While everyone's been making sourdough and plain bread during the COVID 19 shutdown, I've been making scones to kick it up a notch! I used raisins and it still tasted fine. I then decided to use my frozen raspberries and it was even better. Just crumble the frozen berries so they break into the tiny "kernels". I also made the strawberry spread and clotted cream! 💯
In England a high tea First, they serve little sandwiches, and savories. Second Scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. The third course is desserts, cakes, cookies, you need a least 2 workouts to makeup for the richness and decadence of the foods you will be eating that afternoon, and usually a nap !
Scone, pronounced 'skoon', is the ancient Scottish capital as is not in the north of Scotland. It is just outside Perth in the middle of Scotland. I don't recognise this recipe and traditional Scottish scones are made on a girdle, a flat piece of steel about 300mm in diameter with a hooped handle. There is no fruit in a Scottish scone.
I made them a couple of weeks ago with walnuts and dates instead of currents and sprinkeld them with sugar and cinnamon....they are indeed delicious!! :) I love your recipes!! Keep them coming!
All you need now is some cream, jam and some nice breakfast tea. Clotted cream is like natural cream... from fresh milk... but you know that really. Scone Henge! genius! I'm gonna make one!
Clotted cream is nothing more than whipped cream...in Britain they serves the scones with the cream and jam between the two halves, the jam in the center, then the cream around it, mmmmmmmmm! Yummy!
@Shiaine Clotted cream is not whipped cream. It's made by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms clots.
Hahaha, I laughed so much when you talked about "sconehenge". Probably a lot more than I should have. Love your vids! Btw, scones with clotted cream are AMAZING. One of my favorites that I'm not able to find very often, unfortunately.
Hehe, I am watching this after his newest vid. He says here "I heard it's good with Clotted Cream. I don't know what it is..." You will, Chef John, in the future. You will... lol ;)
Thank you so much¡¡¡¡, i have seen a lot of recipies, but they either need a lot more ingredients i didnt have, or made a lot of scones and my oven is rather small. But this recipe is perfect¡, i can even bake them in the oven-toaster fixture, and they came out great¡.
I always talk about having tea and scones, but I've never actually had em! So I finally made em this evening! I used blueberries and tossed on a lemon glaze but used your methods! SOO easy to make and delicious! Thanks :D Your videos make people think I'm pro ^_~ lol
For a lighter, more tender scone, you might use pastry flour instead of A.P. , and I'm definitely in favor of using cream as the wash instead of an egg wash. Still good stuff.
@Bonstergirl Thanks. I try that as well. They are always great while still warm, but the next day they get hard. When I take them out the oven earlier, warming them in the microwave later on does help to return them to a soft, melting chocolate chip state though.
I watched your clotted cream video first because you mentioned making scones out of the extra milk but now I watch this and this was before you had ever had/made clotted cream! Hahaha I'm glad you got to make the clotted cream since you said it was one of your favorite things~
Scone is a Scots (Scotch, as Americans like to say) word. It means Fine Bread. You Cook the Scone into a big round loaf bread (Scone) and mark it into triangles then cook, everyone gets a triangle, that is the tradition. Traditionally, in Scotland we don't use baking powder, we use self Raising flour.
I diverged a bit, add 3 TBS butter, so 1 stick, and chocolate chips. They came out awesome. I gave Ali's followed this recipe and added sauteed onions and shredded cheddar cheese. Easy recipe to play with.
Aye the scottish pronounciation of scone is generally like 's'gone' or scauns also try then just warm with a little butter and jam in the middle, Very good :)
after you mix the dough in the bowl and put it on the board , don't pat them down like that just form it gently into a rough shape and cut them , the result will be a much lighter scone , also , for best results when you cut the scones if you can see visible bits of butter then you did it right.
Hello all your videos are awsome. I have a special request, I am a working mom and for dinner i am always in a rush to make something to eat before it gets to late aty night. I was woundring if you can make a video of fast and tasty dinner receipe. Thanks in advance.
yesterday I've made these and the result are totally good..!! thanks for the recipe..!! hehheee.. after yesterday result now I'm gonna try to make some variation from the recipe nyam nyam mmmmmm...
I watched a random video online and it had the same start up music... I was like, why is foodwishes playing? :p These look good. I had a scone at a bakery a few months ago and it was to. die. for. Been trying to find a recipe to match them, maybe I'll try this.
Traditionally these do not use currants, but rather sultana's, at least that's how all Scottish, or English grandmothers make them. Makes a much better scone. Also they should be higher and so flat. This allows them to be sliced through the middle, like a burger bun, thus facilitating better application of the butter and jam...just a few cents from a fellow chef...an English one lol!
These are real scones! This is pretty much exactly how the are made in England. In Scotland and Northern English dialects scones are pronounced [skonz] in the south, the way you said it. In dialect terms, scones are a pretty good indication of where somebody comes from.
Weirdly i made this and i forgot to add my butter (i know im such an idiot -_- ) then once it was finished it was actually really nice! Tasted like a scone too! I replaced the currents with chocolate chips and it was AMAZING! Next time i will remember to add the butter hehe ...
Chef John -- I don't know if you'll see this since you get 800 million comments, but I recently saw Alton Brown actually grate ice-cold butter into his dough. It was for a mincemeat pie crust. Does that work with your biscuit and scone doughs too? I thought it was interesting and might be easier for those who don't have a pastry cutter.
@xdeathisrighttherex Haha yeap it was the episode from earlier tonight =D -- thanks a lot for your help! It really does seem like an excellent way to get very consistent butter bits throughout.
well i trust chef john! these look great! dunno what a curin is.. but I guess these are suppose to be sweet so i gues curins are good ; D scone henge made me laugh. and the vegas comment made me laugh too. chef john is a chef comedian!

Pastry and black jack tips all in one video. So convenient.
"Scone Henge"! I love it!
I've watched about five video clips before I actually baked my own scones. This clip is the best. I totally recommend it!
This is a great scone recipe. I made two batches: one plain and one with cranberries, roasted walnuts, and orange zest. They both tasted delicious.
I'm british and i think you NAILED the scones, perfectly explained and actually very precise :D
Och no, I say it like 'scoane'! Top notch, once again Chef John.

Don't forget the Ceylon tea! In a ceramic teapot.
I had ploughman's lunch and though it looked unimpressive at the end I could barely get out of my chair. Just saying.
Best scones ever!! Seriously.
Haha my sister walked up behind me coincidentally with a muffin and I thought for a second I had smell-o-vision. Looks great!
I've watched so many of your videos by now.. simply the sound of your voice makes me hungry :)
The tri-fold obviously works,
your food is so perfect.
scones originated in a small town in the north of scotland called Scone ( scon ) just for your imformation

You finally made clotted cream 7 years on. :DD
😁😁😁

Sconehenge .... Love it!
I am back at your site after couple of years looking for your scones recipes. Found it. I’m happy.
It’s easy and yummy.

Seriously, your videos have a hunger effect on me. Not to mention your voice is like that cool, soothing, Morgan Freeman type.
Hahaha, I laughed so much when you talked about "sconehenge". Probably a lot more than I should have.
Love your vids! Btw, scones with clotted cream are AMAZING. One of my favorites that I'm not able to find very often, unfortunately.
"like many of my theoyes i can't prove it" LOL i love ur humor
Hehe, I am watching this after his newest vid. He says here "I heard it's good with Clotted Cream. I don't know what it is..."
You will, Chef John, in the future. You will... lol ;)

"Sconehenge" is fantastic. Can't wait to make these!
I always talk about having tea and scones, but I've never actually had em! So I finally made em this evening! I used blueberries and tossed on a lemon glaze but used your methods! SOO easy to make and delicious! Thanks :D Your videos make people think I'm pro ^_~ lol
Take frozen butter and use a box grater right into the bowl. Easy peasy
I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THESE! The other tutoraisl always make them triangles!
For a lighter, more tender scone, you might use pastry flour instead of A.P. , and I'm definitely in favor of using cream as the wash instead of an egg wash. Still good stuff.
I'm making clotted cream with mine....
Many thanks Chef John!
@Bonstergirl

Love all your videos. Thanks for all the time you spend making them.
i literally laughed out loud at the scone henge bit. i love your little jokes
lol i like how honest you were about making the stone hedge LOL
Amazing! Yet again!
Tried the recipe and "LOVED THEM" very tasty and even flaky... Served with some "Americano" drip coffee from Starbucks and BAM!!!! You got perfection!
Aye the scottish pronounciation of scone is generally like 's'gone' or scauns
also try then just warm with a little butter and jam in the middle, Very good :)
They look very neat Chef John! I love scones! Thanks for posting!!
I made these but put strawberries at the end and omgggg amazzzinggg
my husband loves scones!!! Thank you for this recipe!! and good luck in Vegas!!
Very much like our biscuits here in Appalachia, only with currants. The demo vid shows how simple it is to make this traditional treat.
I’ve read that most Appalachians are of Scottish descent. Perhaps the origin of your biscuits?
Looks awesome!
after you mix the dough in the bowl and put it on the board , don't pat them down like that just form it gently into a rough shape and cut them , the result will be a much lighter scone , also , for best results when you cut the scones if you can see visible bits of butter then you did it right.
I made these except with blueberries and lemon zest and it is delicious! x] thank you for the great recipe!
I always thought scones were very dry and 'crumbly'... I definitely giving those a try! Thanks again, Chef!
look nice. ginger scones are the best!
Hello all your videos are awsome. I have a special request, I am a working mom and for dinner i am always in a rush to make something to eat before it gets to late aty night. I was woundring if you can make a video of fast and tasty dinner receipe. Thanks in advance.
I just made clotted cream. It is pretty fantastic. Thanks for ruining my diet! :D
'as nervous as you can get making skones'. He ís funny! Keep it up John!!
In England it's usually pronounced scon
Hence the celebrated schoolboy joke: What's the fastest cake? Scon! (S'gone - geddit?)
only us northerners say scon mate
yesterday I've made these and the result are totally good..!! thanks for the recipe..!! hehheee.. after yesterday result now I'm gonna try to make some variation from the recipe nyam nyam mmmmmm...
Fantastic video Chef John!! Thx so much.
How is it possible to click "dislike" on any of Chef John's videos?
it look so easy....
i'm gonna try to make it my self.
I watched a random video online and it had the same start up music... I was like, why is foodwishes playing? :p These look good. I had a scone at a bakery a few months ago and it was to. die. for. Been trying to find a recipe to match them, maybe I'll try this.
@HKUser92 you can try rice, tapioca (cassava), almond, corn or potato flours cause they're gluten-free.
These Remind me of professor Langdon from Dan Brown’s novel
Scone henge! I love it.

Cheff, back of the class for the scone henge joke ,nice scones though.
Chef John your scones came out PERFECT! :D

@junkybox totally agree with you. LOVE CLOTTED CREAM.
hahaha I subscribed because you gave me a delicious-sounding recipe AND made me laugh. A lot. :)
I think buttermilk would be awesome in this.
Would love to see you do a recipe for Jalapeno-Cheddar Scones.
Wouldn't it just be jalapenos and cheese instead of currants?
***** It would.
ooh sounds yummy
Glass Candy request?
By the way I love how easy to follow your videos are, they're GREAT!
Definitely loled at the Sconehenge comment.
a cranberry butter would be fabbbb with these :)
@pattylevand I'm in agreement. I've got two little ones. Fast and easy is the only way to go. Please do...
U have a good sense of humor... : )
great demonstration. I'm a huge fan. can you make House Special Pork Chops? Thanks.
Yummy!
Clotted Cream with scones are the besssst!!!!!!!! I think they are also known as devonshire cream... hmmm correct me if i'm wrong..
Chef John -- I don't know if you'll see this since you get 800 million comments, but I recently saw Alton Brown actually grate ice-cold butter into his dough. It was for a mincemeat pie crust.

I love you chef John!! your the funniest! =D
Super!
@Dani1165 Take them out of the oven a little bit earlier. I do it all the time with chocy-chip or oatmeal cookies. Makes them nice and chewy.
try toasting them then put jam on them it's really good
Great Recipe John! I just posted an amazing Recipe today myself for Grape Scones!! Your videos are always fun!! 😊
OMG I WANNA
Scones are scottish :O awesome something else to add to my list of favourite things lol
Thanks for heeding the scone requests, Chef John. Great tutorial as always!
Here, in 2021! Found your clotted cream video and just hoped you had a scone offering... :) Greetings from NYC!
Im about to impress my girlfriend with these videos. I love it.
Could one theoretically switch out the milk and sour cream for buttermilk? (I've got all this buttermilk I've gotta use.)
Sconehenge....haha don't quit your day time job...c I can joke 2 ..keep the recipe coming Foodwishes!!
well i trust chef john!
