i have used the same method for scones for years. what i found is that as much as i liked making scones i would sometimes put it off or change plans because grating frozen butter annoyed me. so that i can more quickly make a batch, i grate from-the-fridge sticks of butter, usually four. i freeze each grated stick individually so that the process comes together faster when the family gets a craving for scones.
I just came back from traveling in Ireland, and my husband kept reminiscing about the fresh scones we had on one of the farms and in other places. I'm a pretty experienced baker, but I had never made scones before. These were simply outstanding. I didn't have self-rising flour, so I followed your instructions to make some. I also replaced the raisins with craisins. I needed a bit less liquid, but that's normal since we have pretty high humidity in Florida. Thank you for this recipe. My husband loved it too!
I made the Irish soda bread recipe from your channel and it was wonderful. It’s been awhile since I’ve made scones, but used your recipe and once again amazing 😉. Thank you for the long lost recipes I enjoyed growing up so much 💕
Found out I’m Irish on both sides and now I know why St. Patrick’s Day has always meant a lot to me. I’ll be celebrating this year by attending a local Parade and making Corned Beef and Cabbage (as I do every year) and now these Scones. Absolutely perfect! Happy St. Patrick’s Day 💚! Thank you for all these beautiful videos.
Besides my family, scones are what I miss the most about Northern Ireland! I have tried several recipes and they have never lived up to the true “Irish” scone taste. This recipe most certainly did! Thank you!! As well, your direction and tip were dead on. I’m an instant fan and have now subscribed to your channel. I look forward to binge watching your vlogs. Haha
Hi Gemma, my husband and I have never eaten scones, so we thought we'd give it a try with scones I bought at the supermarket. Well, lets just say we were not enthusiastic about them. So I tried your recipe and wow they are delicious! My husband came home from work as I took the scones out of the oven, so he could dig in immediately! He loved them and said that it adding nything to it like jam or butter was necessary: they were fluffy (not too fluffy), sweet but not too sweet and the toplayer was crunchy because of the milk/egg trick you showed us! Thank you very much, Gemma. I am on to more bigger and bolder baking!
So i have my finals this summer ... once i'm done with those,i'll DEFINITELY get baking,you've been such an inspiration Gemma and it reallllyyyyy makes me grow up to be a successful baker! :) Just like you.
Ive never eaten any before, I'll hve to make these they looked so darn good. Thank you for sharing your recipe and a little of your history always enjoyable to hear.
Hi Gemma! I've just took out of the oven my first scones ever: they're gorgeous. The smell in my kitchen would make even a rock hungry! Thanks a lot for your great recipe, 100% "best ever"!
I always wondered what they do with the left over egg that they used to brush the product with. Saving the little bit and putting it on the scones makes a lot of sense. Will try it for other recipes too. Thanks.
You are the best teacher for me ma'am.. I actually learned lots of things and recipes from you.. thank you sooo much .. I love Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking 👌🏻👌🏻👍❤️🙂
Im kiwi born and Love St Patrick's day and all that comes with it. Some of my other fav scones are pumpkin and also cheese Mmmmmm👍 Now it's winter I will make some for tea. Thanks for sharing
I also use my food processor, as I've never liked rubbing butter into flour. In addition, if am making plain scones I add most of the liquid and carefully pulse until the dough just comes together. The whole process is so fast I usually end making two or three batches. So lots of light and fluffy scones for freezing! Yum-yum!!
I love making scones I usually make mine with cranberries, orange zest and ginger , strawberries, blackberries or raspberries. Your right on with the frozen butter for pastry and baking some goodies.
lovely Gemma... I'm from India and it's summer time yesterday I prepair popsicles yyaaayyiii.. that recipe was amazing.. I'm going to try this one too... thank you and keep going.... love love...
Hi Gemma, I tried making them and they turned out absolutely perfect! Hv tried many scones recipes in the past and they always turned out rock hard or failed to rise for some reason. Your irish scone recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing it.
Olá Gemma!!! I am soooooooo happy that your Crazy Dough recipe for cheese bread was the first very time that I baked a bread and worked very well!!! Thank you sooooooo much!! I am very bad at backing and I feel soooooo proud!!! Thank you soooooo much!!! You make baking seams easy 😘
I was so tempted to buy scones with cranberries today, but I thought there were too expensive and I can make them myself. I come home and what do I see? New scones recipe from Gemma! Love it!!!!!
Hi Gemma, I also was born in Ireland. Watching this video made me so homesick for Ireland. I have lots of memories of my mom and grandma making scones and sodabread in my nana’s. Kitchen. Thanks Joy
Wow!!! Baked these this morning with the leftover liquid from my first-ever clotted cream. Unbelievable! What a great recipe!!! Thank you so much! Stayed true with "the claw!"
Thanks a million! Really glad you liked this recipe and good to have you with us. :)If you'd like more Irish recipes, I have some up on BiggerBolderBaking.com!
Hi Gemma! I just made a half recipe today, a day before St. Patrick's Day. Grating the butter is genius! And your tips about making my own self-rising flour and not overworking the dough were so helpful. I had to have one when it was still warm, and it was a bit crumbly but oh, so crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Next time I will make a full recipe and freeze some. Love your videos and recipes - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for teaching how to bake so many amazing things with such simplicity, Gemma. It's because of you that I'm finally learning to master baking after avoiding it for 30 years. I couldn't be happier! God bless....
+Gemma Stafford I will NEVER buy another scone!! This recipe is it!! I am so impressed with the results, and can't believe that I made these, they are incredible!
Thank you Gemma for this wonderful recipe. It's the simplest recipe for the best scones. Whenever I try this, it is a complete success.😊 May The Almighty be with you and bless your journey. You have mentioned that we can freeze the uncooked scones after cutting out. How long can we freeze them ? Thanks in advance 🙏
What an interesting scone recipe.... A tip I know with making scones. Do not twist the cutter as you cut the scones. Just press in and out. For some reason scones rise more doing this and are even fluffier as you are not working the dough more.
Hi Gemma tried ur scones recipe it is really great..... Turned out really well... My kids enjoyed the most... Thank you for sharing the best recipe.... So kind of you... Though by profession u r a chef but really won a million hearts
Made these today and they were delicious! Gemma clarified about the flour in the comments on her website, so for anyone wondering, do NOT add more baking powder if you are already making your own self rising flour. For the 680g of plain flour you just add 4tbsp and 1/3 tsp of baking powder, total. Also, she doesn’t mention salt but I think a bit of salt should be added to the mix
Hi. It must have been an oversight on my part. However, to clarify, this recipe does use self raising flour (store bought or homemade) and a separate amount of baking powder. Baking powder is a very important raising agent for this recipe since it leavens the whole recipe mixture instead of just flour. Therefore, with all other heavy ingredients involved, it’s necessary to use a lot of baking powder to give the scones a decent rise. You can reduce it but your results will be denser. Hope this helps.
Your recipes are THE BEST! I followed your scone recipe and the taste was amazingggg! Last week, I made banana bread and followed your instructions completely and guess what, it turned out to be the best banana bread i’ve tasted! Thanks Gemma ❤️
Wonderful to hear from you, Jonny! The grated butter is definitely a game changer. Thanks so much for being with us, and hope you are doing just as well! Happy St. Patrick's Day :)
I don't know how you could improve on the original because they were fantastic, but these are making my stomach growl! I grated the butter just like you showed with your original scones, it's genius!💖☘☘☘
Thank you for this great recipe...I am from Scotland originally and have never mastered scone baking. The sconess I baked this morning were perfection😃
Store bought is just fine, but I have a recipe for self raising flour here: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-self-raising-flour/ :) Thanks for being with us!
You have the best recipes 😍these are so delicious .. I switched out the raisins with dried cherries yummy .. I have also used dried apricots and cranberries ❤️
Okay I have a ques. Is it sconn or scown? I grew up saying scown but as an adult people have told me I was saying it wrong all those time and corrected me with sconn. I googled few years back and seemed like at the time, everyone and their mother, on the net, came with pretty much the same consensus, should be pronounced as sconn. And here my beloved master baker Gemma is saying it the way I said it as a kid. So, which is the correct pronunciation?
No words can describe how beautiful and delicious these sound!😗👌👍😘😱😰love you Gemma!😉♥️do you by any chance gave any tips for me while baking/cooking I'm 13 and love doing it but my cousin is vegqn so she can't eat alot of my food...🤔
Hi Amy! Thanks for reaching out and for being with us, Bold Baker. You can find a lot of Baking Basics on BiggerBolderBaking.com and I also have vegan recipes you and your cousin can make together. You'll be set in no time :)
Also could you maybe do a video on food's from other countries? I think that would be lots of fun. And thank you for that advice ! Very helpful thank you!♥️
Gemma,I love the Irish music and I am watching your Irish scone video.I have never tasted a scone or made a scone before so I am going to make your Irish scone soon
These scones look so delicious I'm not Irish but I agree with your theory a cup of tea needs a scone. I like drinking chai tea or coffee, and tea also I can see my self eating these. with any of those drinks mentioned above. Thank you for this recipe I'm going to give it a try.
I'm from Pakistan this recipe is very nice inshaAllah I will make it for my kids school lunch boxes
Light & fluffy what a fabulous recipe ! I divided the dough into three batches, plain, raisin and dried apricots. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you x
Well done, you!

I made these for St. Patrick's day my kids loved them with chocolate chips. Frozen butter was a great tip.
Love hearing about your childhood! Also love learning about Irish cuisine. Would love to see more of that.

Nothing like a proper scone!

Gemma' in addition to the sultanas, I add a good tbsp of chia seeds, please give that combination a try it’s delicious 😋
Thanks for sharing!
My Welsh mother in law swears they are Welsh scones hahaha, but very delicious!
Gemma,I love the Irish music and I am watching your Irish scone video.I have never tasted a scone or made a scone before so I am going to make your Irish scone soon
Go for it, Kim!
I ♡ scones!
You'll love these! Thanks a million
These scones look so delicious I'm not Irish but I agree with your theory a cup of tea needs a scone. I like drinking chai tea or coffee, and tea also I can see my self eating these. with any of those drinks mentioned above. Thank you for this recipe I'm going to give it a try.
