zi7yx9uc3t]

Darren, I like them very much. I am sure it was a great experience for you to cook for the Queen et al. The Queen is wonderful, devoted to Great Britain; I admire her a lot. However, I just made the scones today using your recipe. They came out great. Thank you! Gabriella

Could you do the recipes in grams so its consistent everywhere? Unless your American but they can do some quick conversions on google. As cups, tsp and sticks are really not a consistent measurement. Also for the oven temp I sure you mean 350 Fahrenheit but there are a few ovens that go up to 350 Celsius so someone that has never baked before may just set their oven on fire or at the very least make charcoal if you don't state what you are using.

This tells my why my biscuits are always hard. I am kneading them to much. Thank you Chef.

Congratulations Darren on the new channel. Just want to say you have a great way about you that suits tv so well. I’m now a regular maker of Salmon Coulibiac now thanks to you too. Can’t wait for new videos. I was going to ask whether you would be able to do any dishes involving game like Rabbit or Venison? Cheers, Laurie
