Brilliant recipe - perfect scones - yum.

Just made these again for the first time in ages and they were so yummy and so quick to do. Took me all of 15 minutes to have them mixed up, cut out and in the oven and cooked ready to eat. We had butter and jam on ours, would of had some whipped cream but I used all I had to make the scones.
5/5 for this recipe.

Yum.  It took longer to preheat the oven, than to make and get them onto the baking tray.  This recipe has now been printed and in my to keep folder.  Thanks

That's great to hear everyone! I have only used crasins and tanas too but maybe if the berry were frozen berries it might worrk - let us know if you do it!

This is one ridiculously easy recipe - I love it. From start to eating is 15mins! I use UHT cream as its always in my pantry, so I know I will always have the ingredients. I have struggled with scones in the past, but no longer!!!?? I cut out with the m/c, well floured and reformed leftovers to make 12. I put them close together on a tray so I can pull apart when cooked. I will experiment with sultanas, craisins and some savoury combinations.  Great, thanks for posting.

I think what I love the best is its a recipe where almost the less mixing you do the better. It really does need to be JUUUUST. Combined, take out . Cut. And cook. Love it!

Delicious recipe thanks Nay Nay.. One thing that might be of interest is I tweaked the recipe to incorporate a tip from Paul Hollywood (Master UK baker and judge on Geat British Bake off) and that is to use 500g strong bread flour, to which you add 5 tsp of baking powder. His point is a he doesn't trust commercial self raising flours to have the oomph he wants - and the bread flour gives you a stronger base from which to 'puff up' . He used a more techical term - but hopefully you understand what I mean!  This combination worked incredibly well for big blousey scones - not delicate little hotel ones.. I also used creme fraiche instead of cream, as only had creme fraiche and that also worked fine.

These are fab.  Annie Smithers has the same recipe in her new book, only she use 650 of flour.  I made 13 large ones and they are great toasted.  Thanks Nay Nay
