Ultimate Guide to British Scones (Make any flavor!)

[@thriftteavintage]

As a British person and a baker I can confirm these are American Scones nothing like English scones. Our scones are more like the American Biscuits but slightly sweet and the only 3 flavour options traditionally are plain, “fruit scones” which are dried currents and raisins or savoury cheese scones. Then sweet scones are traditionally served with clotted cream and Jam or butter. And they are always round, never triangle and never with icing.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Yup, you definitely sound like a British person.

[@davidv.8655]

Well you did say British scones . They really aren't​@@Thestayathomechef

[@jadathomas3684]

very yummy thank you ! Substituted heavy cream with 1cup of milk and 1 tb of vinegar. Therefore changed the baking powder to 1 1/4 teaspoons and 1/4 baking soda

[@anastasiak6111]

I really love scones with ham and cheese. I add cheese and ham to the dough and then put it in the oven to bake. It is delicious! 😋

[@Thestayathomechef]

Sounds delicious!

[@xjoy1163]

Omg i used your recipe. Coconut milk instead of milk and no egg. They came out super bouncy! Though 12 minutes wasnt long enough (though i have an old not very good oven) so i left it for qnother 3-4 mins. They are super duper soft and taste soooooo good. Thank you so much!

[@SarahCharlie20]

My husband loves this recipe. I have made 3 batches each time and brings it to work 3x now. Thank you for this recipe

[@FreyaFreyaWillow]

Thank you for this recipe! I want to try making a version with apples and raisins. Or just apple scones without any raisins. 🍎

[@electrayakamozi9386]

As someone that has lived in the UK, scones are actually sweet bread buns, therefore they usually come in round shape, which are cut in half so ingredients like cream-frae, butter and jam can be spread on top. Also, their dough is usually plain or comes with pieces of dry fruits like sultana raisins. But overall I loved this version of scones recipe. It was very creative and it’s a nice treat to have around😊!!!

[@sh1927]

I use a mandoline instead of a grater for the butter, for two reasons: it's easier to clean, and the slices of butter mimic the traditional layers better than grated, making my scones flakier. Thank you for your wonderful recipes.

[@Mia-xu1mb]

Made these with strawberries instead of blueberries. Did just about everything the same, but I added 1/8 tsp. lemon extract, took five more minutes in the oven, and topped the glaze with some chopped pecans. Incredible. Thank you for the recipe!

[@Naweeya1]

I made this recipe, blueberry one today and it came out amazing! It was very easy to make and surprise me with how delicious they were. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@faridhatraylor9661]

Just made these in flavors blueberry-lemon, apple-date & cranberry-orange. My family loved them & said they like these better than Starbucks & aubonpain!!! Total hit. Thank you.

Yumm! I am going to make several of these versions for church tomorrow. We have a lot of college students come, and they love home baked goodies. Thanks for the recipes!

I've made two batches of scones using your recipe and they have come out amazing. My family is loving every bite. Thank you for sharing.

[@UBvtuber]

I tried this tonight and the results were super crumbly, soft, and light in the middle. It was absolutely delicious and my family loved it too.

[@paulasiefert2059]

I made these with blueberries and zest of lemon. They are wonderful!

[@emilypadron9664]

Oh my god. These are so flipping good I can’t stop making them!! Everyone thinks I’m a master baker! I make the chocolate but I also add 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

[@annmarcano-martin9]

I made the cranberry version today (without egg) and they were absolutely delicious! The 1 cup of liquid was too much for me though, so I will adjust this next time. Other than that.... Pure delight!

[@njsarn]

Agree, 1C of Heavy Cream is way too much. It was all floppy. So I added 1/2C more FLOUR and that was still too soft.

[@ptcharlee]

I made this scones without the egg and they were delicious, now i gotta try with the egg, thank you so much for the recipe. It is Fantastic!

From UK here, most typical flavour I see is Raisin instead of Blueberry but all your versions looked great too! Cut em in half and top with butter, jam and cream!

[@Thestayathomechef]

I love all flavors!

[@chillaxin813]

The Stay At Home Chef hi Rachel! How would I incorporate apples to this recipe?? This is my favorite type of scone😊

[@vincanityl]

In the US, they make blueberry. Not a fan. I am a fan of plain or the apricot cream cheese recipe from King Arthur's baking company. Highly recommend.

[@cath9416]

I changed heavy cream to full cream milk and its still good thanks for the recipe love it💖

[@Thestayathomechef]

Glad it worked for you (:

[@jelsner5077]

Thanks for this Americanized version! I will make them "British-style" with currants, and cut them out in a circle. But great to have the proportions for the ingredients in cups, etc, as that is what I am used to. Now, I have to look up a recipe for clotted cream...

[@atinycrow]

Chef John has a good clotted cream recipe.

Best scones recipe I have watched + Your way of cooking and clearing things out is super good.. Thanks from Egypt 😻

[@vincenzosplate]

Wooow, my favorite is blueberries ones and chocolate ones, of course😍🍫

[@CM93H]

I made this recipe again but without the egg and it turned out just as good as with the egg! I found that without the egg , the dough came out perfect. I made the cranberry orange scone. When I added the egg the first time, my dough was too wet but it baked well anyways!

[@sarahm4046]

I love these scones!!! They’re way better than the dry version. Just a note for high altitude bakers: add a bit more flour at the end to form a dough or it may be sticky. Otherwise these turned out great!

[@Thestayathomechef]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Thestayathomechef]

Wonderful!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

This isn’t a criticism, just a correction. Your scones look delicious, but they are Americanized scones, not British ones. British scones are more like a lightly sweetened (American) biscuit. They even look like biscuits. They’re usually cut with a circular cutter, or some use a glass of the desired circumference to cut them. The most common flavor is plain but if you want a fruit scone, currants or other raisins are used. They’re usually cut open and spread with clotted cream and/or jam. Again, I’m not throwing shade, just providing information.

[@samanthakavanagh]

Dark Iris i agree with this. also scones from here dont have cream in

[@s.dudley5072]

These aren't British Scones but they're better than Starschmucks, which is what Americans think are scones. Once you have a 'real' scone, you never go back. Fortunately for me, my first introduction to scones was on a British Airways flight in the 90's, of all places. I was hooked and spent much of my times in the UK searching for the best scone recipe. I learned to make them with 2 eggs and whole milk but this looks more like a biscuit recipe I have (sans the egg) and it's very good so these actually might come very close. At least they won't be those hockey pucks that I've found everywhere else. The trick to a good scone is that they're freshly baked. Sitting in a display cabinet all day makes them into a triangular Stone of Scone!! LOL

[@tysona23]

Yeah. The flour needs to be sifted to let Air in. Who the hell eats blueberry scones in the uk. Plain, sultana or cherry only

[@debbie2027]

I agree ..it was a mistake to label the video "British" ... Thank you for being kind Dark Iris

[@rebeccakirk6189]

Hi from the UK, to make our traditional scone you do not use egg and the liquid is milk xx

[@Thestayathomechef]

There are lots of regional variations. The traditional scone is from Scotland and is made from barley flour and oats.

[@shawnashley1165]

I do a fresh strawberry scone. Add 1 cup of chopped strawberries. Also, instead of glaze you sprinkle course sugar on the scones before you bake.

[@Speakupok]

[@UnityOfPlurality]

Thank you for sharing your recipe, I can't wait to try it out. Orange Chocolate Chip FTW!!!! And not those store bought chips from a bag, but get some good quality bakers block chocolate and cut the chocolate down into 1/2" squares! One step you could add to the recipe is; right before you cut them into eights, form the 'disk' into a square and cut into halves and stack them, smash that down then rinse and repeat this a few times, reform your disk and then cut your eights, you will get a flakier scone ;')

[@starzg8660]

Made it today, it turned out so well. The best.

[@jeannedosterwise8460]

So for the last two weeks I've made Scones for my Grandsons Play intermission. I made them with Cranberry/orange, Bacon /Maple, Cheese pepperoni olive, and without olive; Apple walnut and Banana. when I made the Chesses Pepperoni I used Mixed Italian seasoning instead of Sugar. They were all will received.

[@jeannedosterwise8460]

My biggest was my Pumpkin cream cheese

[@kaybrown4010]

My favorite scones are currant/pecan, without icing drizzle. Plump up the currants in some hot water or brandy first!

[@stormmatthews]

As a tip...add your fruit or chocolate chips first, before adding the wet ingredients, so you can easily combine them with the dry ingredients. Especially with the blueberries, if you add it in after the wet ingredients, it’s harder to combine that you run the risk of crushing the berry and it bleeding...which seemed to have happened in this case. However, if it does, it’s ok...it all goes in the tummy anyway...but if you do want it easier to combine and less bleeding, best to add it before you add the wet ingredients.
