Mums 100 Year Old Scones Receipe-Yummy they are. 

8 years later I found you and your mom. I don’t imagine you still have her but how wonderful that at 92 she could be so quick and lively! God Bless her. I’m going to pick up some dates and make these. 😋

Gonna try this for sure!! 2 cups of self raising flour 1 table spoon of white sugar 2 cups of chopped dates 1 egg beaten and full cream milk (1 cup) Must be quick and handle lightly

Robert, you were a lucky man indeed to have your Mom for so long. 92 years, what a blessing.

What a blessing to have such a lovely mother, Robert. I close my eyes and imagine the young boy, Robert, hanging around the kitchen watching his Mum makes her delicious scones. You are loving and smart to honor this treasure while you still have her with you. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have one more hour with my Mom. I learned to love the Aussies from my Dad who fought alongside them in WW II. May God richly bless you, your family, and Australia forever.

She still makes delicious food for her family despite her age, mum will always be mum. That's dedication y'all ❤️

Robert, loved your aussie voice and humor. Mum is lovely too, as will be scones today. INSPIRING.

So sad to read of your wise and delightful Mum's passing :( How lucky you were to have had all these years with her. I was fortunate to have had an R&R in Sydney in 1972 where your mates went out of their way to make me feel at home. Thanks to you all!

Interesting recipe. I've never seen scones containing chopped dates, we Pomms use raisins or currants, but I like dates so I'd certainly give these a try. And your lovely mum has the best method, handling the dough as little as possible and no excessive kneading just cutting and scraping the ingredients together, well floured and decisive cutting of each scone straight onto the baking tray, job done. As for those commenting on self raising flour not being around 100 years ago, baking powder added to plain flour was the way to get cakes/scones etc. to rise.

So this has inspired me to bake.. well Idk what to call them but they turned out terrific, and with all the ingredients I have left over in my fridge. - 140 mL coconut milk at 17% fat - 125 g plain flour - 8g of baking powder - i deliberately incorporated in chips of palm sugar, did not measure how much tho - pinch of salt - 10g of cane sugar I simply mixed them all together, stir as little as I could to not stiffen the dough, divided them into 4 balls that I put on a greased baking tray. Then in the preheated oven they went, at 220°C for 15 minutes. Fluffy, moist and they smell like heaven. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Nooooooo, Robert!! Crikey, I was so smitten by your mum and as I watched her mix…welllll, I connected to her having lost my mum near 20 years ago now, but the clincher was when your mum tossed the dates in her mix - BINGO - that made me cry! My mum was a British war-bride, my Aussie dad taking her back to OZ after he played his part in the Battle for Britain. My mum made her scones the same way! Robert, this vid has truly made my day in so many ways! Today, I shall make “Mother’s Scones” to honour both our mum’s! Heaps o’ love from this Sydneysider that this random vid has blessed me so!❤🦘🇦🇺

Fortunate to still have your lovely mother around, what a woman - Old school attitude with no messing about.

Thank you to all you beautiful people who gave such fantastic comments on my Mum's scone recipe, sadly my mum passed away on the 17th September 2019 aged 92 years. Again I would love to thank all who viewed her video. She was amazed at so many views. Again thank you from my beautiful mum and the rest of our family. Robert McDonell

Mum's GORGEOUS! I love the way she cuts the scones... Zero waste! AND I'm making these tonight to go with a nice cup of tea! 💜

Lovely she said "can u stop that while I get the paper" shes too cute

Bless you for doing a video of your mum making scones. Nobody bake like our mum’s. We try to replicate their cooking and baking but, we never quite get it. I love that she shares her mum cut her scone into squares but, she likes to cut them round. Your video is priceless, cherish the treasure of your mum while you have her. And thank you Mrs. King for personally sharing your scone recipe with us. I don’t even care what they look like when they’re done. I’ll try Mrs. Kings’ scone recipe and find out for myself.

Just made these scones. By far the easiest recipy and tasted absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting this recipy.

Thank you so much to your mom. First time ever, I had baked proper scones after many times of trying🙏

It's an eye-opener for me.Didn't know that scones can be made without butter.Hope to try it soon.Thank you for sharing😘😘😘

I have been doing this all wrong?!?! I’m defo making these!! Thank u so much for making! No fancy crap, not dragged out, plain and simple to watch and recreate!! Good job mum!!

I've never seen scones cut that way. However, it makes perfect sense, as the less you work the dough, the lighter the scone. I'll be using Mums' cutting method from now on!

She's cute and just herself. Love you.. your son is perfectly matched to complement your cooking. Love Mums so much. Thank you Mom..

I just made these scones tonight. You're right-these are delicious and so easy to make!! Bless your mom for sharing this with us!

Thank you and I shall remember mum's old lovely recipe. She is a real pro.❤️

This is the best scone recipe made with love. I followed it exactly and it was the best fathers day scones I have ever made thank you for sharing.

I LOVE her SO MUCH! Thank you for sharing your sweet Mama with us! Just Wonderful!

♥️. Oh my God!!! I’m in love with your mum! 🥰 Thank you so much for taking the time to record and share this video of your mum showing us how to make old fashioned scones! 🙏 More please!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Mother .....Mom knows what she is doing and nobody cooks like Mom~

Would liked to have have seen them come out of the oven. Loved how you talked to your Mum and that you sounded genuinely a bit excited about her making scones. Thank you for showing us this video. I've never had a scone, but definitely plan to try my hand at making them now.

I miss my Aussie scones! I’ve been away from Oz for over 40 years and the scones available here in the US are unworthy of the name. There’s something about the flour here that makes it completely different. I had to go to the UK to get my fix a few years ago! Love this no fuss no muss recipe. I’m gonna try it this weekend! Thanks for posting your mom’s contribution to Aussie food prowess!

Bless you, Mrs Kidd!! Mind you, I wouldn't dare to have said 'bullshit' or 'bloody' to my Mum however old I was! I bet those scones tasted amazingly delicious! I love home-baking!!

love this vid no fuss no hassle just good ol get it done method..can't get any realer than that.. awesome xx

Well done Mrs.K. This is great and makes me proud to be a no-nonsense Aussie!

So cute that he's so proud of his Mom... 😂😍

Love the mature lady, so very cute! You are very lucky to have her around!

Thank you so much dear lady for your time and recipe. My lovely mum Heaven Homegoing was 05 March 2013. She did good cooking like you.

You really love yr ma! That's awesome. I'm a chef and the best things I've learned come from yr mums generation. They are masters-!!! God bless her.❣

I just found this video again and I'm thrilled! I made this recipe when I first saw this quite awhile ago. Excellent scones and SO easy to make! But I lost the video and couldn't find it again until today. This time I got smart and immediately saved it. So glad you shared this!!

I watched 10 recipes and this is the best!

This reminds me of when I was a child watching grannie bake she made it look so simple... grandma s are an inspiration..xx

Wonderful mom, thanks for sharing

Thanks! i made these and they truly are the best scones Ive ever tasted. I'm now going to experiment with other flavours. Melt in your mouth! and look very old fashioned.

I made with this recipe and liked it. I could use fewer dates next time since I like it to be less sweet.No-butter no-egg but I like this one better than the regular scone. Thank you for this video upload!

Long life Madam! And definitely, I will try your recipe! Moroccan / Canadian who appreciate the old fashion cooking! 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this Beautiful Video..

Such a beautiful mom and son combo 🥰. I had to view the video twice cause the first time I was just having too much fun with the commentaries 😁😁😁 Thank you for sharing 🤩🥰🙏

Just made a half batch, how silly was I they all gone just trying them. They are tops awesome love them

Love watching this lovely lady work! I cannot wait to make these...I know they will be wonderful. Wish my mother was alive to watch her with me. She would have really enjoyed the recipe and how wonderfully she handles that dough.

Date scones is new to me but the method.... Love it, what a beautiful example of making a foolproof icon.... in her own way.... Tks for posting... :)

I loved this and loved how you made this video with her. I could listen to you both all day. Feel free to cook more together, I'd gladly watch.

Love the light touch and no-rolling method. Wish we could have seen the finished product, though!

I love you, i love mum, and i love those scones...you're my kind of people. I haven't found a scone recipe that i loved until today. I'm going to make these, TODAY, if not every week, or sooner, from now on. You're right, these scones have to be made, i wouldn't be able to find these easily in the shops. THANK YOU 💗💗💗💗💗

I made these her in America! I live in the state of Florida and I wanted to say THIS RECIPE IS SPOT ON! !!

I'd like to see the scones too. But, guys, let's trust this lady. She's been making scones like that for who knows how long. I trust this lady' son too. He sounds genuinely impressed by his mother's recipe.

Thank You Tom ! Yes I looked it up 220 C...It equates to 450 degrees F. to my fellow Americans 😄. Haven't tried this recipe yet...but the reviews have been really good.

Thanks Robert McDonell for sharing this video of lovely Mrs Kidd demonstrating her century old recipe. I never knew scones could be made without butter! YAY!👏👏👍👍. I’m sure going to try making them now! Thanks lots 🙏🙏🙏🥰

Perfect buscuits. Tried this recipe using half and half cream, perfect. Leave out the raisins and you have classic strawberry shortcake. Thank you so much.

Where are the scones? We need to see them and watch someone eat one!!!

fantastic. . shame we didn't get to see the end result.. thank you so much for sharing. Gid bless you and your mom.. Really big thank you.. !!

So lovely your mom. There is no need to see the final results. Wish you the best

You and your son just enriched my life and made it simpler, by far! Thank you. Your "Mum" is very fortunate to have a son who is this sweet & encouraging! Hee Hee I forgot to mention her super-power in cutting that waxed paper!!

Lovely Mum and as you say 88 years young :-) Would love to see the end product, interested to see how they turn out with no butter ;-)

mum presented the bake very well....neat and quick....effortlessly💃💃💃am gonna try your receipe💕thank you

Lovely Mum, I will keep to learn her receipe and hold to more 100 years, please let her khown. With love and thanks. 👍🌟🤟♥️

LOVED this and hope you and your lovely mother are still alive and well! I'm an American who experienced my first authentic scone a few years ago and it was a revelation! Before that, I had only sampled the dry biscuit-like things that pass for scones here. I figured I'd either have to move abroad or learn how to make them myself, so I will attempt this method ASAP--thanks!

I no longer fear making them now thank you from USA

Awe man you didn’t show us the finished scones! Or braking them open or what she puts on them? I just love her she’s absolutely adorable, can we please cook with her again.

Tried these! They are fantastic!!

So very sad to hear you lost your beautiful mum.Loved watching her make those date scones,yummmo they are my favourite.R.I.P. your dear mum.🙏♥️

Yummy! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Three and a half years later, and we're still waiting for them to come out of the oven.

Thank you for this great recipe! I would it love to see how the scones come out. Kisses to your lovely mom in heaven.♥️

What a lovely video. I feel like I've been invited over for a visit. Your mum is so comfortable on camera. She's a natural.

Good on you Mrs Kidd, sieving the flour and aerating. Dates! good farmers scones. Great the way you just put out the mixture and patted it slightly and then cut. And told people the temperature and time. thanks. Nice to see and good home cook at work. The scones I make have about a spoon size of butter rubbed thru thru, teaspoon of sugar and NO egg. I use buttermilk. Made fast and light and they are stunning with jam and cream

Superb I'm gonna try it

I love your Beautiful Mum God Bless her ❤Thanks alot both of you for Sharing us this receipe ❤for Sure I'm going to make it and enjoy it always👌👍❤😊

Did I miss the butter?Where's the butter? never heard of a scone without cold butter cut into flour..

I’ve made Grannie’s scones several times and the are delicious every time. Thanks Sweet Lady.

Bless her heart. Love homemade Scones. Delicious

You are a pleasure to watch! Thank you!
