My Nannan made the best scones, she would call them halfa scones. 300 S.R. Flour, 150 Sugar, 75 Butter, 2 med Eggs, splash of milk if needed. Absolutely gorgeous 😋😋😋

You are adorable to mention your Nana!

i installed a TV in my kitchen... just to watch YOU. i love your style,,, Your past teaching skills are perfect. And Your smile is magnetic & bright. Thank you. My grandchildren love the cakes Grandma Pat makes.

When you say “ahmazing” you have me hooked. In Canada it’s generally called whipping cream as it’s the 33%. When I chop up dried fruit, which always seem sticky, I spray a little cooking spray on my knife. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

John, I have immense respect that you acknowledged the international versions of the scone. Being Australian, the UK style is obviously what we refer to when we think of scones, but these (US style) look absolutely delicious, too! Great work.

Looks perfect will try to make them. Will be my first. Thanks so very much.

In cooking class here in South Africa we were taught to make both types os scones. The ones that John calls American scones we were told was breakfast scones. The British ones are tea scones.

Scottish granny here. I make “scawns” in a similar way in that I grate my chilled butter before rubbing it in, pat the dough into a round and cut it into triangles which my Yorkshire granny called a fadge (an Irish term I believe). My recipe is a little bit different.

Me, too. I have ever seen scones in triangles that are cut first except or here in America.. The wedge shape comes from making a large round traditionally. My family is English.

I live in SW France and I have melanoma. I go to Bordeaux for my immunotherapy treatments and a lovely taxi lady takes me. She LOVES scones so I will have to make these for her on my next treatment day.

Crème épaisse i believe is the closest to heavy cream in France.

Holy crap - I just made these with fresh cranberries and orange zest. These are the best scones I've ever had in my life! THANK YOU for this recipe!

That's how I make mine! I buy an extra bag or two of cranberries at holiday time and toss them in the freezer to use year-round. You can mix them in frozen and bake right away, they thaw and burst during baking.

I'm irish and we say double cream , and our Irish kerry gold butter has salt so I don't add salt , love your channel , ive made a lot of your recipes, made your mushroom risotto today and it was delicious

I live in Illinois and I’m able to get unsalted Kerry Gold Butter

In the Hebrides of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 scones are made ( in minutes) in this triangular shape. My MIL was from the Isle of Lewis and she used to knock these up and serve them as savoury snacks with cheese and crispy bacon, obviously she omitted the sugar and used salt and pepper and a pinch of mustard powder, if sweet she added sugar and sultanas . They were delicious ❤

Speaking of clotted cream, Chef John has an improv recipe for it (basically you just bake heavy cream at 200° or lower for about 12 hours), and while it makes some really good cream it's 'not quite' Devonshire cream which uses a whole industrial process. I'd be really interested in a home recipe for making authentic Devonshire cream. Clotted cream or mascarpone and raspberry preserves sounds like the perfect scone topping to me. 😋

Great recipe John, especially with the dried apricots, my favorite..I will make them and enjoy them with coffee ☕☕ thnx😊

I’m from the U.K and I’ve always known that America has a different style of scone to us but I’ve never known quite what the difference is. Thank you for explaining the differences so clearly. I love your style of teaching and ( of course ) the great bonus of metric measurements. I look forward to making these scones for breakfast on Sunday.

Scones are so underrated .. these look so goood 🤩. Thanks John 🙏🙌

Maybe I’m the only one, but I absolutely love a dry scone with my coffee. The drier the scone is, the more coffee it will absorb when you take a sip. I usually never eat a scone without coffee, but I may need to try this one.

You may enjoy biscotti even more than dry scones. It is made for absorbing whatever you dip it into - in your case, coffee. :)

I like to freeze/grate/freeze my butter and measure/mix/freeze my dry ingredients as well. Starting with everything as cold as possible helps me get better lamination and minimizes butter leakage 😊

I used this recipe and added chocolate chips. They were ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! the best scones recipe ever !!!!! ♡♡♡ my boyfriend and I devoured them !!!

The key with frozen butter into flour is a food processor. It’s the most perfect thing. Pie crust this way is a winner

"That tastes like a hug", brilliant John! They look "Ahhhhmazing"!

Oh my goodness, I just made these this morning. They are so good John, I made mine with dried cranberries and chopped pecans. This is now going to be my go to recipe. Thanks for sharing.

There's always room for scones fresh baked and still warm...yum, thanks John!

I love scones, they are so easy to make .I always add an egg, use yogurt instead of cream, cut in triangles and I like chopped glace cherries and mixed peel in my scones. I eat 2 with cheese and an apple for tea. They freeze well so they are always fresh and don't need butter. Great recipe thanks John

I've tried your recepy. Reduced the salt to only one teaspoon as I thought: Woopsi, that's too much and why? And substituted the cream for sourcream as I did not have the other one in my fridge. Very nice, very moist scones indeed. They also smelt delicious. Worth remaking again.

Nothing wrong w putting your flour mix bowl in the fridge too. We use raisins a lot, and I found out after getting my new German Shepherd pup that grapes are very toxic to dogs! (Raisins and currants and elderberries too..) Yeah, there’s a compound in it that really damages their kidneys. Keep some activated charcoal tablets in your pantry. Another thing I didn’t suspect is walnuts..not so much the nuts, but you know how that green husk that is around the raw walnut? Well, there’s a certain mold/fungus in that husk that produces a toxin (like the way penicillin gets formed) that also really makes their kidneys fail, and the whole black walnut tree is toxic to them as well..off topic, but, just getting my pup has made me start warning ppl about that because I hadn’t ever heard that before!

Thank you for sharing that. Black walnut is also extremely toxic to horses.

Loved your video! More please!

I’m from England John , and a cook , your recipe is the only one that I kept saying “that’s it” then “that’s it “ perfect video well done

I am from Montreal,Quebec and I discovered your channel on Facebook. I just tried theses scones and they are delicious! I love the way you teach … it’s easy and I learn a lot .. the thing I love, is that the results always look great !i am hooked! I am mostly French but the way you explain, it’s so clear! Thank you !

The cookbook is great! Thanks John!

I make pumpkin scones, but when i just told my hubby you're making apricot, he was like oh wow! I looove apricot! 😂 so i will make these next! Thanks, John

I am born and raised in the deep south, and I would choose a homemade scone over a biscuit every time. Shhhhh, it's our secret!😉

Instead of heavy cream I've made these with whole milk ricotta cheese or sour cream. Both turned out well, with the ricotta I added some lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice.

My daughter pointed out you look like mystery Doug😉 We love watching!!!

I appreciate your videos. Your cookbook is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. TYFS all your knowledge. I cant wait to try this

Lemonade Scones 3.5 Cups of Self-Raising Flour 1 Cup of Thickened Cream 1 Cup of Lemonade As an Aussie, these will make the lightest, fluffiest, most delicious scones you'll ever eat.

Love scones! These look delicious.😋

They look great - definitely will try - thanks John

Your scones are truly the BEST! I have tried recipes for years without being satisfied. I discovered your scone video a year ago, choc chip, blueberry lemon, pumpkin…all of them turned out perfectly and were exactly what I had dreamed of!! Thank you!!

I Love the Buttery Amazing Scones and is so good 💕

Love this recipe and you have such a pleasant way of demonstrating your recipe!

Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week and good month! 👍👏🍴

I agree John, it's necessary to have the butter in chunks = steam = fluffy. You make things look so easy. Thanks for everything ❤

I love scones, hard to find flaky deliciousness fresh baked. Thank you!

John, you never disappoint. I would definitely try this recipe.

Best scones that I have ever made. Your recipe is absolutely perfect. Thank you.

John!!! Gracias por la receta! Quedaron deliciosos! Thank you 🙏🏼 for your recipe. The whole family enjoyed them. They are asking for more already 😊. My daughter was able to follow along with me and she is so proud of herself. God bless you 🧑🏻‍🍳

Love all the things you make and have made many of them. But I scrape out my cups and bowls really well. And I clean my eggs. I take a spork and remove the white globule ends and the connecting line on the yolks. But otherwise I’m right there with you. Thanks. Merry Christmas 🎄

I baked the scones three times with your recipe, all went perfectly, everytime I hit the bull’s eye thanks to you 🥰🌸

I’m convinced, making them, you make it look so easy, 🙏🙏🙏

John I love your cooking!

I did exactly as you described. They turned out unbelievably delicious! Thank you for the recipe!

Baked these wonderful scrumptious scones yesterday. I made some plain fruit ones. I had a lot of visitors yesterday, they went down a treat. I have to say they were the best scones I ever made, just tasted delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe, I will always use it, it's a winner. Mary. Ireland 🇮🇪

I just bought your cookbook and, subsequently, found your channel! I am binging your videos. I just have to say how amazing the cookbook is, it's everything I love about cookbooks but also so much more. You have the sweetest family. I think your personality is very engaging yet calming, your videos give me feel-good vibes, and your food is to die for. You are a wonderful mentor, thank you for keeping your recipes approachable, sophisticated, and unique. I am so excited to make my way through the Pretty Kitchen cookbook. P.S. Your kitchen is my dream 😍!

THEY DO LOOK VERY LUSCIOUS AND FLAKY AND PERFECT THANKS

The bestest BESTEST scone recipe ever. Thank you John 🎉❤

So fantastic. Well done.

I love your channel. Thank you!

Made these this morning. They truly are moist and delicious. Hello Fall, used cranberries and pecans, and sanded the top with fall spices and coarse sugar from my pumpkin spice cookies. Perfect touch!

Those scones look delicious! Definitely I’ll try your recipe. Thank you ❤

Thanks, John. These look great. I'm definitely going to try this recipe over the weekend. 😊

Looks like a good recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I love scones! I was searching for the perfect recipe. These ones look super delicious. I will try it. Thank you for the recipe!

Made them with a mix of raspberries and cranberries, delightful 😊

That looks like the best scone I've ever seen! Thanks!

I love scones, American ones, but was somewhat intimidated about making them. My friend made some last week, gave me one and shared the recipe. I decided to try. They were good, but I knew there were better scones out there. After searching the internet, I found your scone video and recipe. I made a batch today and they were killer! Thank you so much. My husband absolutely ❤❤❤ them too. I look forward to making more of your recipes and purchasing a cookbook or two! Onward to British scones. My HS pen pal from England has promised to share her recipe. I think I’ll try yours first.

Love your recipe and enjoy your video as you get to the presentation without blabbing ;), 5 stars to the taste, the frozen scones fluff up even better. Delicious I have used dates and dried apricots, dried cranberries and fresh blueberries and they are the best. Thank you.

Pecans and apricots!!! ❤. Love your recipes. I’m trying many of your cookies. I know I can count on them now-even if I’m making something first time, even gift cookies.

Thank you John i shall try making these, years ago when i was first married which was a hundred years ago i used to walk over to our local bakery and pick up scones they had i loved them so much and when we moved i stopped eating them, occasionally over the years i have picked them up as a treat, but i have decided i will make my own, i have the time now that i am retired.

Your scone receipe is great! I made it this morning, it's fluffy, not too dry, you can eat directly or eat with butter and jam. yum~~ Thank you!

I love to bake but always look up videos on you tube if I get stuck. I love coming across your vidoes to learn all the tips and tricks to get best results!

Everything you John are Best of Best many thanks God bless you nd your family

Hi John I'm Misty love your videos

I had my first scone as an adult although my grandmother baked American biscuits every morning. I fell in love with scones while staying at a bed and breakfast where fresh scones (both savory and sweet), fresh fruit and French pressed coffee arrived at my door every morning-from Thomas Keller’s bakery in Napa. My favorite was sharp cheddar and bacon. Nowadays, Scones are a regular offering at my table. Thank you for your demonstration.

In Canada, at least in Kemptville, heavy cream is not sold the only thing is whipping cream. BTW i use your recipes only for my baked goods that I sell at the farmers market. Nothing but good things said about these recipes! Thanks!

John, your scones recepies are perfect each time!! Thank you for your wonderful recepies.

The most delicious scones ever!

I love your accent! It’s a high class American accent, so nice to listen to you…

Omg I can't wait to try making my own scones! 😍 Thank you for the tips!

Looks so delicious will have to give it a go .

These look great. Scones are fun since you can personalize the mix-ins to whatever you fancy. For the sugar on top, i use turbanado sugar -- its big and crunchy and perfect.

Our local Jewel supermarket used to have these, and they were simply delicious. Sweet, crumbly, stuffed with blueberries, cranberries or lemon zest, and glazed with a simply confectioner's sugar icing. I say "used to", because they don't carry them anymore. Sad panda, here. 😔

WOW. It turned out amazing. 👍❤

Scones is my favorite food. Thank you for your recipe!

The camera quality (chefs kiss) it’s like we are cooking side by side

Can't wait to try this recipe!!!

Perfect! I was going to make some bread today, but I will do this instead and make extra for the freezer. Thanks for another great video!

The best scone I’ve ever tasted! ❤ However, I had to bake 20 minutes for them to be a golden light brown!

Amazing recipe. I will be trying it. Thanks

I enjoy each and every video of yours. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

I like to grate the butter on the large holes of a grater, directly into the flour mixture. I toss the shards with the flour as I go along so it doesn't clump. Much faster than the pastry cutter method!

Love the American aspect!!!!
