My mum used to make minced beef pies rock cakes, rhubarb crumbles, jam tarts, shortbread, scones, fairy cakes. We had a really scrumptious afternoon tea sandwiches , pies cakes etc this was the perfect family time. All together eating glorious food and chatting miss those days.

@@sueshynn586 I assume you come from England having received a Bero cookbook but here in Australia back in 1964 when I went to high school at 13 it was much the same. Us girls went to Domestic Science learning the finer points of how to look after our man [ hehe], while the boys went to woodwork and metalwork classes. Education has come a long way since then and now even boys are exposed to the survival things in life, such as cooking and sewing on buttons, even sewing shorts etc, while the girls can take woodwork or metalwork classes, which my daughter excelled at....she's not her father's daughter for nothing.

My Mum often made scones for dinner (evening meal) on a Sunday. We would sit down to dishes of jam and cream, butter and other toppings. Sometime she made fruit scones too. She wrapped the scones in a clean teatowel in the centre of the table, and we all dug in and topped with what we wanted. Such fun memories. She also never used a circular cutter. She would just pat out the dough and cut into squares, thus eliminating the need to handle the dough again to make more scones. Her scones never failed.

I am a Yorkshire lass. Mum and Nana never put eggs in their scones and neither do I. I think they help to make the scones heavy. I agree about not working the mixture much. I don’t roll them out either. Just pat the mixture a little bit but leave it quite thick. We like our scones to be bigger than a mouthful. Cheese scones and soup makes a perfect winter lunch.

My US Army father used to rave about my English mother's scones [shed died when I was a child so I never knew her]. Anyway, in his later years he talked about them all the time. He said she would put the dough together in a few minutes, pat it with her hands and cook them on the stove in minutes. I made some [baked] scones for him when he was very ill and he liked them. Since he passed about 20 years ago I've tried my hand at scones and also crumpets, which might have been what my mother had made him. Watching the British Baking Show, I've tried some of those, including Mary Berry's version. Watching you make them helps me see how to do it since I'm more of a visual learner. Thank you!!!

Scones are a childhood favorite of mine. As I was growing up in the State of Washington, my family would go to the Sate Fair. As soon as you entered the fair grounds, the mouth-watering aroma of scones would lead you to their booth. The line to purchase one was long. But was it ever worth it! We were only given one scone each, but the scones tasted like heaven. I can't remember the price, but when you bit into your warm scone with butter and jam, your day was complete! Thank you for a lovely afternoon watching you bake scones. They tasted delicious!

The scones look lovely. In some countries we do not have selfraising flour (i.e. Scandinavia and Finland). I need to use perhaps 4 tsp of raising agent. I have to experiment a bit. I think I'll make some tomorrow. I love British shortbread so I might make some of that, too. Here it is apple season so one can make a lot of lovely stuff, I might put some shredded apple in the scones. I have two old apple trees full of apples. Far to much for one person so I share with the villagers. I wish everybody a lovely Autumn time.

The next day I defrosted them and warmed them briefly in the oven. We ate them with home-made strawberry jam and clotted cream. Although they came out rather mis-shapen and varying in size, they tasted great! (And received compliments from our friends ...)

I'm 76 and have my Mam's Bero book, 34th edition, printed November 1974 it says, and also have the Stork book, The New Art of Cooking metric edition from 1978, which I bought myself on a trip back home from Canada after 10 years. I'm in the same boat re self raising flour being hard to find, and although it's now more available than it was 50 years ago it comes in only small bags which are never enough, so I sought out plain flour plus raising agent versions of all recipes that I used to make before emigrating. Yes, there are instructions to make your own SR Flour out there but I found so many differing versions of amounts that I was paralyzed. Trial and error attempting various recipes I found here and there helped a lot. With some sad results as you might imagine, but I now have a couple of versions which I can rely on. The things one misses when changing countries. Self raising flour, Lyle's golden syrup, a decent crumpet, which is NOT an English muffin! Thank goodness Bird's custard powder was always on the store shelves. 👍😊

I learned to cook and bake in my Mom's and my Grandma's kitchens where recipes were rarely used and family favorites came from adding ingredients we all loved. The Be-Ro cookbook reminded me of those days. I still make my Grandma's dumpling "recipe" and add them to my potato soup as a thickener.........Thank you for your comforting videos, Kate.

I've always split my scone dough into 2 disks and then cut them into 6 or 8 pieces each..like a pie. Then bake. And I do believe that handling the dough less results in a much better scone. 💚

Watching this ages after you posted it. Old recipes used much less sugar. I have reverted to cooking cakes etc from an old stork recipe book. Stork is/was block margarine! I use butter instead. My grandchildren have not noticed their ‘treats’ are not as sweet as modern shop bought cakes and biscuits.

Loved the steps to perfect scones, as I have only achieved it once and never managed to repeat it ! My Mum has a Royal Baking powder pamphlet that she collected coupons for in the 1950s. Every year of my childhood and the 27years I am married we make the Christmas cake in it, last year she moved in with us and it was wonderful to make it again with her like I did as a child😋 Looking forward to the next video.

Love your show! Here in Australia we make scones with lemonade and cream. No butter, no rubbing into the flour, no eggs. 3 cups SR. Flour, 1 cup of fizzy lemonade, don’t use sugar free, 1 cup pouring cream. Mix together with a knife until just combined, do not over mix. Turn onto a floured surface and pat into a 2.5 cm thickness, cut out, bake for 12 minutes at 180 degrees c. Fluffiest scones ever! They freeze well too. ❤️

As a new American bride, and having just moved to the Tongan Islands in the South Pacific, I cooked a local biscuit recipe for our evening meal. I thought it unusual that it called for sugar, but proceeded anyway. I felt so silly when they were done and realized I had baked cookies instead of American biscuits.

You can still get the BeRo book from their website. They are on the 41st edition now, which I ordered after hearing about it from a sewing vlogger from your neck of the woods. Your scones looked fabulous. If I were closer I'd pop round and help you eat them! What are you going to with all those eggs? I look forward to your calming videos each week. Thank you for doing them for us.

I'm on a diet and the thing I miss most is my baking. Yesterday I made a gf birthday cake for a friend and felt so out of practice. I love scones, yours look lovely and its hard not to rush to the oven immediately to bake some! I have a recipe for apple scones that includes raw grated apple. They last a couple of days really well.

Good Monday morning Kate from south australia, breakfast with you. Kust a couple of hints when cutting scones have a smalldish with a little bit of flour and between each cut dip cutter in flour and we were taught never twist tje cutter as this drages mixture where a clean cut helps with consistent rise, always add a dash of milk in your egg glaze. I had two cooking teachers one in the country who taught us girls quick methods to cook for shearers and then one at a city school.who was obsessed with hi-tea cooking, my second teacher was in dispare with my methods but the head mistress always chose my finished efforts as the best in class. Kate just a little suggestion this morning you were hard to hear, I noticed your mic was pointing down and was rather low on your pinny strap. But thankyou for the yummy fruit scones on the LGS this morning. I used to make a weeks supply for the elderly couple I cared for, they expected them for morning tea ebery day so would make a batch once a week, with a few extras in case of visitors and freeze the extras heating each morning under a warm grill when I put the kettle on they turned out perfectly just in time to pour the brewed tea, such fond memories. Blessings, still a bit chilly to breakfast outside here but warming up later in the week.
