This is a light and flavorful scone. I was never a big scone eater because the ones I have had were like hockey pucks. This one changed my mind.

Wholemeal Fruit Yoghurt Scones

This is an Edmonds Cookbook recipe (New Zealand woman's cooking bible) that I have modified slightly. You can use any type of fruit yoghurt, although stuff with a lot of pips wouldn't be good. Please note that these will not rise as high as regular scones (probably due to the yoghurt & wholemeal flour). -- posted by LilKiwiChicken

Strawberry Jam Scones

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 22:18:48 -0400

For best results, work quickly before the shortening has a chance to warm up and bake the scones immediately to achieve maximum height. For richer scones, use 35% whipping cream and for lighter scones, switch to 10% cream. -- posted by Boyz 5

Traditional English Tea Time Scones With Jam and Cream

Mon, 28 May 2007 20:40:36 -0400

Eat these hot, split & spread with fresh churned butter, fresh cream and homemade jam, preferably strawberry........not forgetting to lick your fingers afterwards - discreetly! These always made an appearance on my Mum and Grandmother's Afternoon Tea Table....it's simply expected my dear! You can also add dried fruit to these to make traditional fruit scones, such as sultanas, currants and raisins; I have added that option in the recipe. The traditional English Cream Tea is very popular in the South West of England, especially in Devon and Cornwall - there you will be offered a pot of tea with fluffy warm scones, butter, cream and strawberry jam. In Devon, you will be served double Devon cream and in Cornwall, you will be offered clotted cream thats the main difference. -- posted by French Tart

Marmalade Scones

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 15:47:18 -0500

I adapted this recipe from my "delicious tea scones" one, after making 3 jars of marmalade which failed to set! It was a great way to use up all that marmalade syrup, in a way which didn't end in the garbage bin. Although I haven't tried it, I am sure any good marmalade would do the trick in the place of "liquid marmalade." -- posted by Lieutenant Ducky

If you don't have buttermilk, just use 1 T. vinegar plus enough milk or soymilk to measure 1 cup (try a fruit infused vinegar for variety!). -- posted by damienducks

These are delicious blueberry scones from Martha Stewart -- no, not my creation. The dough can be very sticky, so I recommend rolling and cutting them on a sheet of parchment paper.

Betty's of York Tea Room Fat Rascals - Fruit Buns/Scones

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:13:56 -0400

When I worked in York, I used to nip down to Betty's of York Tea Rooms in my lunch break and treat myself to one of these delicious buns! Actually, they are a cross between a bun and a scone, and Betty's Fat Rascals differ from some other recipes, as they have whole blanched almonds and glace cherries on top! The origin of the name is unknown, but they are thought to have been made since the mid 19th Century - under the name of Fat Rascals! They originate from Yorkshire and Durham, and are very popular in most bakeries in the North East of England. These tasty fruit and peel buns are wonderful with a cuppa, to take on a picnic or, to tuck into a lunch box for the hungry workers and children! The original recipe uses lard, probably where the word "Fat" comes from - but I am not a lover of lard, so I have specified butter. A poignant historical note: A few years after Bettys opened its doors in York war broke out, and Bettys in particular the basement Bettys Bar became a favourite haunt of thousands of airmen stationed around York. Bettys Mirror, on which many of them engraved their signatures with a diamond pen, remains on display today as a fitting tribute to their bravery, as obviously, some never came back. (NB: I note that a reviewer has said these are NOT Betty's Fat Rascals!! Well of course they aren't, as I don't have the "secret" recipe - but they are a very close match! There are dozens of Fat Rascals recipes throughout Yorkshire, this recipe is as close as you will get outside Betty's Tea Room! Enjoy them as a typical Yorkshire treat, as I still do in France!) -- posted by French Tart

Blueberry Scones (Cook's Illustrated)

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:18:18 -0400

From the Cook's Illustrated Website: It is important to work the dough as little as possiblework quickly and knead and fold the dough only the number of times called for. The butter should be frozen solid before grating. In hot or humid environments, chill the flour mixture and workbowls before use. While the recipe calls for 2 whole sticks of butter, only 10 tablespoons are actually used (see step 1). If fresh berries are unavailable, an equal amount of frozen berries (do not defrost) can be substituted. An equal amount of raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries can be used in place of the blueberries. Cut larger berries into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces before incorporating. Refrigerate or freeze leftover scones, wrapped in foil, in an airtight container. To serve, remove foil and place scones on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven. Heat until warmed through and recrisped, 8 to 10 minutes if refrigerated, 16 to 20 minutes if frozen. See final step for information on making the scone dough in advance. -- posted by senseicheryl

Very English Scones

Sun, 31 May 2009 20:02:15 -0400

Adapted from the Be-Ro home recipes book. As an english person I actually have no idea why scones are considered so British. But these are great with tea, a good breakfast food and look very pretty. You can use a variety of fruit fillings (my favourite is glace cherrys), to be honest I think any dried fruit will work as long as it's chopped to a good size (think around the size of a sultana). Also the recipe calls for 8oz self raising flour but when I made these this morning I used 4oz self raising, 4oz plain and 1 teaspoon baking powder and that worked wonderfully. The salt is optional, you can use margarine or butter and caster sugar is white granulated basically. Handle lightly for best results. It's a versatile recipe, enjoy. -- posted by SallyDe

Kellie's Basic, Go Ahead and Mess With It, Scone Recipe

This recipe started as a Lemon Glazed Scone recipe I found in a locally published recipe book, you know the kind sold as a money raiser with personal recipes from community members. Over the years I have adapted it many times. It has become the basic formula I use to make scones for tea with friends, family gatherings or on those mornings when I wake up and find we are out of bread and cereal. I add whatever I have in the cupboard or fridge. It has never let me down. I encourage you to substitute and add stuff. The basic formula is mix together the dry stuff, cut in the shortening, stir in any lumpy additions then mix in the wet stuff. Have fun with it! -- posted by redplaid huf

Apricot-Citrus Scones

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:21:20 -0400

Based on a recipe from the Starbucks Passion for Coffee cookbook.In its intro it recommends "Use soft, moist dried apricots. If yours are firm and chewy, soak them for 15 minutes in boiling water and drain well. As a counterpoint to the tartness of the dried fruit, choose a full-bodied Indonesian coffee." -- posted by mersaydees

Apple Pear Scones

I love scones, but haven't tried this recipe. My mom clipped it out from a magazine awhile ago. Courtesy Rao's Coffee Roasting Company in Amherst, Massachusetts. Note: I just noticed the 22-28 minute baking time. In my experience with scones, that seems lengthy. I would watch the baking time. -- posted by frozen_rain

Simple Golden Raisin Scones

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:55:04 -0500

This is a recipe that I adapted from one that I found in one of my old cookbooks. It's amazingly easy to make and it tastes so good for being decently low fat. My father (who is British) insists on me making them for him whenever I visit.These are fantastic reheated in the microwave for a few seconds with some whipped cream on the side or spread with butter. Edit: Ahh - I forgot to add the amount of flour needed in the ingredients. Thank you for the review that pointed it out Beansy! -- posted by Pazuru

Buttermilk and Sour Cherry Scones for Afternoon Tea and Picnics

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:23:23 -0500

A delightful and EASY scone recipe that is perfect for a proper afternoon tea or to take on a picnic. Dried sour cherries are sensational and give a deep essence of cherry flavour to these scones, whilst the buttermilk makes them light and airy. This is a casual eating scone, easy to rustle up, and is perfect when eaten fresh from the oven with butter and maybe some cherry jam and cream too! If taking on a picnic, wrap the scone in a clean tea towel to keep it warm and pack the butter and jam separately. Makes one large scone, which is marked to split into wedges when served. -- posted by French Tart
