    Also, once you've cut out the scones from the dough mix, we would bring the remaining mix together and roll out to make more on repeat until all the dough is used up - I'd be disappointed if I didn't make 12-15 scones per batch.

      They would have to make the clotted cream it isn't sold in the usa even in the fufu shops. They can't even get single cream. The nearest to single cream is half and half (which is half cream half milk) I can tell you from experience it is not it. I'm lucky when I go over there I know people with milk cows, that will let me come milk a cow out and do what I want with the raw milk. It makes my English heart cry with how food is treated in the usa.

    Ingredients
    4 cups heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized)
    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 175 to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
    Pour cream into a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan is ideal). Cream should be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12 hours. Do not stir. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
    Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
    Push aside a corner of the top layer of thickened cream; carefully pour liquid into a container for baking.
    Pack thickened (clotted) cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

    Hey JT and Anna, so glad you enjoyed them but you can so take the whole experience to the next level. Cook the fruit ones for a few minutes more so they are golden. Let them cool a little and then slice them in half. Then butter them using a KNIFE - more butter than you added. Then add jam - LOTs more than you added - don't be scared. Finally, if you can get hold of clotted cream add that on top and absolutely eat with a cup of tea. Then you are pretty much looking at perfection. With the cheese scones try adding a little mustard to the dough and sprinkle them with a little paprika once you cut them in half and finally spread them with more butter than you did and use a knife. I think you will really appreciate the difference. Finally, up your cutting game JT - you had WAY too much dough left over. Cut right to the edges and when done make a new ball with the rest, roll out and recut.

    After you’ve made them, let them go cold. Then slice them in half horizontally (place it on its side and slice in half). Then, traditionally you’d add clotted cream (made in Cornwall I believe), and strawberry jam. You could use any jam these days, you can also use Mascapone or double cream instead of clotted cream if you can’t get any. Maybe try looking at the foreign foods section of your supermarket. We can get some American things over here in our supermarkets in the foreign foods section. Clotted cream has a layer of (I think it’s fat, or something) on the top, I always scrape that layer off and there’s this delicious creamy well, cream underneath. It’s so good.
    Also: if you halve them and put cream and jam on both sides, it’s like eating two in one 😋

  • @markjones127
    @markjones127 2 месяца назад +3

    Well for once you two can tell most of the people who are replying that they're wrong, traditionally you are never meant to cut a scone in half, a scone should always be prised into two halves with a fork, you push the fork in half way and twist and a well baked scone will magically break into two perfect halves. You did so much better this time, well done! Now all you have to do is tweak a few things to perfect them, your scones didn't rise, they stayed flat, and leave them in the oven until the top is a little golden, you may need to use butter to serve them but we'd use clotted cream instead, I'd never use butter and clotted cream, and you can't replace clotted cream with heavy cream as they're not the same thing, so for you guys I'd just stick to butter and jam, inside the scones after you've split them in two. To get them to rise you simply need to work on your technique, when making the dough you need to be fast and direct and have your hands in contact with the dough as little as possible, a lot of good bakers don't even bother incorporating all the ingredients properly, so you'll still see lumps of butter in the dough, and some chill the dough after handling it and before baking, basically the cooler you can keep the dough the more it will rise in the over, they should rise like to around double their height or so, but this is a HUGE improvement on the last effort, just a few minor tweaks and you'll get there!

In Series 1 episode 6 entitled "Scones", the character Tam has won a caption writing competition, using the catchword "S'gone" on a poster showing a plate with leftover crumbs of scones, which implies that a particular brand of delicious scones was quickly devoured.

    Hey, love that you’re trying British foods. This was a pretty good attempt at making scones, although like most people, I was slightly horrified that you put the butter and jam on top of the fruit scones, rather than inside. With any scone, you slice them in half first, then add the filling. Also, you don’t have to eat them as soon as they come out of the oven. Scones are usually eaten when they’ve cooled down. Finally, it’s important to have a hot cup of tea when you eat a scone, simply because they are on the dry side. If you’d like to have a go at another British treat, might I suggest Bread Pudding? It’s made with bread (obviously), but also includes sultanas and mixed spice. Very easy to make and very, very tasty. It’s actually very special to me, because my mom used to make it and when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I shot a video of her making one so that I would always know how to. She passed away earlier this year, and I’m so glad I did. It’s here on RUclips, along with various other versions of bread pudding made by other people, but hers was and is the very best. I have a cousin in West Virginia and his wife wanted the recipe, but unfortunately, mixed spice isn’t easily available in the U.S. apparently, so she makes it with cinnamon instead. Not quite the same taste, but, if that’s all you can get.

    Much more butter…INSIDE with the jam..and eat each half separately! Some folk cut and some pull apart! In Cornwall after butter, then jam they add a pile of real, fresh, clotted cream! Again split the cheese ones and butter each half using a knife! Some dried herbs are nice too in the mixture!

    Fresh and warm from the oven is best but a good scone doesn't need to be eaten warm, they will last for a few days in an airtight container.
    Split or cut into top and bottom halves and spread the cut sides of each half with softened/room temperature butter, before adding the jam, or try with thick clotted cream and jam(no need for butter).
    Warm cheese scones, thickly buttered so the butter melts into them, with some ham/bacon and/or some sort of fruit chutney/pickle on them. Or swap out the biscuits in a US style biscuits and gravy, with fresh cheese scones instead.

    I never put eggs, but I use buttermilk or sour milk or cream and baking soda. Raisins are large seeded dried grapes, sultanas are seedless grapes, and currants are very small dried grapes. I prefer to use dried mixed fruit, which has a mix of all three plus dried candied citrus peel. You can also make them plain. The cheese scones go well with stewed meat.

  • @livestocknetwork320
    @livestocknetwork320 2 месяца назад

    Cheese scones contain strong dried cheese such as parmesan, and topped with grated cheddar on top to distinguish them from the plain. It's probably not a good idea to use all-butter because butter dries the product out. Scone dough should be mildly sticky, and the raw scones need to be rested for 20 minutes. Sultanas are also known as golden raisins. A 1 inch thickness is ideal...

    My favourite is cheese scones. Homemade scones are always great. As everyone says, for the fruit scones, slice them in half (preferably when they are still warm from the oven) & put lots of clotted cream & jam in the middle, very generously. With cheese scones, I tend to either eat them as they are, or cut them in half, add a slice of cheese, microwave to melt the cheese, and have them like that.

  • @nickgrazier3373
    @nickgrazier3373 2 месяца назад

    You do know that when you eat it slice the scone in half then you can put real butter on if you want to but thick cream and jam are the traditional things to put on. There’s a bit of an argument between Cornwall and Somerset as to do you put cream on first then the jam on top of the cream or put jam on first slop a dollop of cream on top. You choose.
    Brilliant job kids well done with the scones look delicious. I’m sure your Moms will love the scones and delicate finger sandwiches for high tea (around 3 - 4 pm). They’ll love it.
    Finger sandwiches are two slices of bread with your choice of filling cut, the crusts off then cut them in half and then cut the halves in half so they are more delicate than a fist full. Make some more cakes or maybe a Pecan pie and slice them delicate as well.
    All this is usually served in a three cake plate tower in the middle of the table or as much as you need to make, then warm the scones up to put the cream and jam on. That’s a “good luck with that “ situation for the moms. This high tea is served at all the big posh hotel restaurants all over the Uk and around the commonwealth around the world.
    Cheers both!

    OMG they looked lush. When I make them we cut them in half and spread them with butter. We either eat them in 2 halves or put them back together. With the fruit ones you again cut them in half and put jam on with some whipped cream instead of butter. Depending on which part of the south (Cornwall or Devon) you either put the jam on first or the cream!! (I find it easier to put the jam on first!)

    A little either English, French or whole grain mustard (or any mustard other than US ones, which have little flavour) in the cheese scones is great. Then once cooked slice them horizontally, butter them and top them with cheese, tomato and chives or spring onions.
    Fruit or plain scones, you can top with jams, whipped/clotted cream, fresh fruit…or even just butter but you always split a scone open horizontally before adding your topping of choice…just as you would a US biscuit to top it with gravy.
