How to make scones | Mary Berry scone recipe | Mary Berry | Afternoon plus | 1979

[@HelenaGMartins]

So interesting to see a completely different approach to cooking and kitchen apparel. No stand mixer, if you don't have a cutter, use a glass, if you don't have a rolling pin use a milk bottle or your hands... I loved watching this, it made me think that we might be overreacting on what our real needs are nowadays :) Oh! And Mary Berry so charismatic :)) Thank you for sharing!

[@chelsfromyoutube]

This is the reason I liked this video. It was down-to-earth, her advice was awesome and practical.

[@chrisw6704]

Agreed. It is the same making bread, some people claim to make their own bread and use a breadmaking machine, whereas there is only a set of scales, bowle and a measuring jug really necessary to make bread by hand.

[@chrisw6704]

I meant to add to this the great thing about 'getting your hands in' is that you learn to judge the consistency of what you are making.

[@arizonasunflowers5226]

One reason for using less modern appliances and wearing this vintage-type apparel is because this is pretty old; Mary Berry today is a tiny little old lady with many wrinkles and white hair and quite a different voice.

[@sarelito9202]

Good old-fashioned no nonsense baking. No fancy gadgets, just your hands and skills.

[@beachgirl1947]

This is how we all started cooking back then. So easy, use your hands and forget all the fancy accessories there are today. So much more satisfying!

8 ounces (one cup) self rising flour, sifted 1 tsp baking powder pinch salt 2 ounces (4 tbsp) margarine or butter, softened rub it in by hand or with a machine after mixing into a crumb like consistency, add 1 tbsp of sugar in a measuring cup, add 1 egg and then add milk until it reaches 5 fluid ounces, slightly over. then add this mixture to the dry ingredients leaving a bit in the measuring cup for glazing. if the dough is too sticky, add more flour. mix with a fork or knife to keep the dough airy and light flour your hands, a rolling pin and the surface you will be working on. dont handle the dough too much, it should be quite soft. roll it out to about half an inch. cut out little scones with a cutter or cup and place them next to each other, touching on a greased pan. glaze them with the egg wash that is left over. bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

A better way to do it is to grate your cold butter into the flour. Be careful and fluff it quickly or it will try to lump up into a mass again. Quick and effective.

[@brockreynolds870]

Now, for those who are confused as to what the differences are between American biscuits and English Scones, American biscuits have no eggs, no sugar, about twice as much butter in the dough. They are also baked at 450 degrees, which Mary does 425.... quite hot compared to most scone recipes. The end result is that scones are more crumbly/cakey, while American biscuits are more flaky due to the higher butter content.

[@katefarr2036]

Americans, like me, have also made biscuits with lard, or shortening, instead of butter, and use buttermilk. Sometimes we use shortening AND butter. Makes a better crumb. Also? I will make, if I’m really feeling it, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. And bag on it all you want, it’s definitely not chipped beef on toast, or SOS. It’s actually good. I also make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy maybe once a year. Cholesterol is a thing.

So good, except what do they look like cooked? So sad to cut it off there. But wow so great to see her from this time. Recently watched Paul Hollywood make scones as well and the recipe and method is very similar! I see he just changed the milk and egg method. Cute to see both.

[@roychefets6961]

My English mother made these and used an ordinary drinking glass to cut them out. If you like you can add raisins or currents.

[@xKellogsx]

or choc chips, cinnamon chips, walnuts, blueberries, dried fruit such as strawberries or apricots, the options are endless.

[@carolynnecp]

Believe it or not, the first televised cooking programme in the world was in the United Kingdom on the BBC on Wednesday, 12 June 1946 at 8:55 pm. The programme, called simply “Cookery”, starred Philip Harben and was 10 minutes long. I can remember as a child mid-1960s my mum watching the odd cookery programne and they even had night school classes then, for housewives to learn how to cook which she went on with a friend, as a kind of social thing and a rest from being at home, whilst dad minded the children.

I learnt how to make scones during lockdown! I use a BBC recipe similar to Mary's. Differences: no egg, slightly warm milk and ed Lennon juice, leave scones mixture thicker (4cm) and HEAT the baking try while preparing. Finally, use a straight edge, sharp cutter as it makes scones rise much better.

Soft spread, or margarine makes the perfect soft texture for me.
