Making SCONES at The Last Homely House, Mary Berry Recipe (The QUEEN of CAKES!)

  • There is so much written about these very English treats, and so much of it is contentious! Starting with how to pronounce it! Scone rhymes with GONE and not with BONE just to clear that up.
    I used Mary Berry's recipe - The Queen of Cakes - why would you look any further? Here is the link
    www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/te...
    I will not be able to sit outside with afternoon tea for very much longer - this this probably the last time! And John DID call by on his way home so I got to share them with him and Anna.
    Over on Patreon I am getting on with the next ALONG which I am loving as I am making decisions about the design as I progress each week. You'll find cooking, sewing and much chatting over there too - so check the link if you are curious to know more.
    / thelasthomelyhouse
    I will be talking about the shop update soon, meantime there are always books, cards, Bird Kits, and virtual tutorials here
    www.thelasthomelyhouse.co.uk
    One person from the mailing list will win the monthly prize draw, so hop over there and sign up for the chance to win!
    If you make these scones, tag #LHHLGS over on instagram for me to see!
    Take care
    Love
    Kate

    My Mum often made scones for dinner (evening meal) on a Sunday. We would sit down to dishes of jam and cream, butter and other toppings. Sometime she made fruit scones too. She wrapped the scones in a clean teatowel in the centre of the table, and we all dug in and topped with what we wanted. Such fun memories. She also never used a circular cutter. She would just pat out the dough and cut into squares, thus eliminating the need to handle the dough again to make more scones. Her scones never failed.

    Scones are a childhood favorite of mine. As I was growing up in the State of Washington, my family would go to the Sate Fair. As soon as you entered the fair grounds, the mouth-watering aroma of scones would lead you to their booth. The line to purchase one was long. But was it ever worth it! We were only given one scone each, but the scones tasted like heaven. I can't remember the price, but when you bit into your warm scone with butter and jam, your day was complete! Thank you for a lovely afternoon watching you bake scones. They tasted delicious!

    My US Army father used to rave about my English mother's scones [shed died when I was a child so I never knew her]. Anyway, in his later years he talked about them all the time. He said she would put the dough together in a few minutes, pat it with her hands and cook them on the stove in minutes. I made some [baked] scones for him when he was very ill and he liked them. Since he passed about 20 years ago I've tried my hand at scones and also crumpets, which might have been what my mother had made him. Watching the British Baking Show, I've tried some of those, including Mary Berry's version. Watching you make them helps me see how to do it since I'm more of a visual learner. Thank you!!!

    The scones look lovely. In some countries we do not have selfraising flour (i.e. Scandinavia and Finland). I need to use perhaps 4 tsp of raising agent. I have to experiment a bit. I think I'll make some tomorrow. I love British shortbread so I might make some of that, too. Here it is apple season so one can make a lot of lovely stuff, I might put some shredded apple in the scones. I have two old apple trees full of apples. Far to much for one person so I share with the villagers. I wish everybody a lovely Autumn time.

    • @stephanieloffler8566
      @stephanieloffler8566 2 роки тому +1

      That sounds lovely. We do not have selfraising flour in Germany either. Recipes are usually printed with how much raising agent + how much flour. I still did not find a place to buy clotted cream 😔 Apples are wonderful - Love them! Just having apple, fig (fresh, violet ones) and cinnamon jam as breakfast. Tastes like autumn spread on bread 😍 I would offer helping you with the apples, maybe canning, but I guess you live too far away 😉

      Ritva, if you look up on Google "Self Rising Flour Recipe" it will tell you how much baking powder and how much baking soda and salt per cup of flour. Hope this helps. Also there are scone recipes that use plain four and you add your own rising agents.

      @@ritvaljungqvist6666 Well, I always wanted to visit Finland at least once in a lifetime 😄 The Landscape in scandinavia must be breathtaking. Currently we are renovating a house, so we have not been treating ourselves to holiday/vacation for 3 years now. My boyfriend would probably think I'm nuts flying to Finland to can some apples 🤣 So wonderful that two of the trees are still there and carry lots of apples 😍 Maybe I can send some motivation down the Lime Green Sofa to you to tackle the apples 😉

    I learned to cook and bake in my Mom's and my Grandma's kitchens where recipes were rarely used and family favorites came from adding ingredients we all loved. The Be-Ro cookbook reminded me of those days. I still make my Grandma's dumpling "recipe" and add them to my potato soup as a thickener.........Thank you for your comforting videos, Kate.

    My Mum has a Royal Baking powder pamphlet that she collected coupons for in the 1950s. Every year of my childhood and the 27years I am married we make the Christmas cake in it, last year she moved in with us and it was wonderful to make it again with her like I did as a child😋 Looking forward to the next video.

They last a couple of days really well.

    Loved this! So calming and rustic and beautiful. You are always so lovely and kind,and it realy is aa treat to watch your videos.
    Just a side note: Raw Eggs are really bad for cats. They can cause severe foot poisoning,and/or dehidration,Pain,Lethargy and potential organ damage. I always recommend googling if a thing is good for your cat. But most of the time,it is probably not got for them,maybe even poisonous. Cats are way more "fragile" and sensitive than we think.
    (I learned a lot from cat specialists/Psychologists.So this is professional knowledge.

    Good Monday morning Kate from south australia, breakfast with you. Kust a couple of hints when cutting scones have a smalldish with a little bit of flour and between each cut dip cutter in flour and we were taught never twist tje cutter as this drages mixture where a clean cut helps with consistent rise, always add a dash of milk in your egg glaze. I had two cooking teachers one in the country who taught us girls quick methods to cook for shearers and then one at a city school.who was obsessed with hi-tea cooking, my second teacher was in dispare with my methods but the head mistress always chose my finished efforts as the best in class. Kate just a little suggestion this morning you were hard to hear, I noticed your mic was pointing down and was rather low on your pinny strap. But thankyou for the yummy fruit scones on the LGS this morning. I used to make a weeks supply for the elderly couple I cared for, they expected them for morning tea ebery day so would make a batch once a week, with a few extras in case of visitors and freeze the extras heating each morning under a warm grill when I put the kettle on they turned out perfectly just in time to pour the brewed tea, such fond memories. Blessings, still a bit chilly to breakfast outside here but warming up later in the week.

    I still use Marguerite Patten’s recipe if I’m making for the family. If it’s just for me, I’ve worked out a recipe for cheese and chive for one scone, which I cook in my remoska.. 2oz SRFlour, a dash of baking powder, half oz of butter, 75g grated cheese, dash of English mustard powder, a few chives mixed. Same method that kate has shown except use milk instead of egg. (I never put eggs in any of my scone mixes). Ps: you reminded me I have scones in the freezer. 🙏
