    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.

    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.

    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. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

    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.

  • @matthewrick

    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 😊

    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.

    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 ❤

    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.

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.

    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. 😋

    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.

    Lemon zest works too

    I’ve made these several times since I first saw this post, I use lemon zest and blueberries. That are delicious and addictive ❤
