My nain (Welsh for grandmother) used to make scones that just melted in the mouth. There was a ritual to the way she served them to us. We grandchildren would sit at the table in her kitchen, and our nain would put a plate of her freshly-baked scones in the centre of the table, accompanied by little dishes with butter and jam for spreading, and the big brown teapot with a woollen 'cosy' around it. We drank tea from a cup with a saucer (mugs were reserved for bedtime cocoa) and there was something so satisfying about it all. Today, I don't eat cakes very often, but whenever I do sit down to enjoy a scone with a cuppa, I always think of my lovely nain. Happy Days!

You were very lucky. I never had a grandmother or grandfather and my parents didn't believe in teaching boys how to cook.
Yes, I certainly was very lucky. Financially, we were poor, but a ittle treat like my nain baking scones are so precious. I'm sorry that you didn't have a similar experience in childhood, and I hope that you've still got some great memories to look back on.
My mother always made the straight cuts into her scone dough and not a crimpled cut because she used a drinking glass to cut them. She never had a cutter of any sort to use. Her scones were known in our town. She always said that the less time she had to make them, the better they turned out. She didn’t know it then, but the less time meant she wasn’t activating the gluten in the flour as much. My mom has passed but I can still taste her scones in my mind. Slightly still warm out of the oven and with lots of butter and jam…..delicious.
Have never made a scone in my life but followed this video today to make a birthday tea for mum. I just baked the most floouuffy pillowy scones ever. Mum said they were better than any she had ever had from a shop or cafe. Thank you Paul.
I now consider myself THE baking KING of our family after following this recipe. The Mother in Law had an operation recently, ruling her out of action for the past six weeks, as family 'master baker'. I grasped the rolling pin, rather than the nettle, rolled up my sleeves and baked for glory. After sunday lunch had settled, i made some lovely tea, and unveiled my scones, complete with strawberry jam and clotted cream. As I sat facing the Guru, she bit into my scone. She took a long pause, and through gritted dentures said "they are beautiful". Followed by "Where did you buy them from"? On hearing from my Daughter that I had baked them, she was clearly fuming. Noticable smoke emitting from her King Lear's. Useless son in law 1. Mother in law 0s Thanks Mr Hollywood.
Paul you are now my Hero ! Because Four children Eight grand children Fifteen great grandchildren and 76 years old I have just made the most Amazing delicious scones I have ever made by following your fantastic recipe a big big thankyou Granny Sandra 😍
I made these into savory scones by reducing the sugar by half, added 5g salt, 1/2c shredded cheddar and 1T fresh minced rosemary. Added these to the dry mix before egg & milk. They are ahh-mazing! Thanks, Blue Eyed Genius! Great recipe!
Cheddar scones are a favourite in our house, I don’t put rosemary in the mix (I might try that) but a good pinch if mustard powder and a twist of black pepper is really good.
You have just answered my question of how to turn them into cheese scones. It always amazes me how people from all over the world can come together to share knowledge. 😊
@@dustinthebrainI still use sugar, about 40g or a bit less. Think of it this way, when you make cookies, you add salt to complete the flavor. A bit of sugar in savory scones is much the same. They just taste a bit more complex and full flavored
when i was at school, im now 73, I got first prize for making scones I won because you could see the stretch of the scone raise. For the first time since moving to canada 35 years ago I want to make again so my Canadian hubby can taste the clotted cream with jam.
I stick my butter in deep freeze for a 1/2 hour then Hand-grate it much easier…..minimizes the time mixing butter and flour together keeping the blend cooler
I also hand-grate the butter onto a lightly floured plate, then I put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes while I get everything else together, then I mix it in.
30 years of making scones and you still look as happy with that first bite as you must have all those years ago ! that's how you know you really love what you're doing , thanks for sharing :)
I love how considerate he is with the words he uses to explain the process behind every little step. I will for sure try doing it like him for my first scone attempt! Thank you for being the person you are
I love the explanation of everything, helps me to become better at baking. My cakes used to come out like thin bricks before I started watching videos like this lol, now I get compliments on them, so it's much appreciated
You probably don't need any advice from the likes of me, but Ann Reardon's vanilla sponge is the best I've ever made, and the channel Tasty has a chocolate cake that I've made and that is just insanely good
I tried multiple recipes on RUclips and I can tell you this one is a winner. He explains very technical details that nobody else explains and they are life changers for making scones. Doing this recipe for the first time the scones came out 90% perfect. The only thing that I should have done differently was to not respect the exact milk quantity he said. Because my flour was too soft so my dough became way too soft ( sticky) so I had to add a lot of flour on top of what was in the recipe just to be able to manevrate it. Advice: add the milk amount he said to add, but in small batches, at a time and stop when the dough looks like his dough. Even though you didn't add the total amount he said. But everything else was perfect, the scones do rise and they are soft and not chewy. He is the best to teach this honestly.
I've always loved watching Paul Hollywood's cooking apps. They remind me alot of how my husband cooked before he passed away last year. He made homemade biscuits of all kinds from drop to cut out. He made all kinds of gravy's I never heard of, even though I was from the country. He made tomato, which I really loved 💕, chicken, beef, mackerel and that good old sausage he made from milk instead of water! It's good when you can find you a man that can cook to be in the kitchen with you! Sure miss him to! May God continue to bless 🙏 you Paul as days go by to be able to continue sharing your recipes with the world 🌎!!!

The explanation about baking powder was good. I was taught many years ago at school how to cook just about everything. The lessons were called Domestic Science, it surely is a science. Great looking scones. Mmm. Thank you.
Made these scones earlier today added a bit more butter as it seems a lot of flour for only 10% butter .. left out the sugar as we’re reducing our sugar intake. Turned out perfect. Made 11 scones. Absolutely delicious..!! Will definitely make more. 10/10
That last bite loaded with that clotted cream was hilarious! Shaking hands with yourself for a job well done had me cracking up! Those scones look delicious!
I made these scones yesterday 13/02/23, I don’t have much success with making scones. I was a bit sceptical about this recipe, however followed and was very pleased with the result, so light and tasty. Thank you Paul Hollywood 😊😊
My fourteen year old said "Mum, please can you just turn that off, because he sounds like the man from The Great British Bakeoff, and that makes me want to watch it!" but it's betime 😂 I told him it is him, and my sixteen year old chipped in with "Paul Hollywood?" 😂 We're not addicts or anything 😂 We all miss England ❤
I thought this was going to turn out badly because I am terrible at biscuits but they turned out amazing and I made whole made clotted cream with homemade raspberry jam. It was heaven.
Yay! Now I’m gonna try this recipe, I am a bit of a skeptic to try this because most of the recipe calls for a lot of butter. I also made clotted cream and strawberry jam. I loved it with blueberry jam too! Btw have you tried adding lemon curd? If you haven’t yet. It’s a must! Heavenly is an understatement 😅
I just got back from London a few days ago with a serious addiction to scones w/ clotted cream and strawberry jam. So I ordered clotted cream and just made this recipe today... so so easy and so so good. Thank you Paul!!
I was gobsmacked how well these turned out. They do taste amazing. I used it as a basic scone dough and added dates and allspice. Ate with crème fraiche because that’s all the cream l had and some macerated fresh raspberries with grated lime peel. I couldn’t speak and did a happy dance. Thank you very much for the recipe Paul and the tips were much appreciated. It was nice to be successful with scones for a change.
Love all of Hollywood's recipes! So wonderfully kind of him to share his extensive expertise, and it's so great knowing you can trust his easy to follow recipes to produce such beautiful results.
For the first time my scones was perfect.Thanks Paul for this,most of the other bakers the recipe dont work(i tried 4 times different recipes and end up w rocky solid non risen scones).I am so happy to bake this scones and eat like mad.
Simple to make and the best scones I have ever eaten. Been making these scones ever since I bought your recipe book "The Weekend Baker" Thank you for your wonderful recipe.
Smješim se dok Vas gledam sa koliko radosti i strasti kuhate i jedete.Ma milina Vas gledati.Svaki put poželim da sam tu pa da i ja uživam.Bog Vas blagoslovio.
Excellent video! I don’t use a cutter at all, I follow my mother‘s technique of just making straight cuts, Egg washing the tops, and popping them right in the oven. The square edges are slightly crispier, which is absolutely delicious! Yum, Yum, Yum
I am a Dutch citizen living in England for many years. I have been told I make a ‘mean scone’ lol, but I will certainly try this recipe. Where I live we says scone as in drone.
Thanks a lot for the recipe, Paul. Have never used eggs when making scones, can't wait to try this version. Really appreciate your sharing all the details. I myself do that way whenever am asked for a recipe. Love so much when people thank afterwards saying they did something for the first time and it came out just perfect.
Thanks Paul…you make it all look so easy and delicious! I love how you explain as you go with no fuss . A true talent and wonderful baker. Just the way that you handle the dough makes it all so good.❤
I've made scones only once in my life - in Home Ec class 45 years ago - and beginner's luck had them turn out pretty great. It's time to try again with your expert help. Thanks.
I was a little lost at first as we call these biscuits in the US. Scones are the bigger sugary ones for us. But this tutorial really made it so much more pleasant. 😊 Slather it in butter and jam and BAM! Heaven.
swap butter for ricotta cheese if you dont have clotted cream or buffalo cream ;) trust me here in uk some eat it with butter but most eat it with jam and cream!
Amalie - I am your new subscriber # 80 ... I just watched and loved your Yorkshire Pudding Recipe ... I wanted to comment but you don't allow that, so I'm back her to tell you I support you and your baking ... remember me when you are famous please :)

I have never made scones and I'm several times your age ... so you are not just inspiring young people, you are inspiring all ages. Thank you to you for showing us it's not so hard and baking is fun! And thank you to your family who support you in your baking ... you are destined for great things ... as long as you enjoy doing what you do, keep going! I am proud to be # 80 !
Amalie, you are amazing!! You are wonderful with the camera, and you have such great energy. I can't wait to see what you'll do next! I've just started a RUclips channel where I talk about tea. I'll also be doing baking videos, but I've been nervous about it. I think you've inspired me to not be afraid!! So, thank you!!
My grandparents were from the UK and grandma would make scones just like this. I wish professionals like you also offered videos for those with coeliac and gluten intolerance especially when baking without the 'crutch gums'. Your incite on how exactly the ingredients interact and what you are looking for is what is needed more. Have you ever considered doing a series on this sort of thing. Those scones look so delicious.
I’ve made tons of scones using King Arthur Baking recipes but now that I’ve seen yours, I’m not sure they are the same thing at all. I’ll definitely make these so I know what a proper English scone is. I really like to top mine with strawberry curd! So yummy.
@@finnomara4148 Strawberry Curd is a pudding-like puree consisting of fresh strawberries, lemon juice, egg yolks, and a few other ingredients. It's flavorful, light, refreshing, and perfect to add as a filling for cakes.
Easiest thing to make aside from boiling an egg and so quick. If I have friends or family turn up unexpectedly we chat in the kitchen whilst I whip up some scones. By the time we sit down for a cuppa out they come all plump and ready to eat. They are my go to comfort food and remind me of days in the kitchen with my mum back in England. 🇦🇺❤
I just baked these minus the egg wash at the end. Using granulated Sugar is fine. Served with clotted cream, jam, Raspberries & Strawberries.The whole family loved them. Has a bite before you enjoy a light airy Scone. Thanks Paul :)
I feel you when you're eating that scone with the cream and jam. OH MY GOSH! So delicious! I'm known as the Scone Queen in my family so I appreciate this video!
Mam used to cut them with 1/2 pint glass for me Dad to take for his crib with butter. She used a small glass for us kids as it made more to go round. Usually on Wednesday or Thursday when there was not much in the cupboard. She used to make them with salt instead of sugar to top off a stew but baked like scones. Mmmm never went hungry in our house. Thanks for the memory ❤️
These are so deliscious ! Must make them again today.....I thank you for the fine presentation and the cleverly placed recepie on the screen, while you are annoncing what to do !❤😊😊
@@patruddick1946 I don’t think you are really doing something wrong. I’m one of those bakers that if it’s less than a few ingredients I mess it up, but give me a page and half of ingredients for a Mexican chocolate cake, no problems. My first batch of scones you could have broken windows with them; second batch the birds wouldn’t even eat them. 😆 But I keep trying as I love scones and US scones are just not the same as UK ones. I find that if you don’t work the dough too much, and don’t twist the cutter, just straight down and up, and a really hot oven, I’ve been getting better results. So going to try Paul Hollywood’s recipe since I’ve never made with bread flour and want to see the difference.
I just tried your recipe and it came out great. Very good tip about not pouring all the milk in at once. I didn’t need that much but definitely needed a little more flour. I also used a box grater for the butter, it shaves the butter into small bits and a great time saver. Thank you again!
🇿🇦🇺🇸I have just watched your tutorial on scones. One of my favorite “ anytime treats” . Thank you for all the little bits of info. For a novice baker like myself it is worth “its weight in GOLD” 🙏🌸 Much appreciated 🌸🙏
I made these exactly how you did it, plus I sprinkled a little bit of powdered sugar on top, and of course clotted cream and jam! And these were fantastic! Definitely saving this, thank you!
Loved the wiggling brows at the end. Great sense of humor, Paul. AND NOW I know what clotted cream looks like! Heard of it for decades, but NO ONE has ever described its consistency…….
I left UK some years ago and I missed scones so much. Last week I found some clotted cream at a local supermarket and I had to try your recipe. They were the best scones I ever had! Thank you, Paul!
Scone’s have a special place in my heart. After I gave birth to my son (18 years ago)- I sat on my butt for two months watching lord of the rings movies and eating chocolate chip scones! I craved them- and I gained more weight being pregnant! Good times ❤️❤️❤️
Recently made scones for the first time. I definitely used my hands for the entire process, and I think it made a huge difference. I could really feel the right consistency. They turned out perfect. Ps absolutely looking forward to more videos from you, Paul. I can’t wait to start learning more and picking up your tips and tricks. Im hoping to become a confident bread baker. I’m a huge fan 🙂
@@kyhi6900 scones are pretty much a sweetened (US) biscuit. You can add blueberries or raisins or other small fruits. There are also what they call “savory” scones, with cheese, herbs, and even bacon in them. You can search “savory scones” and find YT videos on how to make them.
Just made these scones for the first time in my life. Beaitifully risen. I have only tasted supermarket ones so far so if I compare to ASDA ones that I have at home right now.....these are less sweet and buttery. Haven't checked other videos before baking and straight into making them from this video. Well this was the beginning of my scone baking journey I suppose. I watched one video of Jamie Oliver right after I tasted this scone wondering how much butter has been used. He used same 500g of flour and 150g of butter. I need to try a few more recipes until I find the one that suits my palate. Thanks for the recipe
Always a pleasure watching you bake Paul! Growing up watching you, I learned so much. Haven't made these in years but I loved making them when I did. Simple but such a beautiful sweet treat. Sidenote: now 11:40 in the evening and I'm craving them.
Here in the American south, we use white lily self rising flour and buttermilk for making our biscuits. I add sugar for scones. Maybe a cheat but the recipes are so similar and the dough very soft. And a floured jelly jar cup for cutting them out.
@@tgfitzgeraldA bit of a late comment but I was just reading about the monks at Tavistock abbey in Devon in the 11th century giving cream teas to the labourers as a thankyou,sometimes putting golden syrup on the ‘sconbrot’/scones -old English for fine/beautiful bread.It’s funny because Devon is the only place in England I’ve seen them making savoury biscuits and also saying Mom instead of Mum!
winner winner chicken dinner! A solid thumb's up on using bread flour- I think that is the key. I did sub in buttermilk to use it up- but these were the best I've ever made. Son has dubbed scones as 'biscuits that have studied abroad'. Next time planning ahead to have strawberry jam at the ready.
I didn't know what scones were before. Now I see that they are American baking powder biscuits plus eggs, with egg wash on top. I am definitely going to try this!

For the first time my scones was perfect.Thanks Paul for this,most of the other bakers the recipe dont work(i tried 4 times different recipes and end up w rocky solid non risen scones).I am so happy to bake this scones and eat like mad.
Simple to make and the best scones I have ever eaten. Been making these scones ever since I bought your recipe book "The Weekend Baker" Thank you for your wonderful recipe.
Wow! Simple, yet these scones look absolutely perfect.
Agree with all those who couldn’t concentrate on the recipe because he’s so good-looking!!!
Smješim se dok Vas gledam sa koliko radosti i strasti kuhate i jedete.Ma milina Vas gledati.Svaki put poželim da sam tu pa da i ja uživam.Bog Vas blagoslovio.
I am always so skeptical when it comes to making scones but Paul, you make it look so easy… I am definitely going to try it out!! Thank you!!
Try geoff cooper recipes amazing
I have made countless different scone recipes and none have baked and risen so beautifully 💕 Thank You Mr. Hollywood.
Finally get to see Paul do his bakes!
Excellent video! I don’t use a cutter at all, I follow my mother‘s technique of just making straight cuts, Egg washing the tops, and popping them right in the oven.
The square edges are slightly crispier, which is absolutely delicious! Yum, Yum, Yum
I am a Dutch citizen living in England for many years. I have been told I make a ‘mean scone’ lol, but I will certainly try this recipe. Where I live we says scone as in drone.
Thank you Paul. I just baked some scones using your recipe. It taste so great.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the recipe, Paul. Have never used eggs when making scones, can't wait to try this version. Really appreciate your sharing all the details. I myself do that way whenever am asked for a recipe. Love so much when people thank afterwards saying they did something for the first time and it came out just perfect.
Thanks Paul…you make it all look so easy and delicious! I love how you explain as you go with no fuss . A true talent and wonderful baker. Just the way that you handle the dough makes it all so good.❤
Thank you for your lovely compliment. I hope my recipe was able to help you in your cooking
I've made scones only once in my life - in Home Ec class 45 years ago - and beginner's luck had them turn out pretty great. It's time to try again with your expert help. Thanks.
I was a little lost at first as we call these biscuits in the US. Scones are the bigger sugary ones for us. But this tutorial really made it so much more pleasant. 😊
Slather it in butter and jam and BAM! Heaven.
swap butter for ricotta cheese if you dont have clotted cream or buffalo cream ;) trust me here in uk some eat it with butter but most eat it with jam and cream!
Yeah but that’s so hillbilly to call a scone and biscuit.
Just made a batch of these for my 87yo grandma and they went down a storm. Thanks a lot Paul 😁
Hello Paul - 'this is where the kids can get involved'? I made mine myself and I'm 10 - and a video - can I get a hand shake?
I'm not Paul but you sure do deserve 🤝👊👍👏 ! Congrats and keep baking Amalie 👩🍳💖
Amalie - I am your new subscriber # 80 ... I just watched and loved your Yorkshire Pudding Recipe ... I wanted to comment but you don't allow that, so I'm back her to tell you I support you and your baking ... remember me when you are famous please :)
@@Sueprises thank you Sue - that’s very nice I’ve never had a comment like that!
@@amaliebakes1087 You're very welcome, I will be watching more of your videos until I've watched them all. Of course I want to see your scones video ... I have never made scones and I'm several times your age ... so you are not just inspiring young people, you are inspiring all ages. Thank you to you for showing us it's not so hard and baking is fun! And thank you to your family who support you in your baking ... you are destined for great things ... as long as you enjoy doing what you do, keep going! I am proud to be # 80 !
Amalie, you are amazing!! You are wonderful with the camera, and you have such great energy. I can't wait to see what you'll do next! I've just started a RUclips channel where I talk about tea. I'll also be doing baking videos, but I've been nervous about it. I think you've inspired me to not be afraid!! So, thank you!!
My grandparents were from the UK and grandma would make scones just like this. I wish professionals like you also offered videos for those with coeliac and gluten intolerance especially when baking without the 'crutch gums'. Your incite on how exactly the ingredients interact and what you are looking for is what is needed more. Have you ever considered doing a series on this sort of thing. Those scones look so delicious.
Everything he makes!!! Love this man, and his scones :)
Thanks again Paul for giving us much appreciated simple and easy to follow instructions!
I’ve made tons of scones using King Arthur Baking recipes but now that I’ve seen yours, I’m not sure they are the same thing at all. I’ll definitely make these so I know what a proper English scone is. I really like to top mine with strawberry curd! So yummy.
What's strawberry curd? Is that jam?
@@finnomara4148 Strawberry Curd is a pudding-like puree consisting of fresh strawberries, lemon juice, egg yolks, and a few other ingredients. It's flavorful, light, refreshing, and perfect to add as a filling for cakes.
@@jenniferflorendo9665 sounds yummy , perfect for scones. I'm in isolation but have some frozen strawberries in freezer...off to Google recipes 😁👍
My mother ❤baked scones deliciously by his recipe I have to try and bake these I love them with good butter. yummmm
i have baked quite a lot over the years but never made scones. I am now going to try it, my mouth is watering. Thanks paul x
Easiest thing to make aside from boiling an egg and so quick. If I have friends or family turn up unexpectedly we chat in the kitchen whilst I whip up some scones. By the time we sit down for a cuppa out they come all plump and ready to eat. They are my go to comfort food and remind me of days in the kitchen with my mum back in England.
🇦🇺❤
Always a joy watching a master craftsman at work 👍👍👍
All the way from Auckland, I’m going to try making these today. I keenly watch the British baking shows on our tvchannels-so enjoy them.
The best teacher to make bread any bread, love the way those hands are moving ❤
This is absolutely lovely I always want to learn how to make fresh homemade scones they look so delightful
Parfect texture!Love the uneven rise too, this is what a scone should look like.
Paul’s face as he takes that first bite is priceless. Pure joy! Love it!!
I just baked these minus the egg wash at the end. Using granulated Sugar is fine.
Served with clotted cream, jam, Raspberries & Strawberries.The whole family loved them. Has a bite before you enjoy a light airy Scone. Thanks Paul :)
Me encanta todas sus recetas, reportajes, y programas, son transparentes y muy claras. Gracias.los scones me quedaron deli ...
Just done this recipe and I want to thank you kind Sir...
I feel you when you're eating that scone with the cream and jam. OH MY GOSH! So delicious! I'm known as the Scone Queen in my family so I appreciate this video!
I love a plain scone with clotted cream and jam. Nothing better. Glad I found your channel.
Looks delicious! My favorite Baking Shows are the ones where Mary and Paul explain everything. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Mam used to cut them with 1/2 pint glass for me Dad to take for his crib with butter. She used a small glass for us kids as it made more to go round. Usually on Wednesday or Thursday when there was not much in the cupboard.
She used to make them with salt instead of sugar to top off a stew but baked like scones. Mmmm never went hungry in our house. Thanks for the memory ❤️
Thank you so much! I was able to make scones successfully for the first time with your help!
These are so deliscious ! Must make them again today.....I thank you for the fine presentation and the cleverly placed recepie on the screen, while you are annoncing what to do !❤😊😊
Hi 👋
I've been using his recipe for ages with great success. I love that he was piling on the extra cream haha!
really I must be doing something wrong .
@@patruddick1946 I don’t think you are really doing something wrong. I’m one of those bakers that if it’s less than a few ingredients I mess it up, but give me a page and half of ingredients for a Mexican chocolate cake, no problems. My first batch of scones you could have broken windows with them; second batch the birds wouldn’t even eat them. 😆 But I keep trying as I love scones and US scones are just not the same as UK ones. I find that if you don’t work the dough too much, and don’t twist the cutter, just straight down and up, and a really hot oven, I’ve been getting better results. So going to try Paul Hollywood’s recipe since I’ve never made with bread flour and want to see the difference.
I just tried your recipe and it came out great. Very good tip about not pouring all the milk in at once. I didn’t need that much but definitely needed a little more flour. I also used a box grater for the butter, it shaves the butter into small bits and a great time saver. Thank you again!
🇿🇦🇺🇸I have just watched your tutorial on scones. One of my favorite “ anytime treats” . Thank you for all the little bits of info. For a novice baker like myself it is worth “its weight in GOLD” 🙏🌸 Much appreciated 🌸🙏
I made these exactly how you did it, plus I sprinkled a little bit of powdered sugar on top, and of course clotted cream and jam! And these were fantastic! Definitely saving this, thank you!
Loved the wiggling brows at the end. Great sense of humor, Paul.
AND NOW I know what clotted cream looks like! Heard of it for decades, but NO ONE has ever described its consistency…….
A bit like soft margarine
I love this recipe, 😊 I have used it three times now and produced perfect scones.
So glad Paul made this video! 👏 Love making scones...looks easy-peasy from scratch 💛👍
Amazing scones 😋 like how gentle you are.
I'm amazed every time how clean paul remains, when I bake, I'm full of flour afterwards
Me too! My husband always says I look like
I’ve been In a brawl with the flour bag! 😎
I left UK some years ago and I
missed scones so much. Last week I found some clotted cream at a local supermarket and I had to try your recipe. They were the best scones I ever had! Thank you, Paul!
2am and I now have the urge to make scones
I have never baked such stunning scones thanks for your recipe all the way from Cape town South africa
yay! Cape town !😍
Scone’s have a special place in my heart. After I gave birth to my son (18 years ago)- I sat on my butt for two months watching lord of the rings movies and eating chocolate chip scones! I craved them- and I gained more weight being pregnant! Good times ❤️❤️❤️
Thanx i have baked it and got so many compliments, its light and delicious
Recently made scones for the first time. I definitely used my hands for the entire process, and I think it made a huge difference. I could really feel the right consistency. They turned out perfect.
Ps absolutely looking forward to more videos from you, Paul. I can’t wait to start learning more and picking up your tips and tricks.
Im hoping to become a confident bread baker.
I’m a huge fan 🙂
Did these taste just like a dinner roll or biscuit, basically baked bread? I thought scones were different?
@@kyhi6900 scones are pretty much a sweetened (US) biscuit. You can add blueberries or raisins or other small fruits. There are also what they call “savory” scones, with cheese, herbs, and even bacon in them. You can search “savory scones” and find YT videos on how to make them.
Just made these scones for the first time in my life. Beaitifully risen. I have only tasted supermarket ones so far so if I compare to ASDA ones that I have at home right now.....these are less sweet and buttery. Haven't checked other videos before baking and straight into making them from this video. Well this was the beginning of my scone baking journey I suppose. I watched one video of Jamie Oliver right after I tasted this scone wondering how much butter has been used. He used same 500g of flour and 150g of butter. I need to try a few more recipes until I find the one that suits my palate. Thanks for the recipe
Always a pleasure watching you bake Paul! Growing up watching you, I learned so much.
Haven't made these in years but I loved making them when I did. Simple but such a beautiful sweet treat.
Sidenote: now 11:40 in the evening and I'm craving them.
Go and make some then 😁 x
@@amandajones1842 😂😂😂
All I can says is, thank you for having someone asking questions. The "whats", "whys", and "hows" are so helpful, and good to learn.
This was my first time making scones following this recipe and they turned out so great!!
Really interesting points, love how he’s explained how to make the scones
Need more recipes like this
Today we baked this recipe for the first time. It works! Fantastic results :))
Here in the American south, we use white lily self rising flour and buttermilk for making our biscuits. I add sugar for scones. Maybe a cheat but the recipes are so similar and the dough very soft. And a floured jelly jar cup for cutting them out.
My mother made a huge pan of biscuits every night for supper. We devoured every one! I loved mine with butter and dark Karo syrup.
I use buttermilk for scones too, makes them lovely and fluffy.
@@tgfitzgeraldA bit of a late comment but I was just reading about the monks at Tavistock abbey in Devon in the 11th century giving cream teas to the labourers as a thankyou,sometimes putting golden syrup on the ‘sconbrot’/scones -old English for fine/beautiful bread.It’s funny because Devon is the only place in England I’ve seen them making savoury biscuits and also saying Mom instead of Mum!
Love watching Paul Hollywood, he’s so handsome and love his accent.
Such a simple but great recipe .. definitely on my baking list this week 😃
I'm an American and definitely going to try this recipe. I was stationed in England years ago. Sure have missed these.
winner winner chicken dinner! A solid thumb's up on using bread flour- I think that is the key. I did sub in buttermilk to use it up- but these were the best I've ever made. Son has dubbed scones as 'biscuits that have studied abroad'. Next time planning ahead to have strawberry jam at the ready.
Love "Biscuits that have studied abroad." Brilliant.
I didn't know what scones were before. Now I see that they are American baking powder biscuits plus eggs, with egg wash on top. I am definitely going to try this!
The slo mo is certainly having an effect .
Look delicious.
Have you had a taste of it ? ☺️
I love this channel actually can't deal. I don't bake EVER but I am obsessed with watching it anyway
Now that's how its done, I love how he bites into the scone n shows you how to really enjoy it😜
These look like a dream! After one failed attempt with a different recipe, this looks like a winner! Thank you
