Hi Geoff, they look very good! I will make them soon, I just made strawberry scones today. I was inspired by an episode of "Father Brown" where Mrs. McCarthy had just made a batch of her award winning Strawberry scones and I got hungry for some reason... They were actually very good and were reminiscent of a strawberry short cake so we had them for desert,
Just been to meet my new GREAT NIECE JUST 4 weeks old and I took a box of your salted choc brownie cookies for my nephew and his wife... New parents .... so they were really happy with a homemade sweet treat 😂😂😂love these SCONES.... I may take them these next time I go or one of YOUR many many wonderful RECIPES 👍💕
HI Henrietta. I hope your new great-niece was pleased to meet you. These scones are very good, best eaten the day they are made, or reheated to refresh them if they are left until the next day.
@@geoffsbakingblog yes she was""her name is ELENA ROSE "" I PUT DAY OLD SCONES IN TO THE MICROWAVE FOR LITERALLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS,,, THAT WORKS, AND THEY ARE SLIGHTLY WARM. WHICH I LIKE... 👍🍪💕👌..
Good morning x Happy Sunday and it's my weekend off. Just the job those scones. Cheese 🧀 ones to, with a bit of mustard to boost x well done Geoff x Now that's How you make a lovely scone.
Hi Geoff, I made the Cherry Scones this morning. A great way to use up some glacé cherries. These are wonderful! I love the almond flavour from the extract. It always enhances the cherry flavour. Delicious with butter! I’ll have to try your Hot Crossed Bun Scones. They sound mouthwatering! Cheers, Judith 😋😊
Hello, Geoff Cooper. I'll bake those scones someday for sure and the fact that you made it with sugary cherries (I think) helps me a lot because fresh cherries are very rare in here. Thank you for another great recipe!
Hi Olga. I hope you enjoy the scones when you do make some. The cherries are sugary, known as glace cherries or candied cherries. They taste very good.
HI Vince, That is a bit of an interloper. In fact he used to live on the fridge of my sister in Canada and somehow snuck into my luggage one year when I was visiting. He is desperate to get home but travel restrictions make it impossible. At least that is what I tell him.
Wonderful recipe uncle Geoff ...very therapeutic...Perceval a old gentleman friend of mine is convinced .. You are from Shropshire...he enjoys working out accents ...now he thinks your from Devon . Any clues without revealing so we can work it out .
Hi Hugh & Sir Barney. Thanks very much. Percival is not correct with either Shropshire which would be more Midlands/Northern, or Devon which would have more of a burr to the accent. The county in which I was raised no longer exists, at least in so far as postal addresses go, but there is still a cricket team.
@@geoffsbakingblog Percival has been thrown off course Geoff but I am confident he will navigate those strong waves . A county that doesn't exist ....what a wonderful conundrum . I have to get busy doing some of uncle Geoff's recipes to accompany percivals pots of teas . I watch the dirty rascals cakes last night . I don't like anything with currants ,sultanas ,etc ..but I would love your take on some biscuits with dessicated coconut in them .hmmm
@@sirbarneythethirdbobbyandme Hi Hugh & Sir Barney. If you check my Anzac Biscuits recipe that includes oats desiccated coconut. Coconut Macaroons is another.
Hello Geoff, Hope you're doing well! I love scones and cherry so definitely am going to make that soon. I do have a couple of questions though. 1. I am not fond of the egg wash, I normally replace it with milk, shall I do the same with this recipe? 2. I already have frozen cherries, does it work with them too? Do I have to add some more sugar? Cheers and happy baking Eli
Hi Elissar. Yes you can use milk instead of egg wash, it will be fine. The cherries I used are glace cherries(candied cherries) which means they are sticky and the flesh is slightly chewy,. They are also sweet since they have been candied. Using fresh or frozen cherries might work, though I think they would release liquid during cooking so the end result wont be quite the same. You could add a little more sugar but I don't think that would be necessary.
@@geoffsbakingblog Thank you for your prompt reply Geoff, I will get some glacé cherries then, I don't want to jeopardise the scones. Thank you again, Geoff! Eli

HI Julie-joy. That Mrs McCarthy is fearless in pursuit of murderers and in making the perfect scone too.
@@geoffsbakingblog She sure is...
In Ireland we use buttermilk in our scones
Wonderful. Terrific. Delightful. Lovely. Delicious. Thanks for the video.
Modesty forbids me to agree with you, but....... You are welcome.

Hi Judith. I am glad you enjoyed these. Reading your message has prompted me to make them again.
These won’t last long. I’ll probably have to make more tomorrow. My husband sure likes them!
Sorry about the repeats. It’s my horrible service!
@judith4985 , No problem, I deleted the extra ones.
Great recipe. I'm going to try this with sour cherries...
HI Julia. I hope you enjoy them. I love sour cherries.
Thankyou one of my favourites

Hi Geoff, could you tell me if there is a small Geoff on the extractor fan?
It's a joke, I like your recipe, she looks delicious.

I hope he can believe it !
Hello again Geoff. Love cherry scones with a little almond essence, I sometimes add dessicated coconut to them too, nice combination. X K
H iKathryn. I like coconut, so maybe I will try that too.
