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.

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!

I was gobsmacked how well these turned out. They do taste amazing. I used it as a basic scone dough and added dates and allspice. Ate with crème fraiche because that’s all the cream l had and some macerated fresh raspberries with grated lime peel. I couldn’t speak and did a happy dance. Thank you very much for the recipe Paul and the tips were much appreciated. It was nice to be successful with scones for a change.

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.
