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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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 you for getting back to me Kate regarding the low volume on this latest vid. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your wonderful entries, and thank you for all you do to keep us going in these strange times. Please keep doing what you do, it is very much appreciated, and I can not wait to see your next instalment after 7.00pm every Sunday! Jilly xxx

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.

I live alone but just love Victoria sponge cake... What I do now is, make a single sponge and when it's cooked cut it in half across and jam and cream it put one half onto 'tother so it's like half a cake.. and share it with a neighbour... all the pleasure of cake without the excess weight...

Thank you very much, Kate, for your inspiering videos. I will try baking scones again. In two weeks time I will be in UK, togehther with my husband riding our bicycle from Newcastle to Glasgow and back, and enjoying tea and scones in our Tearoom-breaks. I will send you a silent short distance greeting then.

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.

Interesting, living in the USA I had never heard the Be-Ro book but watching another KZbinr from England (a sewing vlog) she and her husband were talking about the Be-Ro book. He was making Scones. Love scones and watching you make them! Now I am hungry for some! Thanks for sharing!

Kate you are the best! Canceling lard and margarine couldn’t agree more. Those ingredients show up in old cookbooks (Margarine was used for everything in my childhood home, The first time I had butter I thought I’d died and gone to heaven)

Lovely reading all the memories. Scones really a homely comforting quick bake which everyone loves. My mum never bothered with a cutter just cut them into rectangles so no wastage or re rolling. Tasted fantastic and looked really rustic. Thank you Kate 👏👏❤️❤️🇬🇧
