So interesting to see a completely different approach to cooking and kitchen apparel. No stand mixer, if you don't have a cutter, use a glass, if you don't have a rolling pin use a milk bottle or your hands... I loved watching this, it made me think that we might be overreacting on what our real needs are nowadays :) Oh! And Mary Berry so charismatic :)) Thank you for sharing!

Agreed. It is the same making bread, some people claim to make their own bread and use a breadmaking machine, whereas there is only a set of scales, bowle and a measuring jug really necessary to make bread by hand.

One reason for using less modern appliances and wearing this vintage-type apparel is because this is pretty old; Mary Berry today is a tiny little old lady with many wrinkles and white hair and quite a different voice.

Good old-fashioned no nonsense baking. No fancy gadgets, just your hands and skills.

I'm in the US, and when I heard the intro music and Thames picture, my first thought was Benny Hill. Cheers.

This is how we all started cooking back then. So easy, use your hands and forget all the fancy accessories there are today. So much more satisfying!

I love how simple Mary made it look and with no fancy gadgets like so many of today's bakers use!Refreshingly simple recipe and still watching this legend now.Thankyou Mary, just a shame we didn't see the end result.

8 ounces (one cup) self rising flour, sifted 1 tsp baking powder pinch salt 2 ounces (4 tbsp) margarine or butter, softened rub it in by hand or with a machine after mixing into a crumb like consistency, add 1 tbsp of sugar in a measuring cup, add 1 egg and then add milk until it reaches 5 fluid ounces, slightly over. then add this mixture to the dry ingredients leaving a bit in the measuring cup for glazing. if the dough is too sticky, add more flour. mix with a fork or knife to keep the dough airy and light flour your hands, a rolling pin and the surface you will be working on. dont handle the dough too much, it should be quite soft. roll it out to about half an inch. cut out little scones with a cutter or cup and place them next to each other, touching on a greased pan. glaze them with the egg wash that is left over. bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

I used a fork like she did and my scones came out right for the first time! I was over mixing. Thanks for posting this!

A better way to do it is to grate your cold butter into the flour. Be careful and fluff it quickly or it will try to lump up into a mass again. Quick and effective.

Batch just made, perfect results! All Hail Mary, Queen of Scones!

Love Mary Berry. Absolute goddess! I came across Paul Hollywood 's scone recipe today on KZread. The algorithm may be telling me to bake?

I have her book and her scone recipe tells a rounded teaspoon of baking powder. I am like what? then I watched this video and she's just throwing things so casually to make the scones. WOW

40 years later and still baking....

Now, for those who are confused as to what the differences are between American biscuits and English Scones, American biscuits have no eggs, no sugar, about twice as much butter in the dough. They are also baked at 450 degrees, which Mary does 425.... quite hot compared to most scone recipes. The end result is that scones are more crumbly/cakey, while American biscuits are more flaky due to the higher butter content.

@katefarr2036

2 жыл бұрын

Americans, like me, have also made biscuits with lard, or shortening, instead of butter, and use buttermilk. Sometimes we use shortening AND butter. Makes a better crumb. Also? I will make, if I’m really feeling it, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. And bag on it all you want, it’s definitely not chipped beef on toast, or SOS. It’s actually good. I also make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy maybe once a year. Cholesterol is a thing.

Believe it or not, the first televised cooking programme in the world was in the United Kingdom on the BBC on Wednesday, 12 June 1946 at 8:55 pm. The programme, called simply “Cookery”, starred Philip Harben and was 10 minutes long. I can remember as a child mid-1960s my mum watching the odd cookery programne and they even had night school classes then, for housewives to learn how to cook which she went on with a friend, as a kind of social thing and a rest from being at home, whilst dad minded the children.

I learnt how to make scones during lockdown! I use a BBC recipe similar to Mary's. Differences: no egg, slightly warm milk and ed Lennon juice, leave scones mixture thicker (4cm) and HEAT the baking try while preparing. Finally, use a straight edge, sharp cutter as it makes scones rise much better.

loving the fact there is no metric measurements at all, not one even for the liquids!!!! My we have changed a bit in the UK, I think in both metric and imperial but mostly metric. Grams and Millilitres for me more accurate and scientific too!!!
