Go-To Recipe for Classic English Scones | Bake At Home | Cupcake Jemma

[@Rajeeve9810]

Sally is such a lovely presenter, her instructions are very clear and she is such a vibrant personality.

[@strawberry1025]

Hi Sally, I'm with you on the jam first then cream on top, and here in Ireland we also first butter the scones. My chef son gave me the tip to roll the dough into a thick sausage and freeze it so we can have fresh scones cooked straight from the freezer whenever we like. Just cut off thick discs and cook. They are quite a palava to make and they are never as fresh and soft the next day so it's great to be able to make a big batch of dough, freeze it, and have fresh scones whenever we like.

[@drananth]

This has been my dilemma for quite a while now. Can it be baked straight off the freezer or is there a waiting time to allow the dough to thaw? Is there a difference in oven setting & baking time when baking scones from the freezer as opposed to the oven setting & baking time of fresh scone dough?

[@VicZWYnl]

@@drananth Exactly what I was wondering as well! But considering the fact you feeze the dough as a log and still have to cut afterwards, It would seem more plausible that the scones have been thawed before baking?

[@drananth]

@@VicZWYnl tried them both ways, not worth sweating out the nitty gritty. Either way, it tastes great.

[@VicZWYnl]

@@drananth thank for letting me know :)

[@876hj7]

Made these today and they turned out just perfect! I have tried this recipe before and failed but this video really helped me understand the technique and importance of not overworking the dough. Thank you! xx

[@ruthuckardes7401]

I was just thinking this morning how I hoped Cupcake Jemma would have another video today....yippee!! You can also add raisins or even chocolate chips if you want something a little different :)

[@magicattic]

Yes, but make sure you add anything like that into the dry ingredients. You want them to go in just after the butter, and before anything wet. My favorite thing to add is a big handful of dried cranberries and about 2 teaspoons and freshly grated orange zest. Gorgeous and so fragrant!

[@mominetti]

...or fresh fruit. Yummm!

[@magicattic]

@@mominetti if you add fresh fruit you may want to reduce the amount of milk a smidge as the fruit will have a lot of liquid. Also, toss the finely chopped fresh fruit in a little flour before you add it to the mix, then it won't all sink to the bottom. I have never tried this, but it could work. Enjoy!

[@erin-iq8tm]

omg not chocolate chips in scones that is not right lmao

with the weather being so beautiful this is a classic british must have...which is the excuse i will use when i make them and scoff down several when my hubby asks :P Thank you C&D cant wait to give this a try All of you take care xxx

[@traceybartlam5940]

I made them as a change to my usual recipe which doesn’t have egg. I would say be cautious with the liquid. I didn’t put quite all of it in and it was much too wet 😳 I had to add flour which meant over mixing/handling my dough. Tasted good but definitely be cautious with liquid

[@dayglowjoe]

another technique, if you don't have a cutter, is to roll it out into a circle and cut slices like you would a pizza or a round cake. scone wedges are really nice too :) also, that way you don't have any leftovers to reshape. if you're making a lot of scones sperate the dough into separate circles so your wedge scones aren't too big.

[@msmw6159]

Here's a tip for adding the butter-use a cheese grater to grate the cold butter before adding it to the flour mixture. Works well to get buttery bits through all the flour!

[@FEMININELY_ME]

See how she's handling it so delicately? It's because scones require the slightest handling. Over mixing or having a hard hand on them actually makes them hard in the end. I've realised that the less I handled my dough and the wetter (but rollable still) it was, the softer and fluffier the scones came out. :)

[@kazzagreen84]

I love making them with thickened cream and lemonade. They're softer and yummier 😁

[@HB-md8ly]

When you are cutting your scones out of the dough, please don't twist your cutter around. The negatively effects the height and shape of your scones - that's why the scones are lop sided in the vid. Not the end of the world I know. But I just plunge my cutter down and pull it straight back up - no twisting. Gently push the scones out of the cutter if needed. Thank you Gary Rhodes RIP!! 😢- his scone recipe and the above technique has never failed me. This recipe looks lovely too.

[@magicattic]

So true! The twisting motion actually creates a seal on the layers of flaky dough and keeps the scone from rising. You need to layers to be free to lift. Good point!

[@marymiller9593]

I like them a little lop sided! 😂

[@discombobulatoryramblings]

100% this. Also, watching the egg-wash dripping down the sides, I thought to myself "They will be lopsided and barely rise...", which is exactly what came out of the oven. The dough was overworked, which is why they looked dense.

[@patz8692]

I totally agree by not twisting your cutter, just a clean straight cut down and up. Also another tip, is to try and place them as close as possible next to each other on the baking tray but not touching, and your scones will rise upwards without collapsing sideways.

[@davidf.8345]

Discombobulatory Ramblings Overworked the dough? She barely touched it. The part where she mix the flour and butter is not part of “working the dough”

[@rachelhoward334]

Never twist the cutter side to side like you do with pastry , use a plain cutter not a serated one, press the cutter straight down and pull straight back up, by twisting it you are sealing the edges which stops the scone from rising.

[@tanvikhare9710]

Ohh

[@red_violette]

Clotted cream, real clotted cream, is not a recipe, it's a method, and it requires raw cream, not pasteurized, so it's hard to do at home. I get small jars at Cost Plus World Market, or you can order on Amazon. Look up the method and you will see why I, as a former pastry chef, buy it.

[@kkwicks]

Inspired me this morning. They turned out so good!!

[@eleanorrodway263]

I think if you put a wash only on the top of the scones they rise straighter when baking. The wash on the sides is supposed to restrict the rise by baking faster as it’s liquid thus holding the scone down? My daughter (+grandchildren) made me some scones last week with just flour, cream and lemonade!!! They were delicious too 😃

[@nigelriley5538]

Wash on the top gives a glossy brown finish. If it runs down the side it seals the surface and stops it rising. Also twisting the cutter seals the surface, preventing rise.
