How to make Perfect Fluffy Scones
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A step by step with secrets behind the perfect fluffiest scones that you would find at 5-star establishments (like Harrods). The tips is not what you might have been told and relies on adequate mixing and more importantly Resting of the dough. Vegan substitution optional
RECIPE
Plain flour 300g
Caster sugar 25g
Baking powder 18g
Fine salt 1g (pinch)
Butter, unsalted 85g - You can use your fave vegan block/stick butter
Milk 175g - You can also do half milk and half buttermilk or use PLANT milk!
1. Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. You won’t need to sift the flour.
2. Cut your butter into one centimetre cubes and place into flour mixture
3. Use a rubbing motion, like rubbing your hands together, mixing the flour and rubbing together to rub the flour and butter until you reach a breadcrumb consistency.
4. Add milk and use a spatula to mix a dough, and continue mixing until it comes together with no dry mix left
5. Pour the dough into a lightly floured bench and knead the dough. A lot of recipes call for little to no beading but I find it makes a crumbly scone. You need it to be developed a bit so that it is able to capture the gas created by the baking powder being activated.
You want the top of the dough ball to be smooth
5. Rest for 15-20 minutes on bench, wrapped in cling film to rest so the scones cut nicey and stay round
6. Lightly flour the bench + the top of the dough ball and turn over so the smooth side is on the bench
7. Roll in both directions to 2-2.5cm thick and very lightly flour the top of the dough - this will mean you don’t have to dust your cutter in between cuts.
8. Cut decisively with a 6cm round cutter, and then carefully turn over the scone, and place it on the tray - this gives you a nice sharp edge
9. Brush egg yolk that has been whisked with a pinch of sugar and salt - for nice consistency - neatly across the top of the scone so it's a perfect golden circle and rest for 1 hour!!! This will make the rise perfectly and evenly.
10. Half an hour before baking, preheat the oven to 180*C fan forced and place rack in the middle of the oven
11. Bake the scones for 10-11 mins until the tops are nice and golden!

Enfin une vraie recette des scones ! Beaucoup disent de ne pas pétrir , et de ne pas laisser reposer ..résultat , les scones sont secs et friables ..et ne gonflent pas comme il faut . Donc un immense merci !!! J’ai cherché cherché et je vous ai enfin trouvé ! 😊👍👍👍
This recipe and process gave me just the results I was looking for. My scones were always to dry and crumbly (because I was also told to limit the dough manipulation to as little as possible, and never heard of kneading and resting as you would with a bread dough). Although this takes a while the outcome is pure fluffy scone perfection. Many thanks for posting.

Looks divine... Scones look good too
Amazing! 😍❤️thanks for sharing!

Could not believe how perfect and fluffy they were . Currently on the first wait time of my second batch , they were soooooo good we devour them all in one go

I watched your video 15 times for few days. Before this recipe I used bbc scones. No kneading was easy to cut. Straight. I tried your recipe and the only thing I changed was adding 1 tbsp soon of clotted cream to creamy thick milk. Then I also added vanilla Essenes. I have never kneaded bread in my life. So I do not know what smooth looks like. I kneaded about 25 times trying to fold into ball. But had layers inside ball. I will need to practice the smoothing part. Cutting was not easy as my dough was bouncy. Only 1 came up straight. But taste flavour etc is really delicious with a nice bite . It was heavenly. Thank you 🙏
Wow! I just made these and risked using wholemeal spelt flour to replace 1/3 of the flour. They are out of this world. So light. Thank you!
Thank you Philip these are absolutely amazing my 1st scones years ago were a disaster not made them again until last week following your recipe I've made 4 batches since 5 stars 🥰.. ps always jam the cornish way 😘

Hi! What measurement would you suggest for the sultanas? I'm hoping to also try adding berries as I am obsessed with blueberries! Thank you for this video!
Love the scones btw - god tier scones have no equal.
Cream first for sure, for the exact reason you mentioned - it’s the more solid of the two toppings so it can be spread evenly if applied first. Then the more liquid jam is spooned over. Also ensures you don’t just get a mouthful of cream first when you bite into the scone 🎉
I'll try this soon and expect more vegan recipes from you

I watched many of video , u tell me more tips to make the best scone. thx
Hey ! It looks lovely, and I want to make the recipe. I asked you before, can I freeze the scones?
This looks delicious can you add blueberries in the scone mix instead
This Friday is my second bake , I used bread flour, the previous batch two families well travelled said best scones
Can I bake them a day before use. If so, how do I warm them. Or can I keep the dough in the fridge?
Delious
Awe jam first always these are fab a bit sticky at first but well worth the your time kneeding them, thanks phil I will keep this recipe for next time now going to enjoy one ( or 2 ) xx

Would it be okay to make them bigger? Would that affect the baking time?
Thanks for the great tips!!! I’ve tried making scones for a few times and got cracked tops every single time because everyone said don’t mix the dough too much. What a relief to learn that it’s actually necessary to knead the dough to give that nice smooth top! I’m gonna try this out this weekend. ❤

Thank you! Interesting, need to try your method with extra kneading and proving periods. Not sure about the baking powder though - why to use it if the gas we need to make the dough fluffy will leave the dough by the time it reaches the oven?

Hi there! Baking powder is still crucial here as it is activated fully in the oven as the dough heats. Happy baking!
Hello , anyone knows if they can be frozen ? And when in the process would it be best . Before the one jour rest time ?
What are the measurements for the ingredients? We
Can I have the recipe please..im interested to bake some..the amount of flour..etc.

Damn, he's one fine perfect scone.
These are more like American biscuits, a scone is meant to have a crumbly texture and be a little on the dry end. The method of not mixing overtly is to leave air in the mix. Kind kytocks' recipe is how a true scone is made. This recipe is great but it's a biscuit not a scone.

Appreciate that, and your compliment! Totally understand your pov. Many viewers are looking for a fluffier and lighter recipe than they usually find, and this based on the recipes I've prepared in a number of traditional institutions according to time honoured techniques which also exist they way they do due to the machanical processing using mixing machines etc.
All that waiting for the dough to improve... really?!! I guess you can do that if you want to, but I've literally just cooked a bunch of light fluffy scones... no waiting, just mixed together, no milk, just butter and water and a little sugar to mixed with flour, not even a rolling pin used, they came out beautifully light... no holes or crumbly texture. You can make baking as complicated as you want, with a lot of added 'must do' rules, but you can also make it really easy on yourself and get exactly same, perfectly good results.
