I'm a chef from the UK. I make Scones on a daily basis. All I use is self raising flour, cold butter, caster sugar, baking powder and milk. Same technique as in this video. Cut them though an inch and a half high. Brush with milk and bake!. I always sell out of scone. Always have to make more!
I am British and when I was little in the 70s we used to eat scones warm out of the oven with butter and jam, usually strawberry or a red mixed fruit jam. Nothing posh lol. Washed down with a cup of tea.
I am an Aussie, so inhereted a lot from the Motherland....less fuss with scones works well, keep it simple.....this guy is working the mixture too much, and too much flour all over the shop.....
I had never baked in life until last year when I made these scones. They came out so delicious I couldn’t believe I made them. Have made them about 4 5 times since then and delicious every time. Thank you for such a nice and easy recipe
In Australia it scone rhymes with John. We use buttermilk, wash on top with buttermilk also. Jam and whipped cream. Our butter is very yellow so the come out golden.
I‘ve discovered your channel just a few days ago and I really got to binge-watch your videos. I like your personality very much. So yesterday I went to the grocery store, bought the ingredients for your scones recipe and baked them right away. What can I say? I love them! Stay healthy and safe. Lots of greetings from Germany to the USA. ☺️❤️
I'm Australian and I was taught to make them without eggs or sugar or maybe just a teaspoon, brush the tops with milk (no sugar) and they are put next to each other which helps to make them rise up with the support from the other pieces. The tops should be uneven so that the craggy tops are crisp. Really they are just a carrier for loads of jam and cream :)
You’re the best! Your videos make me so happy.. last night I couldn’t stop crying was so upset.. I watched so many videos an nothing worked.. but I watched some of yours 💓 they always make me laugh an smile.. thank you so much for your awesome personality an baking skills.. my favorite RUclipsr 💓
AliLou Creations awwww thank you so much ♥️♥️ I’m doing better.. my sweetheart daughter died in May an the loss has been hard to handle.. some nights are worse than others.. hugs
Connie, I would love to listen to you. We could talk about anything at all cupcakes, scones husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, work. Whatever. You can cry on the phone. I will listen. I’m just happy Jordan helped you. I love his videos. I’ve made his cakes. They’re amazing. I’m glad you reached out! Kim
My English neighbor made these for me as Christmas gift with a jar of clotted cream and raspberry jam. They were heavenly and now I am hooked on scones. I want to make them myself. Thank you for this video!
I automatically hit the like button as soon as the video starts. I don’t think you own a bad recipe! I found a recipe on RUclips for a lemon blueberry scone and they are so good!
I make my granny's Southern buttermilk biscuits from scratch several times a week. Never measure anything, just eyeball. Never fail deliciousness......
I don't care how messy u work,or that u working on the scale , I just love ur recipess and that u are an awesome happy person. Keep up the good work and thanx a million.
Clotted cream is made by pouring double cream (heavy cream in the US) into a shallow tray and placing it in a low oven for about 12 hours, it is then refrigerated for an equal amount of time. The flavor and texture is different to Creme fraíche. Unfortunately it cannot be made with UHT cream, which is the standard cream in US supermarkets.
I noticed them, too. Herend china is hand-painted. There is a small china shop near me (from Victorian times), and they sell Herend, plus all of the English makes (including antiques). Right now, they have Herend displayed in their window, a very beautiful display.
I truly appreciate the fact that this recipe is so authentic! I see too many videos on RUclips calling the Americanized scone, which is more like a muffin, an authentic English scone. I tend to leave messages describing scones as “slightly sweet biscuits,” just as you did. By the way, your first pronunciation was correct. 🙂
Thought I'd share this info with you as you asked for it to be left in the comments and being a Brit we should know but even here there are a lot of people who do not know but here's the info requested. The name 'scone' is thought to have come from the Scottish name for the Stone of Destiny, where Scottish kings were (supposedly) once crowned. The first appearance of the word 'scone' in print was in a Scottish version of the Aeneid in 1513
2:30 - this was my favourite part of making scones (sc - on - s) in Australia 20 years ago. Thinking I might get back into it. Cut in half, with strawberry jam and a thick dollop of cream added, they were my favourite thing to order with a cappuccino!
What you call cookies in America are what we call biscuits in the UK, scones are like a category of their own in the UK, they’re usually found as you said being eaten with cream and jam, it’s a basic component of a cream tea :)
Another wonderful video! Thanks so much. The pronunciation in the UK is (generally) 'Skown' if you live in the south of England; SKONN if you live in the north; and 'SKOON' if you are in Scotland (far north!) (There is a place in Scotland where the Queen Mother lived for a while called Scone Castle and THAT always sounds like SKOON.) Queen Elizabeth the Second loved scones apparently and she preferred them small and dainty. She would have loved yours, I'm sure. I know you don't like raisins much, but I've made scones with raisins soaked in brandy!
We pronounce scone the second way you had said it at the beginning of the video ...we would also never put sugar on the top of a scone before baking here in the UK xx
American biscuits have no egg or sugar, and are made light by the use of buttermilk. They can be nasty, or stellar. It’s all about the cook’s skill! Both scones and biscuits are great in their own right imo…thanks for this vid, love all your vids.
THANK YOU so much for your wonderful recipes. I made your apple pie recipe and it was to die for!! I am going to make this Scone recipe. I am British but live in the USA have done since I was 3 years old. My mother made the best scones. Unfortunately most Americans can't make them properly. The scones in the restaurants and bakeries or coffee shops are horribly dry triangle shaped nasty clumps. So, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!
As for the origin of the word “Skone”, some say it comes from the Dutch word 'schoonbrot', which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. According to Webster's Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s.
I've tried grating and it ended up being a mess. I usually chop cold butter and just keep it in the fridge until I'm ready, that works for me. I suppose we all have different ways!
I am British although live in Canada. I dont think southern biscuits come close to a scone. Taste different. I like to add black currents or cranberry. Butter and Marmalade is delicious. Love your channel. Thank you!
You are right, biscuits are made with lard and unsweetened with lots of baking soda. Scones are made with butter, sugar and sometimes egg. I don’t use egg and I’m a Brit in USA.
Mr John ... Or Should I Say “ Mr Whisk Whisk Whisk ! I Truly Enjoy Everything ... You Share In Your Preppy Kitchen ... You Always Make It Fun ...To Watch And Learn “ HOW TO “ Seemingly ... Do Anything ~ 👍👍👍😋
I love your scones. And all else you do. Sorry I'm late to the party, but I have been making your scones for years. I'm more rustic and don't use a pastry cutter or sugar at the end. My wife loves me. And these. thank you
I brush my scones with cream-❤️ the mouth feel that gives them! I always put either lemon zest in my scones, blueberry or winter time maple ones with a maple glaze. I ❤️ scones! Must be my Scottish heritage coming out!🤣
Hi John. The British pronunciation on Scone rhymes with John! There are 2 methods of eating them. 1. Cornish: jam first, clotted cream on top. 2. Devon: The other way around. Any top establishment will always use the Cornish method. PS They should always be served warm.
Depends on which part of the country you're from, that is more common in the north but many in southern England pronounce it to rhyme with bone although there are exceptions of course. Then for extra confusion there's Scone Palace in Scotland where it rhymes with moon. Quite a delicious treat wherever you live really.
The British have the best creams and butters, esp the creams. I went to visit a friend in Wales where i had some fresh bread and butter and it was like I'd discovered some new exotic delicacy! Their butter tastes so much better. Not even the Irish butter I buy instead, tastes as well.
YEAH! THANKS THANKS THANKS FOR THIS INCREDIBLE ENGLISH TREAT! It always reminds me of my mom. Thanks for bringing the memory back by just sharing a recipe.
YES! Thank you! I agree on the American scones being blah. I got spoiled with amazing scones when I went to visit my friend and their family in Manila. Let me tell ya, never have high tea at The Shangri-la....because all the scones you try after will not compare! I'm going to make these this weekend, fingers crossed for deliciousness! (Although all the rest of your recipes I've tried have come out amazing so I have high hopes!) Thanks again! 💚💙💜
OMG John I LOVE all of your videos and have tried so many of your recipes! I have made your cinnamon rolls four times! Twice in North Carolina and twice in Wisconsin!
Your videos are so informational and your humor is always welcomed. Thanks for being a bright light at a dreary time (covid19) in America. Keep making and baking!
Traditional English Scones are either plain or have mixed dried fruits added. They’re pronounced ‘scons’ in the north of England, and ‘scouns’ in Scotland. There’s also a difference of opinion between the counties of Devon and Cornwall on how to serve them when part of a ‘cream tea’. Whipped cream first then jam in Devon, and jam first in Cornwall! Either way, they’re delicious. I always make a special one for my hubby out of the leftover dough. I don’t roll this one out, just sort of form it into a rough round. I suspect it’s his favourite because it’s usually bigger than the rest! 😂
I bet you've never had a Southern meal experience because homemade biscuits from Georgia and Northern Florida are light and fluffy and much more delicate than the drier scone. They are Awesome with breakfast or dinner.
Brit here, I put my butter in the freezer, and then *_grate_* it into the flour, using a bit of greaseproof paper or butter wrapper around the end I'm holding. It makes the rubbing-in process far easier - especially for anyone neurodivergent, who doesn't like the sensation of their hands getting mucky!
I will definitely try this. I am in the UK and I have no idea why it is called biscuit. But I did try biscuit from popeyes in canada and loved it. It did not bother me that much when you worked on the scale but when you placed your cooking tray right on top of the floury working space, I literally screamed Noooooo! All I could think about was how messy your oven now will get. Lol. I like how you are so relaxed when baking- true passion😀
Traditional English scones don’t have sugar in the recipe and you NEVER use a rolling pin ; always shape and pat the dough. The jam and clotted cream is sweetness enough 😋
Ok so you wouldn't use a scone for biscuits and gravy-to sweet. Homemade "American" biscuits are delishious. I'm sure you already know, but in the UK biscuits are cookies.
Biscuits are cookies, maize is corn, football is soccer - why? Why can't we agree on what to call things? Why do we needlessly have to make an already complicated world more complicated?
In the UK our biscuits are not like most of your cookies, we also have cookies which are like your chocolate chip cookies. Biscuits in the UK go soft when they are stale and cookies go hard, the same as with cake.
My understanding is that there is a distinction between scones and biscuits, that being sugar and sometimes eggs being in scones. I have never encountered a scone dough as wet as your's and it seems to have less sugar than other recipes I've encountered. What you have made looks delicious, but more like biscuits. (how's that for confusing?) love you videos BTW
Best youtube ever. I HATE BAKING CAKES. but since i started watching you i feel like making tons of cakes. I did make ur rocky road cake. it was a super hit.
I'm from Devon, a county in the South West of England, famous for cream teas that involve scones (rhymes with 'bones'), jam and clotted cream (not butter). But I'm pleased to notice that you've put the jam on top, unlike our neighbours in Cornwall who strangely put the jam on first and then the clotted cream on top. 😅
Made these yesterday and they did in fact taste very nice.. more cakey and sweet than a traditional English scone but still very nice.. Mine turned out more like a rock cake and didn't rise as much as I expected..although I did roll them a little too thin.. I think I would make they again..👍
Great recipe! And I absolutely love all the Hungarian Herend China you use in so many of your opening scenes. Queen Victoria pattern I think? So elegant and right for every special occasion it makes all your food look delicious and happy 😁🤗❤️
Biscuit-making Contraptions! AKA, as a Pastry Blender! You are such fun, but serious at the same time. Great show! You are so special! Your friend in Kansas City, 🌻 Tom 🍀
I have only started watching your tutorials three days ago and will be trying out your cookie ones .Also followed some of comments why they turn into a debate and personal is beyond me .You always make me smile it’s what I need at times like this I’m Maltese and we oldies are home bound 💞💞
I needed this video and the tea sandwich one, too, because I'm having a tea party in a couple of weeks. Glad I found this channel. (I stayed away from it because of the name, Preppy - thought it was one of those prepper channels, and I don't need the angst.) Thanks!
@@Appaddict01 I live in the UK so we call them scones and they are amazing. When I was in Cornwall some years ago my now late husband and I had a Cream Tea which is tea (or coffee), scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. Absolutely delicious. Over here we call cookies biscuits. I'm actually Scottish although I've lived in England for over 20 years. The Scots have many variations of scones including Girdle Scones which are also lovely. There are recipes for them, probably some on YT but try and find someone Scottish who makes them. A girdle is a flat pan with no sides. Can use a frying pan or skillet too. This type of scone is triangular shaped and they're really nice 😋
I'm a chef from the UK. I make Scones on a daily basis. All I use is self raising flour, cold butter, caster sugar, baking powder and milk. Same technique as in this video. Cut them though an inch and a half high. Brush with milk and bake!. I always sell out of scone. Always have to make more!
Hi ive never used eggs in my scones either.
Glad that milk works! I will try with milk instead of cream! Thanks!
@@winnieyyc-fox9612 remember not to overwork them. And use full fat milk.
In Australia we also call them Scones too
I heard this is a northern accent.
I am British and when I was little in the 70s we used to eat scones warm out of the oven with butter and jam, usually strawberry or a red mixed fruit jam. Nothing posh lol. Washed down with a cup of tea.

Do you use egg wash or just milk?
I love his light, playful and smiling instructions ♥
Some of which look beautiful, some of which are sporting a great personality. I literally LOL’d that. Love your videos!
I LOVE using my hands when it is required. It is so pleasing to feel the flour on our skin. Love it!
In Australia it scone rhymes with John. We use buttermilk, wash on top with buttermilk also. Jam and whipped cream. Our butter is very yellow so the come out golden.
Would like your receipt for scones🇺🇲
One butter trick is freeze your butter first then grate it...Helps alot
Great tip!
That’s good to know
I've done this. It's a great tip.
Yes ! I have found that this makes life , and scones, so much better ! : D Great tip for the beginner baker .. ! thanks for posting this : ]
I have also grated my frozen butter. Can grate almond paste too the same way if making almond cookies (delicious!).

Hi John!! I tried this today and these scones were so delicious!! Highly recommend 👍 thank you so much!! Gave me exactly 12 scones ❤️
I'm Australian and I was taught to make them without eggs or sugar or maybe just a teaspoon, brush the tops with milk (no sugar) and they are put next to each other which helps to make them rise up with the support from the other pieces.

So I decided to make some scones today (I’m from Australia) and your recipe is spot on! Delicious and fluffy. Thanks for a great demo 👍

In Australia we also call them a scone (rhyming with “Gone”). I love them with jam and lashings of thick clotted cream! 💕
clotted cream could that be like crème fraîche ?? Older cream that has thinken ?
Clotted cream is made by pouring double cream (heavy cream in the US) into a shallow tray and placing it in a low oven for about 12 hours, it is then refrigerated for an equal amount of time. The flavor and texture is different to Creme fraíche. Unfortunately it cannot be made with UHT cream, which is the standard cream in US supermarkets.
The kettles you have by Herende is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! Congratulations to being able to have them. The history of Herende is a phenomenal story.

We pronounce scone the second way you had said it at the beginning of the video ...we would also never put sugar on the top of a scone before baking here in the UK xx
Also... cold eggs and butter makes the scones not rise to its full potential.
I’m so glad he mentioned it... it really did bother me he was mixing it on the scale. Lol
OMG Yes.... I was NOT having it! lol
Haha. Me too!
Same 😂 I’m very triggered by scale abuse.
me too lol
Me too, it was making me crazy.

Better to grate frozen butter into the dry mixture. That's how I make them.
Can you explain why that is better? I am curious
@@slanguagefreak2388takes less time crumbling it
@@gondolin12 But then it would melt the butter with the body heat. I thought we did not want that

Scone to rhyme with bone in England.
I love scones having spent my university years in U.K .Now and then I.make them for my family .sometimes I add raisns and nuts cut in small pieces
I personally like swapping out cream of tartar and baking powder for lemonade/sprite. Makes them really fluffy and rise and they don't dry out😁
Hey John, your recipes are so great. I enjoy your videos because you are so humorous, it's always a pleasure to watch. 😂
Keep it up!
I would love to open a tea room. On vacation or going out of town I always look for a tea room. Wish there were more of them.

Traditional English scones don’t have sugar in the recipe and you NEVER use a rolling pin ; always shape and pat the dough. The jam and clotted cream is sweetness enough 😋
The plate you showed in the display, is GORGEOUS. The plate by Herende worked beautifully with the scones.
I was just yelling at you to take the bowl off of the scale when you stated that. Made me totally laugh! Love your sense of humor.
Stunning Herend tea collection behind you. I could barely pay attention to the scone tutorial! Congratulations.
Ok so you wouldn't use a scone for biscuits and gravy-to sweet. Homemade "American" biscuits are delishious. I'm sure you already know, but in the UK biscuits are cookies.
mokiepoet I agree homemade biscuits are delicious!
Biscuits are cookies, maize is corn, football is soccer - why? Why can't we agree on what to call things? Why do we needlessly have to make an already complicated world more complicated?
In the UK our biscuits are not like most of your cookies, we also have cookies which are like your chocolate chip cookies. Biscuits in the UK go soft when they are stale and cookies go hard, the same as with cake.
I love your recipes, they drive me crazy. Thanks for sharing the recipe my scones are now better all thanks to you looooots of loveeeee🥰
My understanding is that there is a distinction between scones and biscuits, that being sugar and sometimes eggs being in scones. I have never encountered a scone dough as wet as your's and it seems to have less sugar than other recipes I've encountered. What you have made looks delicious, but more like biscuits. (how's that for confusing?) love you videos BTW
I just made this today and the dough was sooooo wet I thought it was wrong. But it actually turned out OK. Super super delicious.
Best youtube ever. I HATE BAKING CAKES. but since i started watching you i feel like making tons of cakes. I did make ur rocky road cake. it was a super hit.
"Some of them are sporting a great personality" lol
I'm from Devon, a county in the South West of England, famous for cream teas that involve scones (rhymes with 'bones'), jam and clotted cream (not butter). But I'm pleased to notice that you've put the jam on top, unlike our neighbours in Cornwall who strangely put the jam on first and then the clotted cream on top. 😅
I burst out laughing at “great personality” 😂😂
😂😂😂
Made these yesterday and they did in fact taste very nice.. more cakey and sweet than a traditional English scone but still very nice..
Mine turned out more like a rock cake and didn't rise as much as I expected..although I did roll them a little too thin..
I think I would make they again..👍
“It feels like chinchilla für.” 😂 you are the loveliest, most delightful person ever 🥰
Great recipe! And I absolutely love all the Hungarian Herend China you use in so many of your opening scenes. Queen Victoria pattern I think? So elegant and right for every special occasion it makes all your food look delicious and happy 😁🤗❤️
6:38 - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for saying it out loud.

One time me and my friend tried to make a blueberry scone it was so bad we had to dump it in the forest🤣
Destroy or bury the evidence? 🤣🤣
I heard the British way to pronounce it is 'skon'
I really love how you demonstrate your baking... very relaxed
Yayyy awesome..
Was waiting for this one!! 😊😊
You should make a creme brulee video, John..
Preppy Kitchen Tiramisu too.. I'm wanting to make in next weekend for an event.. I would be very happy if you would be able to make a video by then 😉😉
I have only started watching your tutorials three days ago and will be trying out your cookie ones .Also followed some of comments why they turn into a debate and personal is beyond me .You always make me smile it’s what I need at times like this I’m Maltese and we oldies are home bound 💞💞
"U no wats bothering half of the audience, me working on the scale" 😂😂aaaannddd i subscribe
I needed this video and the tea sandwich one, too, because I'm having a tea party in a couple of weeks. Glad I found this channel. (I stayed away from it because of the name, Preppy - thought it was one of those prepper channels, and I don't need the angst.) Thanks!
“It’s like Chinchilla fur” WHAT 😂😂
Your humorous and creative personal lexicon keeps bringing me back, happily:)
Try making them with buttermilk. They rise more and are lighter 😋
Pythonaria Than they would be buttermilk biscuits. Which are amazing.
@@Appaddict01 I live in the UK so we call them scones and they are amazing. When I was in Cornwall some years ago my now late husband and I had a Cream Tea which is tea (or coffee), scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. Absolutely delicious. Over here we call cookies biscuits. I'm actually Scottish although I've lived in England for over 20 years. The Scots have many variations of scones including Girdle Scones which are also lovely. There are recipes for them, probably some on YT but try and find someone Scottish who makes them. A girdle is a flat pan with no sides. Can use a frying pan or skillet too. This type of scone is triangular shaped and they're really nice 😋
In South Africa we also call them Scones , so yummy 🤤 , my favourite 💕
