Here's your basic "start here" scone recipe. While this simple vanilla scone is delicious as is, it's also the perfect vehicle for your favorite add-ins; we happen to love dried cranberries and walnuts. Though chocolate chips are tempting, too!

Besides the dough being a sticky mess, mine always tend to be dense, not all fluffy like the pictures show.
Thank you! I’d love to try making scones. There’s a bakery near me that sells raspberry ones with a lemon glaze on top - so good.
I think Scones are similar to Shortbread in taste, but softer in texture when all is done. I haven’t had very many.
The recipe mentions using nuts and dried cranberries.
That sounds tasty. Adding a wee drop or two of almond & lemon extracts can change the character of any dessert.
Me Mum used to put dates in her scones ...
Scones go great with good coffee.
Thank you for sharing.
Scones are not easy to find in stores and I love them.
Are they supposed to be hard as rocks?
*hesitantly* Why do you ask?
Oh thanks for sharing! Not that I need anymore delicious things to cook and eat. I always “bake things for the grandkids” ;)
I haven’t tried making scones in a very long time, the recipe reminds me of my Soda Bread recipe.
Now, to find clotted cream .....
Thanks for all the replies! When I try to do this, I’ll post about the results here.
Save for later...
:)
Sounds like you are over mixing, activating the gluten which is good for breads but not cake type doughs.
Currants
Should you freeze butter and grate it like biscuits....

Try making griddle scones. I think that is how they were traditionally made.
If you go camping, you can mix the ingredients ahead of time and cook them over a campfire or portable stove.
LOL. I thought that Spite Store episode was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years.
:-)
I guess if they were not as hard as rocks, they’d be called Muffins.
She was a cannibal? J/k it just struck me funny what you said lol
