Anna, I hope you see this comment and accept sincere thanks. I'm 67, love and been making scones for years. They've always been bricks, no matter what shortening or ingredients I've added. I followed your recipe today, cold butter and employed your double method of mixing it in w fingers then smooshing w palms. And then gentle folding over...let me just share that I did not add sugar because I used extra sharp cheddar as an add-in. These scones, if I may say so, are remarkably fluffy, cheesy and I hope not to eat them all right away. Thank you so much, will try the cranberry lemon version next. A big fan...quik note: should anyone want to do a savory cheese version like I made, I added 1 tsp or dried mustard (Colmans)
These are the lightest, fluffiest scones I have ever made. I used fresh blueberries, but I put them in the freezer first to harden before mixing in the batter. Delicious!
I searched everywhere for a simple and delicious scone recipe, and since I tried this one, it’s the only one I’ll use. I make mine with frozen blueberries and they turn out perfect, every time. Thanks, Anna!💕
I’ve been making scones for a long time. They were never great. I tried this receipe yesterday and I have to say....success, success , success. It’s the way you do the butter and folding it over. Soo delighted I’ve seen this. Thanks so much Anna..xx
Just baked this with frozen blueberries! My husband and I loved it!!! - thank you. ❤️ Used double cream though instead of whipping cream (thicker consistency than whipping cream), plus milk. Also added softened soft cheese to the glaze and it turned out amazing. x
I just made these and used dried cranberries and fresh blueberries. My home smells divine. The scones are very flaky and rose quite high. Still cooling but look forward to having for breakfast in the morning. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
omg, I made this yesterday, my mother in law, and my friend all said it taste just like those 5 star hotel scones. It's moist and everything is just right. Thank you Anna!!
These are the best scones recipe! It’s my go to every time and turns out deliciously! I will sometimes substitute blueberries in place of cranberries .
Thank you for sharing your recipe Ms. Anna Olson! Actually made them a few weeks ago, no lemon zest and used dried cranberries, sooo good! Learning a lot from your techniques. Making them again today.
Broke down and made these yesterday for Mother’s Day. Made a chocolate chip one because I was being pestered by the bf to make chocolate chip cookies all week. For myself I made cranberry blueberry with the lemon rind and a lemon glaze. Had to hydrate the berries first that’s how the chocolate chip one came to pass. As I waited on the berries made that one. These turned out really good. The bf who doesn’t like lemon actually liked them. I thought they both were great. Very glad I tried them. So much easier than individual cookies.
I have made at least 6 times, sometimes with dry cranberries and lemon and sometimes with raisins, as per your recipe, scones, and they always come out super delish. Thank you!
I just made these scones. Outstanding recipe! I didn't have fresh or frozen cranberries but used dried one that I reconstituted with orange juice; I zested the orange rather than use lemon zest because it's what I had. The house smells like a bakery and they are delightful. Thank you!
Anna, I always turn to your channel for the proper method for various baked goods. Thank you for sharing your professional knowledge! I freeze cranberries at holiday time, and use them directly into scones year-round. I prefer orange with cranberry, so I use orange zest in the scones and the glaze. Lastly, I like to grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients, tossing as I go so it doesn't clump up. Hope these tips help others!
OMG utterly delicious!! I can’t stop eating them?! 😆 You are my absolute favorite baker on You tube! All your recipes are easy to follow, to the point, short videos, and fantastically scrumptious desserts! Thank you for helping me to become a great baker/cook! I appreciate you!
These look so much better than what I see for sale in coffee shops and bakeries - which are closer to what we (Brits) call rock cakes ! Don’t confuse English scones with American scones, they are completely different. Both are delicious. Although I usually make the English scones my mother taught me to make , I am going to give these a try. Thank you for your lovely video.
I just made these and as a pretty new "baker" it was super easy. This was the 2nd recipe I tried and this will now be my only scone recipe as it was loved by everyone. I added chocolate chips - these are truly amazing. Thank you!!
Easy and fantastic scones ! They came out fluffy and flaky. We all loved them and enjoyed them with our coffees. Your method of flattening the butter between your palms reminded me of my Hungarian mother baking a recipe from her mother, I’m thinking it was cookie based apple pie, and that was around 50 years ago! I had totally forgotten about it. Thank You Anna. So Yummy
OMGosh!!! This is my First Time making home-made scones and it was the First time my son HAS EVER eaten one. They came out so deliciously light, flaky and melt-in-your-mouth that we will NEVER eat any other recipe. I substituted the orange for the lemon and the bake filled my kitchen with the most awesome aroma that I thought I was on a cooking show, LOL!!! Thank you so much Anna. These will be my go-to gift basket from now on.
I tried the recipe, and I can say that I achieved great success with it. The taste was amazing with a bit of strawberry jam. Thank you! I’m from Algeria. ❤
I watched this video at 12 am and couldn't sleep until I made it, it is super easy and delicious, I used frozen blueberries and it turned out wow 😍😍 thank you very much
A really great recipe! I thawed out blueberries on the first try- it added too much liquid to the dough. Second try I folded the berries in while still frozen. Perfect! Thanks Anna!
Hello from Florida! Anna, I just made these scones. They are so light and absolutely delicious! I did not have cranberries, so I used blueberries. I added the milk in slowly, because the first time when I made it, the dough got too wet (different recipe, not yours, and it came out wrong). I used the reserved milk and brush that onto the scones. Thank you for showing us how to do it right and good!
The technique of sliding the flour/butter mixture between your hands is brilliant and makes for a really great consistency! Reading the other comments I am glad I stumbled onto your vid prior.
For anyone who’s confused about the flour part because in the video she says 2 cups of flour, and in the description it says 3 cups. I’ve tried 3 cups of flour every time and it is good, but this once I tried 2 cups and the dough was not thick and I had to add in another cup.
I wish I had read this because I used just 2 cups and the dough seemed wet, but I proceeded. During baking I smelled smoke and the soft scones had leaked melted butter into the bottom of the oven. Oh my! Despite the 7 degrees outside I opened doors and windows! Brrrr! They were still tasty, but next time I’m definitely using 3 Cups of flour!
I made these today, but used frozen blueberries instead of cranberries, and they were absolutely delicious. I went with the 2 cups of flour from what she did on the video, compared to the 3 cups she has on the printed recipe, and I think the 2 cups are just right. Thanks for the recipe, I never thought i'd make a decent scone in this lifetime.
Just made these from the recipe in Anna's book calling for 3 cups of flour. Wish I'd watched this first. Agreed - too much flour and the mixture was very dry. I added more liquid but next (and there will be a next time!), I'll cut the flour amount and I'm sure they'll be perfect then. I also used a pastry cutter, but again, next time I'll do as she does in the video and flatten and "smoosh" the butter with my fingers/hands. But having said all that, they are delcious!
I used 3 cups of flour; the dough was somewhat difficult to pull together and I had to work at it quite a bit. The scones came out beautifully, though! Will definitely make them again!

Sounds wonderful how much cheese

Mmm! I love cheese and chive scones!
Yum
These are the lightest, fluffiest scones I have ever made. I used fresh blueberries, but I put them in the freezer first to harden before mixing in the batter. Delicious!
Good call. Followed the advice and definitely worked out better
this is the best method and recipe for English scones. Thanks a million.

Did you just replace the cranberries with blueberries and kept everything the same?
Love your videos - straight to the works (no boring small talk!), you are beautiful and so are your delicious bakes.

yellow cornmeal is a great addition too!
I'm jealous of her flour and sugar drawers.
Wonder where she lives milk and cream in glass jars where
Do you buy that these days does anyone know??

Gosh I know what you mean 🤭

I made this scone last night, and it was incredibly soft and delicious. I was wondering if I can make it with gluten-free flour?
I have made at least 6 times, sometimes with dry cranberries and lemon and sometimes with raisins, as per your recipe, scones, and they always come out super delish. Thank you!
I enjoy watching this video about scones I love scones with cherry and raspberry thank you
Thank you for this awesome recipe and technique! It worked for me. Yummy!
It has loads of Flavour. Tasty Scones
Wow. You make it simple to do with just the ingredients that we will have at home. Thank you for that. I may try it. I love scones!

Making the exact scone this morning. Love orange cranberry.
I truly love this channel! So easy to understand and follow.
Made it but three cups of flour is too much. Wish I would have caught it.
This looks AMAZING! I love your common sense attitude towards the bake. So simple to follow! I'm so happy to have discovered your channel!
It’s such a treat to watch you cook 🧑🍳😊
I made this recipe but used lemon juice instead of zest. I have to say they are the best ones I’ve ever made.
Dear Anna, i consider this the best scone recipe. Crispy on the outside and soft inside. So delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Just finished baking these scones with orange zest. They're flaky and delicious. Thanks

I also made them with 3 cups. The dough turned out a little in the wet side, but the final product was perfect.
When I saw it I just referred to other recipes and they all called for 2cups so I never tried the 3 but they’re always good 🤷🏻♀️
I used 2.5 cups
I wish I had read this because I used just 2 cups and the dough seemed wet, but I proceeded. During baking I smelled smoke and the soft scones had leaked melted butter into the bottom of the oven. Oh my! Despite the 7 degrees outside I opened doors and windows! Brrrr!
They were still tasty, but next time I’m definitely using 3 Cups of flour!
Thank you so much for you showed not only cups but also grams in the recepy. I was searching for such a video,mostly ppl don't put grams.
So lovely I do love your way of doing it . Wish they have it in Egypt
Love all your recipes so far.Thank you so much Anna

Thank you😇for sure I will make them. SO YUMMY!!!!! and easy to make

Try just 2 cups flour like the video. They come out more delicate
Why wouldn’t you follow the recipe?
The written recipe on this video says 3 cups of flour. The video calls for two. Confusing...
This is the first time I was successful making scones. They are absolutely delicious!! I love this recipe.
I have madethis recipe yesterday and it is really amazing! THANK YOU!
Moving this!! I want that oven.
My favorite scone recipe! Thank you so much 🙏
