Hi Beth! I love scones. I work at a cafe where I bake scones every morning. The way that we prep as much as possible while keeping things as fresh is possible is to keep all of the dry ingredients in a sealed container, into which we grate the butter with a box grater (it's a lot of hand grating but really works well). As a result, the butter+flour mix is chilled over night which makes it an easy task to fold, cut, and bake the scones in the morning. We also have our ingredients for the flavour prepped in small and separate containers to add in the crumb stage, as you did here.
Beth, I remember I have seen a video somewhere that in order to ensure the scones raise evenly in the oven, you got to press the cutter straight down instead of twist and wiggle the cutter. I'm so going to try out your recipe soon! I love scones!
I was struggled with the misshape scone. Living in the hot climate is so difficult to make it right. I tried chilling the dough in the fridge as your advice and it came out perfect. Thank you so much for a useful tips. 😍
Hi Beth. Greetings from Malaysia. Tried making your raisin scones recipe and they turned out amazing. Crusty on the outside and soft inside. Thank you for this.
I love how informative and detailed your videos are - many of the things you point out (such as the fact that it's best to pop the scones back in the fridge in order to help them retain their shape once they bake) are so useful and add to the general knowledge base, which is always a good thing :) keep up the amazing work!
I always watch you and Chef Anna Olson to get ideas and the best scones. Your tip about after cutting the dough back to the refrigerator helped my dough staying firm! Thank you so much!
I LOVE that you made this video. I was just sitting in the backyard as the cool New England autumn breeze rolled in and kissed my face. It sent a comforting craving for a sweet scone and cup of chai tea. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you Beth!
I made according to recipe but used sour dough starter instead of cream and used dates instead of sultanas. Beautiful scones and made exactly eight just like the recipe said. The reason I said this is because these things don’t usually work out for me. They are just so Yum 😋 Thank you Beth. (I am called Beth short for Elizabeth)
Mmmm.... I love scones. And I love tea. My favourite are raisin scones, but I also like savoury cheddar cheese scones. For some reason I like to put jam in cheddar cheese scones, while I prefer the raisin ones just with butter.
Oh my gosh, those look SOOO DARLING!!! It really makes me feel like a little girl again, having a tea party with some plush toys and scones. You're the best! Thank you so much!!!
I loved this video! I love hosting tea parties :) I would pair a cranberry and orange scone with an earl grey to bring out the bergamot. I missed having tea, I'm so glad it's getting chillier in California!
Ha! I know me too! I'm "done" with the hot weather here in California. So excited for fall! I love a good earl grey tea too! That's my hubby's favorite :)
My mum makes Scones all the time. Its a very Kiwi/ British thing to have scones. :D I have eaten them all my life so tasty. I think the recipe we use in New Zealand is slightly different but this turned out awesome none the less.
Ive made the chocolate ice cream recipe and it is the best ive ever taste! I just have to say that Im on puerto rico and here the heat is so high that on 30 minutes my ice cream wasnt ready so y put it on the freezer and it get finished. The only thing that happened to me is that I didnt found bittersweet chocolate on stores so I used Semi-Sweet and added cocoa powder for the flavor and it was perfect. Love you beth and thank you for this I had a great family moment :)
cindylopez67 Aww I love hearing that! It's really my hope with this channel, to share family recipes that mean something to my family in the hopes that they will soon mean something to yours :) xx Happy Cooking!
Ooo! I'm always looking for a good scone recipe, I'm addicted to the things but have never really been able to find a good recipe for them that was flexible, it mostly was just for one kind of scone. I love how you made this recipe so no matter what you add you are able to still create a lovely scone! I think I may try this recipe with some vanilla beans and put on a glaze afterwards for a sweet scone, I had something similar to that once and I fell in love with it so if I can make it myself at home all the better! I'll probably be using this recipe often to make some for my family, my dad, mom and I all love tea so I think the sconces would make a lovely additive to our evening tea. Thanks for sharing this recipe! :D
Love the look of these scones, I'm English and have never seen a chocolate scone before but as a self confessed chocoholic, I will definitely be trying these out :)
Thank you so much for this recipe Beth......love how you pair it with your choice of tea....it's the perfect match. Thanks so much for sharing, enjoy your week-end.
Hi Beth, I absolutely love all of your videos. My grandmother LOVES scones but she's diabetic. Even though you don't use a lot of sugar in the dough I was wondering what can I use as a sub for the sugar?
Hi Beth! I loooove your apple tart recipe, I've made it three times now! I'm planning on organising a brunch with some of my friends! I wanted to make something sweet and savoury, so I was wondering what would be some good ingredients/flavour pairings to make some savoury scones (using your scone recipe here as the base). Thank you so much!
Thanks Beth. I love your recipes with all those vital tips. I love scones and I was looking for a proper recipe, which can go with my home made strawberry jam. Please, also give the recipe of pumpkin scones.
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it is so great and detail method for me as a beginner, I am confused what kind of the flour should I used? Plain flour, self raising flour or white plain?
These are amazing scones, very delicious! Thank yo very much for your recipe, so easy and delightful! In addition, what is the music in the end? Thanks
MaryUkraine Ha I know isn't it catchy? :) It's actually just some cleared music from a production music library. I'm not sure if it's available for sale? But maybe you could "shazam it" and see? :)
I know this is an old video, BUT let me tell you I have found the perfect scone recipe! They are so good and way better than cafe scones. Butter, cream, eggs... so decadent 👌💜💚💜
Hi Beth! I love this recipe.. and now my friends love it too after they tasted the goodies :) I like how you always explain the process and not just assume we know the details... It's great! And that is why i want to ask you for a Praline Recipe. I know there are a lot out there - but they seem so very complicated to follow! And I know how you always make recipes look easy - and so we dare to start cooking! ..not just wishing. I but a praline silicone mold and the shapes are so lovely that I must find a way to make them. Please help! Thanks!
Oh Entertaining With Beth ! All these teas and scones are making me emotional ! Ahah ! And you did, without knowing, my favorite snack after school when I was little ! Fresh chocolate scones (with butterscotch sauce, I'm guilty..) and peppermint tea, so refreshing yes ! Loved this recipe !
Yay! More scone recipes! I just made your scone recipe from your Kin community Brunch video, so next time I'll be sure to make one of these recipes! Thanks Beth!
Beth, such a beautiful video! So comforting, perfect for this time of the year,FALL!!!. My favourite! The scone recipes are delicious, and all of those teas go perfect with your scones, great choice Beth! I hope you are having a great weekend, Patricia.
ow this video is so inspiring Beth!! I wanna do my tea party too now even though is not common at all in Italy ahahah loved your table presentation as well, so elegant. hope you will do again a whole-menu video with the game plan part like in the past, I enjoyed it so much! hava a nice weekend Beth!! Gianmarco
Hi Giamarco! Ha yes I'm sure this wouldn't be a very common thing to serve in Italy (you have so many other wonderful pastries there!) But hey it could be a fun thing to surprise your guests with ha! :) I know I love those full party menus too! I want to be able to afford to bring them back here on my channel. They were part of a Kin Community series we did on Kin as part of a funded channel program, where YT gave us funding to produce them. Sadly they are expensive to produce, since they take a full day to shoot and a full week to edit. But worth it in my opinion. I think they are so great and helpful for people.I hear YT is bringing crowd source funding to channels soon, where creators will be able to raise money for certain projects and I'm thinking maybe we try that to see if we can raise enough money to bring them back? Maybe 6-7 of them a year for all the major holidays? Keep you posted on that! :) Hope all is well in beautiful Italia! :)
thanks for your explanation Beth, I hope it will possible again in future then! They are very helpful for the major holidays indeed and also very enjoyable to watch! It's been a super rainy summer in italy so we're ready for the fall baking now ;-) xxx
Hi Beth, My favorite scone has white chocolate and pecans with a hint of cinnamon. I used to get them at a bakery that has since closed. I miss them!!! I'm going to try to recreate the recipe with your base. Thanks. Btw, where did you get that super cute honey container?
Hi Beth. For the cranberry orange scones, would it be okay to brush with an egg wash too and to sprinkle with brown sugar instead? I'm not using turbinado sugar that much so I was just wondering. Thanks and I LOVE your channel!
hiii!! the scones look so good! can’t wait to try them 😋 but may i know if i could use whipping cream instead of heavy cream? it’s hard to find heavy cream in my country
I have 2 girls ages 9 & 10 and we've never had a tea party. Criminal, I know. I'm battling cancer and am on a mission to create awesome memories with them, so recently I decided I want to have a girly tea party. Thanks so much for the recipes! I just hope my 6 year old son will want to join in :-). P.s. I hate raisins. So glad you gave 2 other yummy alternatives.
Susana Christiansen Oh Susana what a lovely idea, and yes I am sure your son will join in when he sees the chocolate scones :) I've found parenting is all about the memory making and I always think to myself "I'm in the childhood business" and what I create is what they will remember. Please know you are in my thoughts as your battle your cancer, I wish you all the strength and support you need and I hope these recipes will help you create those memories you will cherish. Ones that you will all look back on fondly years from now :) Mothers are amazing creatures and we can accomplish great feats we put our minds to.:) Sending you "digital hugs" xox Beth
I just was in England and LOVED scones :) So I hope this works out :D I love you recipes!! So nicely done and they looks delicious! Greeting from Germany :)
I made chocolate orange scones 2 times with this recipe and they tasted great :) by the way my dough turned out quite sticky though. Is that how it's supposed to be?
hello beth.. i can spend hours watching your videos.. they all are so tempting.. thank you so muchh.. haha. bytheway, i'm wondering about this scone recipe. i watched another scone recipe, they use buttermilk or even a milk instead of the heavy cream. what are the differences between those? at the end, i followed your recipe and it turned out amazing. thank you so much.. :):):)
Good day Beth, I usually pre-soften my raisins in warm water when baking. In the case of scones, do you believe the extra moisture might affect the dough negatively?
Hi Beth. I made this following your recipe and they were just so yummy. But I have one problem though, the top of the scones were kind of round, not as flat as yours. I did pop them into the fridge before baking. I wonder what went wrong.
Aw thanks for that :) So glad you enjoy them! A lot of my dishware comes from family pieces passed down (like the cups and saucers) or pieces I pick up at inexpensive home stores like Cost Plus World Market (Tea pots), Chinatown (the napkins) or my favorite source, museum stores (that's where I got the little honey pot) I'm just always on the look out for interesting things (I have a bit of a dishware fetish according to my family!) I also love Thirft stores and flea markets, you can find some great things there too! I think an eclectic mix always gives a table more personality, and more stories to tell too! :)
I'm loving your video I'm checking every morning to make some good snacks :) Today I make Paris brest in nutella cream...wow kids love it,your video makes it easy for me.thanx a lot
Ha! I know I kept thinking about that too! I wanted to keep going...tea sandwiches, pastries the whole bit! :) Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford to do those party menus again!
May I ask why do you use the egg mixture on top of the circle scone and the cream on top of the triangle one ? Do I have to follow the same process when I Will do it or can I use the cream for the circles scones ? Does it make a difference in terms of taste ?
