Your final guide to the perfect English tea scone - All common mistakes corrected

Vy scientific your explaninatioñ. Love your channel. Tq

Good recipe but picking your eye twice and going right back to handling the dough made me feel ill won't be watching anymore of this woman that was disgusting behavior

I remember when "scones" became popular in the USA. I could not understand it. Just a biscuit, so it seemed. Which many Americans ate for breakfast quite a bit, thanks to Bisquick mix.

I have been working on a gluten free cream scone recipe for a couple years now. Everything you mentioned as a mistake mirror my observations. SO glad I found this video, as you are much more knowledgeable on the how and why. Excited to make my next batch. My last one was so runny I ended up just adding more liquid and turning it into a rich muffin (I ran out of my oat flour).

GET TO THE POINT!

YOU TALK TOO MUCH
VERY ANNOYING !

thank you 🎉🎉🎉

It’s almost painful all this explanation 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I could not finish it!

Thank you!!

You talk too
Much

Thank you soooo much for this in depth recipe! I have been struggling with scones for years and getting really frustrated because they just turned out rubbish! I agree, there is nothing like the perfect scone experience! I love that someone else looks at recipes in as much detail as I do and gets the same satisfaction from improving them until they are perfect. Thanks again and much appreciated!

Please….too much talking!

With all those tips on the 'don'ts' and such a long dragging video, I am surprised the end product did not turn out well as perfect scones! I feel Mandy needs more practice!

What was your wet ingredients?

Thank you for all your tips. I will be following them next time I make scones.

Curious if you can put them in the fridge overnight after the first egg wash and bake the next morning?

The way I make mine

I am a true English rose, living in England, about to welcome in our New King... and this has completely sent my head spinning Mandy!!! - in a good way :) I'm going to try them your way and If they're good enough, will be served at a coronation Party in May xx

The solution to the collapsing problem is not to have them spaced too widely on the baking tray. They should be close together, even touching. That forces them upwards, not sideways.

Excellent video, and fun to watch and learn.

It's just a scone

I leave chunks of butter in there and they still come out light and fluffy

lots of explaining & that what makes it so confusing 2 follow sorry 2 say

Thank you Mandy. My ex-wife is a legend at making scones, each identical with that perfect crack around the middle! So you have inspired me to try making them, no pressure!!

Hi Mandy. First attempt making scones. I got 10. A little shorter than yours. I took a photo. Wouldn't let me upload.. Had 1 scone. IT WAS DELISH!

I really really appreciate the explanation and reasoning behind each ingredient and measurement! This kind of thought, detail and time spent making this recipe makes me excited to try it out! Excellent job!

Hi there, everybody! ☺️ I'm gonna try this recipe tomorrow because right now I'm making clotted cream since it needs to sit overnight in the fridge. Plus it's 7pm here in Malaysia so i need to rest tonight hehe. I'll come here and give an update after baking it tomorrow 💕🤗

What you made, although very nice I am sure, is NOT a true scone. A true scone uses self raising flour (or it’s equivalent plain flour with baking powder & salt), a small amount of butter rubbed in completely then enough liquid to form a moist dough. Plus, you should not knead scone dough as that will cause them to be tough. British scones are generally not sweet, and can be plain, made with added fruit or cheese.

Too much sugar!

I was disappointed to see tht you had included in the recipe, an egg! If you have an egg, and yoghurt you have extra rising agents and proberly do not need so much baking powder. Like you, I am still seeking the perfect scone recipe. I am trying to keep away from eggs, which most of the recipes do.

Ok so I just ate one with homemade clotted cream, and homemade strawberry jam. I am in heaven. Best thing I ever ate. This is dangerous stuff. Lol!!

Wow!! They came out perfect!! First time making scones. Beautiful. Thank so much !!!

She just talks and talks and talks .....lady is a scone not micro cellular genetics

Finally! Thank you so very much, Mandy. You explained every little detail and reasons why I failed by not knowing the reason behind it. I will definitely give it a go on my next adventure in making the authentic scones.

Love this!!

Don't you just love it when foreigners point out your mistakes, especially when said foreigner has no idea what they are talking about.

Very thorough but for good reason. They look great. Thank,s for the recipe. I'll try making them.

Love the detail!

Loved the video plus she is a cutie. I have wondered about the difference our American wedge and the Brit scone. Yummy! I like all the detail.

I apologize, but I've looked everywhere, somehow missed: how much butter? I so appreciate your recipe and advice. I am anxious to try to make these! Thank yoU!

Superbly explained English Scone Recipe. Thank you very much. I finally know why I have often felt that scones taste like soap to me. Too much Baking Powder. Who might have guessed. Thank you for also explaining about carefully and properly kneading and cutting. I can't wait to try your ten year experiment very soon. Thank you.

I really appreciate the time, research, and WORK that went into this video. You nailed every crazy myth and wives’ take that was keeping my scones too much like biscuits. I think you may have saved me 5 years here.

No! No! No! The word English should be removed from this recipe. This is definitely not how English scones are made!

OMG! Thank you so much for this recipe Mandy. I tried this recipe and was a success on my 1st attempt and I am not even a good baker.

A lot of thanks, just love your clear explanation

Mine didn’t rise

Sour cream works good too.

wow! now I want to make me some scone!
BY THE WAY, you cracked me up when you said "it just pisses me off" when scone doesn't split in the middle. I'm the same and never though of that little detail was why I get annoyed with eating scones before. Now it all make sense!

Maddy~ You're amazing!! Can you create different recipes for finger sandwiches or pastry too? It'll be a perfect addition to the scones!
