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.
This is such a wonderful memory! ❤

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.
He really has great videos. I just made peanut butter cookies by his recipe and they are great. Awesome with cup of milk.
He is a judge in England in a baking show. Good person.
@@alamazloumian151 yes, that show got a lot of us through pandemic woes
Well done. What a grand fellow for making floofy scones for your Mum.
Congratulations (belated). That is a lovely idea for your mum. 😊❤🙏
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.
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 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
It also distributes the butter more evenly and makes a fluffier scone.
@@michelemaliano7860 Paul’s looked pretty fluffy anyway I’d say!
I don’t, just use any spread I have in the fridge and straight from the fridge.
Yes! I do the same!
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.
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!
Scones, or biscuits?
@@dianeweeks352 Biscuits are some US aberration. In Britain a biscuit is what you call a cookie.
⬆️Hi mate, thanks for watching I have something to share with you hit me up on whatsapp....
@@dianeweeks352 Scones. Delicious with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a nice cup of tea! 🫖 🇬🇧
@@tonybobola8494 The Brits have many strange to us names for some things, but I have never called them an aberration!
The best teacher to make bread any bread, love the way those hands are moving ❤
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. 😊
Excellent.
So for savory use half sugar? Or do some people remove all the sugar ?
@@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
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 :)
If he's been making scones for 30 years you would think he would know how to do it by now...why do they all look like someone sat on one side?
@@jennyc1846because he didn’t sieve in the baking power that’s why 😊
Try ginger scones. Add some ground ginger and some crystalized ginger. A little cinnamon-sugar on the top to add to the magic. Superb!
That sounds so good 😍
MY...GOD...The man is GORGEOUS!
*And he cooks too* ...
There's one sure way to a woman's heart and that's through her stomach!
Paul’s face as he takes that first bite is priceless. Pure joy! Love it!!
He is so handsome. I could watch him make toast. His recipes always work and he is very relatable.
He doesn't need to do a thing. Just sit and smile or not.
It's all good.
But if he made something that's bonus :)
@@Sueprises Yep, Sue and Lorraine, he doesn't need to do a thing.
Just be.
He's Elvis in the kitchen...he can whip up my strudel all day long.
He seems to have dropped alot if weight.
Just love him.
But for him to make toast he wud bake the bread first, & also make the jam for the toast
Finally get to see Paul do his bakes!
Everything he makes!!! Love this man, and his scones :)
I have made countless different scone recipes and none have baked and risen so beautifully 💕 Thank You Mr. Hollywood.
I am in Canada and so enjoy all the British baking shows and all your recipes, thank you , the new cast are great❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️
I made the scones and they turned out wonderfully! Thank you Paul!
I can tell I'm going to love this channel already.
This is what I love about you, You make baking easy ,simple and attainable for anyone who wants to bake. Thank you
This is absolutely lovely I always want to learn how to make fresh homemade scones they look so delightful
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.
Thanks again Paul for giving us much appreciated simple and easy to follow instructions!
Delicious 😋 I’ll be making these thanks for sharing!! 🙏🥰
Such a simple but great recipe .. definitely on my baking list this week 😃
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!
Always a joy watching a master craftsman at work 👍👍👍
Oh my gosh so yummy and yet so simple. Great video!
I loved you ciabatta video from lockdown and again this doesn’t disappoint! You can learn so much from just 1 video not just a recipe, amazing work
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.
turned out amazing! so delicious with jam on top. so easy and fun.
Wow! Simple, yet these scones look absolutely perfect.
So glad Paul made this video! 👏 Love making scones...looks easy-peasy from scratch 💛👍
Really interesting points, love how he’s explained how to make the scones
Need more recipes like this
so talented - just watching you make the dough is so much pleasure! I am making these tomorrow!
This video made my mouth water! I love scones!!
Paul, you made me want a scone right mow!! They look so good!
I made these, and they turned out beautifully. Perfectly light, fluffy and with just enough sweet, thank you Paul!
You got me with the clotted cream! Perfection❣️👏🏻👏🏻
Gorgeous scones! Thanks so much for your recipe ❤
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.
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
The scones I just made literally came out like sponge cake. It was even an eggless recipe. This is why I’m here
Thank you Paul, I simply love scones..
Wow! They really look amazing. A must try.
Just baked a batch. They came out perfectly and so delicious. I also added a few sultanas. Yum!
I’ve loved everything I’ve made from Paul’s recipes.
I made them with strong flour ,but they were very heavy and tasted horrible ,what went wrong .didn't lick my fingers they went in the bin .
They look amazing! I must try this recipe.
Made them and they will be my recipe from now on . Thank you so much for sharing it with us . Greatly appreciated it
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 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 could watch and listen all day 😍🤩 very nice
Fantasticly easy, fantastic taste, fantasticly fast, what can I say: we love this recipe😍
Looks delicious! My favorite Baking Shows are the ones where Mary and Paul explain everything. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
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.
🇦🇺❤
I love this channel actually can't deal. I don't bake EVER but I am obsessed with watching it anyway
We made these and they were amazing. Great Chef!
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…….
Great recipe. Enjoyed watching especially your savouring of your scone and handshake. A genuine classic. Love it.
These look like a dream! After one failed attempt with a different recipe, this looks like a winner! Thank you
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.
You can't go wrong with a beautiful scone they're always really delicious
I have one every morning. Breakfast isn't complete without one. I prefer them with blackcurrant jam.
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 love scones & I’m going to try this! Best video I’ve ever seen bout this!
It is pure pleasure looking at you and your baking style👍😇It really represents not just the way food is cooked but also the positiveness that goes into it while the preapring process. I love it!!!
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 😂😂😂
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.
Love watching you and Mary on the British Baking Show...thanks for sharing this...Happy Holidays from Massachusetts!
Definitely try it out thanks for sharing one of your amazing recipes
I made these today. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Easy to follow and I really appreciated you explaining the 'bringing together' technique vs. kneading. These turned out extremely well even though I had to use buttermilk because that's all I had in the fridge. Thank you xo
They look so delicious!! Definitely will make your scones recipe here at home
Made them on numerous occasions from your book and was never disappointed.👍
I'm definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks!
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 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 😅
MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
@@Maya-yp2ey oh the BUTTER is the best part for me!
Not biscuits. Scones!
@Maya-yp2ey Hi, how much lemon curd would you add please?
Thank you so much! I was able to make scones successfully for the first time with your help!
Perfection..simply put💓🤗💓
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.
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.
Excellent receipt, great presentation 👏 👍
Looks easy enough. I will try this recipe. Thank you for sharing
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.
We called it home ec. I learned how to cook, sew and create a budget. Much later, I taught these things to my Girl Scout troop
Only taught to girls!
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 🌎!!!
So sorry about your husband. You are so lucky to have had him in your life. I am sure you miss him a ton! Sending heartfelt sympathy to you today.
@@eg7647 Good Morning 🌄 and that's a big AMEN 🙏! He was the best not only in the kitchen but we spent our time together out on the river, from regular fishing 🎣 to setting out nets and trout lines. We did everything together, in the kitchen, out on the river, working in the shop and doing yard work! Where you seen 👀 one you seen 👀 the other accept while working at our jobs! He was the best that God 🙏 sent me ❤️💯
I just made some and they came out perfect ❤ Thank you!
Parfect texture!Love the uneven rise too, this is what a scone should look like.
My mouth was watering while you put that strawberry and cream on it😂. Our cream is nothing like that here in USA. But I have bought the preserves you showed! Thank you! I love when people work w/hands 🙌
It was clotted cream. If you can’t find it in the supermarket CZcams has videos on how to make it yourself 🤓
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!
Oh my goodness they look so good. Yummy! ❤ from Ireland 🇮🇪
I love a plain scone with clotted cream and jam. Nothing better. Glad I found your channel.
He is so so handsome need to watch this several more times as I lost what he was making
😄
😄😄
Yeeeaaaaaa😍
You took the words right out my mouth. And the accent and way he handle the food doesn’t help either. Makes you forget why you clicked on his video 🤤
Bez przesady😂😅
The slo mo is certainly having an effect .
Look delicious.
Have you had a taste of it ? ☺️
You are truly a master baker.
I've never used eggs before but will try it. They look amazing
I am in Culinary and my semester is almost up which means finals are coming. We are having a “Chopped” like final so we go in groups and we think of a appetizer, main dish, and dessert since I’m working on dessert while my partners are working on the rest I’m thinking of making scones :) this was very helpful so I hope everything turns out well :D
Just found your channel today after watching all episodes of City Bakes in 2 days. 😂 Love the details and tips you share here. Your scones look much like our biscuits in the US, especially with the addition of jam and butter at the end. 😊💕
I need a translator. If a biscuit is a cookie, and a scone is a biscuit, what are the triangle pastries called scones we eat here in the U.S. called in Britain?
Im in no way sure about this but maybe 'farl' which is soda bread but its the right shape and similar ingredients.
I would imagine they‘d call it an American scone, when they weren’t calling it a travesty. :)
I think they have much more baking powder and rise much more than cookies/biscuits.
🇿🇦🇺🇸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 🌸🙏
That looks Delicious!
I Love Sconces ✨💗✨
My daughter made homemade clotted cream and it was amazing .
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 😁👍
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.
I love the Q&A in your patter. Easy to learn this way!
I always love this guy he is my favourite
