If you don’t want to use a food processor but don’t have “cold hands”, grate your butter into the flour mix instead. Just make sure your butter is really cold and hard. Learnt this tip from Chef John over at Food Wishes and it works great not just for scones but also pastry doughs and crumbles...any time cold butter is added to a dry flour mix :)

My grandma always insists to never cut scones with a knife, always break it apart by hand ;-) she's so sweet!

Great recipe, they taste delicious. A tip that might be useful: Spread the dough in between plastic wrap. Doing it that way you won't need extra flour and therefore your leftovers will be in perfect condition to be used again with no problem.

I have tried making these today. They turned out perfect! I have never baked anything before, so you know how easy they are to bake :D I halved everything to make a smaller quantity. Took me only 30mjns to do everything. Used my hands instead of a food processor, tin foil instead of parchment paper( 170c for 20 mins), a knife instead of cookie cutter :D Bake them now! Nothing to worry about!!

I'm so glad i read this! I was really wondering how to cut the dough without a round cutter. Cheers!

A perfect recipe, turned out really delicious and smells amazing. I also added few drops of vanilla extract inside the milk before mixing it into the dough.

After the end of every video I can't wait for next weeks that I feel so compelled to watch a few of your previous videos! They're all so amazing! Please post more than once a week if you can :)

I've made this recipe twice now, and both times they came out exceptionally well. The second time, I divided the dough into two discs, and sandwiched them together to form a natural separation between the top and bottom halves. It worked marvelously, and they pulled apart perrfectly!

"Just add 300ml of milk right into that hole, And once it's all come together, but not combined, get rid of your fork and get your hands in there." Thanks for sharing, I did make your recipe although I was using a stone oven here in the mountains on Crete, I had to use local fresh sheep milk to make the clotted cream which would make another video in itself but all the shepherds I made it for loved it, thanks Jemma.!!

Clotted cream is heavenly!! These look delicious. And for anyone wondering clotted cream is a thick cream that is cooled slowly. You can usually buy it at a specialty supermarket.

Thank you for this recipe they were my first scones ever and they turned out perfect ! Almost as good as the ones I had for tea in London, I guess practice makes them even more perfect. The tiny changes I made : I grated my butter frozen (a pain to clean the grater afterwards but easier than to clean my food processor!), I added dried raisins, I cut the ball of dough in pieces like a cake and then rolled them up more rounded delicately, because I had no cutter and to avoid wasting dough.

I just baked these scones and they came out great! I just reduced the sugar to one tablespoon, because the scone recipes I know gets no sugar. Also I brushed them with a bit of milk instead of egg. Works just as well. Thanks for this great recipe and video!

The way I know of shaping and traying scones was to shape the whole dough into a rectangle, cut it up into squares and lay them in a large rectangular cake tin. They end up square, you have to brake them apart, and it solves the question of having to deal with leftover dough, as you are not cutting rounds,

Both my boys also commented on them being a lot like biscuits. Does anyone know if there is actually a difference?

Rather than cut out the "round" scones you can cut them "square" edge to edge with zero waste and no worry about having to re-roll, just saying :)

Triangular scones are traditional in certain parts of Britain. The Scots could lay claim to the original shape as scones were baked on a girdle (griddle) and developed from or into other forms such as the bannock - in Scotland "scone" and "bannock" are used interchangeably.

But clotted cream is thicker than jam, so surely it makes more sense to spread that on first then top with jam? If you put jam on first and try to spread the clotted cream on top you're going to end up with a big mess haha

Nigella Lawsons recipe to make your own clotted cream 3 pints milk ½ pint cream Mix the milk and cream together and pour into a wide saucepan. Cover to keep out the dust and leave to stand in a cool place (NOT the fridge) for several hours until the cream has risen to the top. Lift the pan carefully onto the stove so that the risen layer of cream is not disturbed or broken up. Warm through on the lowest possible heat, on an asbestos mat if you like. Keep at this low heat for 40-50 mins until the top of the cream is crinkled and golden yellow. Remove the pan from the stove, cover and leave to stand for several hours or overnight in a cool place...but NOT the fridge! Then, using a slotted spoon, skim off the cream into a dish, allowing the milk to drain back into the pan. The milk can be used for pancakes or scones.

You must make sure that the cream that comes floating on top of the milk doesn’t break etc. etc. Look it up on the internet. I promise you it is worth your while.

+Maria Persson sorry for chiming in late, but it also sounds like you might have mixed it too much. The trick to making fluffy scones is to mix them as little as possible to keep the air in the mixture. If not, they'll come out more like biscuits. Also, as Jemma said, your oven temp may vary. Depending on your altitude, the higher up you are, the longer it'll take because there's less air pressure. If you're using baking powder/soda, it'll expand more quickly leaving your food a bit fluffier than usual, causing it to dry out or even be too soggy.
