Food Wishes Recipes - How to Make Scones - Classic Scottish Scones Recipe

[ThaaSpecialK]

i'm embarrassed at how hard i laughed at "Sconehenge"

[EdjeBos]

'as nervous as you can get making skones'. He ís funny! Keep it up John!!

[stephiskhan]

omg sconehenge. i can't even. too good.

[munkrock99]

I'm british and i think you NAILED the scones, perfectly explained and actually very precise :D

[strawberry319]

AHAHAHAHHAH SCONE-HENGE xD i literally busted out like a hyena on crack after hearing that, not even sure why xD

[thebillyboombox]

Tried the recipe and "LOVED THEM" very tasty and even flaky... Served with some "Americano" drip coffee from Starbucks and BAM!!!! You got perfection!

[theliberator1]

that's not a scone THIS  is a scone! /watch?v=77gvAn-fBIk

[TheSoccerShots]

When there's nothing good on Food Network, there's ALWAYS Chef John :') .

[MrSkinnyBill]

Both pronunciations are correct, but the actual rule on pronunciation is:

singular: "scown" "One Scone"

plural: "sgones" "Many Scones"

[greent44]

what does it mean by split eights?

[greent44]

Thanks for your vedio! It's the first time I made a scone sucessfully! x

[hozukixue]

mfw you say "tri-force" at 2:02

mfw you meant "tri-fold" after I rewatched it a couple moar times.

[jbooks888]

@hozukixue you said 'a couple moar times' but you meant 'a couple MORE times'  :-)

[88yasminoucha]

I love you chef John!! your the funniest! =D

[MalkavianHand]

Clotted cream: Thick, creme-fraiche like stuff with salt added. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

[thesilentviolin]

scone-making community. hahaha!!

[Yeah82666]

Awesome video! Thanks for this.

[TheChocolateColumbo]

i keep watching your videos yet i have nothing to eat. im about to start chewing on myself

[starcatcher72]

hey chef john, i am a little skittish to put scones in a 400 degree oven, even for 15 minutes, in my oven, my scones burned to a crisp in about 5 mins. i know that we all have different ovens, but i was wondering on your input. sorry if this was anwsered before!

[Fufudesu]

@starcatcher72 Is your oven using farehneit degree or celcius? Might be because of that

[NitroNein]

thats because scones are dry like english humour

[LIONGATE83]

it look so easy....

i'm gonna try to make it my self.

[ryuu901]

When I was younger, I lived in england(yes england, not scotland) for a year and had scones for breakfast everyday and HATED them. All I remember was how dry and hard they were for some reason. Chef John, you have forever changed my scone experience and I may just eat these everyday.

[megustaverlas]

You make me hungry at midnight!

[NinStar09]

I alrdy know how to make this but good vide0 + you can also have cheese instead of fruits

[PumpkinMozie]

hahaha I subscribed because you gave me a delicious-sounding recipe AND made me laugh. A lot. :)

[hotkonto]

How is it possible to click "dislike" on any of Chef John's videos?

[VampirePrincessFaye]

Scones are english aren't they?

And i say it the way you said it first and i'm english

:P the way scone is pronounced ALWAYS makes a debate here in england.... clearly we're boring.

[sbarry92]

Scones are scottish :O awesome something else to add to my list of favourite things lol

[bowler8]

You said you were going to tell us why you add the fruit early and not at the end...but you didn't

[spudo303]

@bowler8 he said that if you read it on his blog... the blog is your saviour! (:

[bowler8]

They look delicious...from a brit

[Layna8]

What are the measurements for each ingredient, thanks?

couldn't find any measurements for anything on the site.

Layna.

[m00shim]

I feel strangely aroused when I watch this.

[streetwhereulive]

One rule of thumb here, if I may. When working with dough, you will hear it said not to over work the dough. Now, you did well with the fold, but to get ANY dough to rise you must work the dough a bit to give it structure. The problem comes with adding too much flour. furn it about 4-6 times and then add the flour before you roll it. Baking powder will make it rise but without some gluten production, you'll have a flat gummy mess. If too much flour is incorperated you'll truly have Stone Hinge

[SpeakaDaEnglish]

He's funny, and those look delicious. yum

[MoondustWolf]

"Sconehenge" is fantastic. Can't wait to make these!

[Sydisney]

I randomly laugh when I remember your Scone Henge comment! Love it.

[oOTaeOo]

I always talk about having tea and scones, but I've never actually had em! So I finally made em this evening! I used blueberries and tossed on a lemon glaze but used your methods! SOO easy to make and delicious! Thanks :D Your videos make people think I'm pro ^_~ lol

[gymbee263]

There's a place called Scone Palace..lol :)

[ContradictoryLilac]

can you put blueberries instead of the other stuff?

[bbrofl]

just a little tip, you should bunch the scones one against the other before you bake them so when they cook they bunch together and you rip them apart when they are done :)

[kleenexz]

ooh.... i wanna scone now!!

[TheFatfatfish]

I've watched about five video clips before I actually baked my own scones. This clip is the best. I totally recommend it!

[cutedogrl]

@chefscook u have to go to foodwishes(dot)com to see the ingredients

[whydoihavetocry]

ooooohhhhh you said sconnnnnnnnnnne!

[TheVittleVlog]

Looks great!!!!

[StarleePie47]

Scones are my favorite food ever!

[chefscook]

amounts of ings. are not included in recipe what are they

[ReinaTitah]

MMHH I love cook men...........

I also love scones !!! My last try went so bad that I almost broke a tooth trying to eating them

[jessiemoi]

That has seriously made my day!

[turtlepincher]

OMG!! I LOVE this guy!!!!!! haha and the scones looks nice ..

[inthepresentraw]

Do you use pastry flour?

[R0FLtaco]

hahahahhahahaha the blackjack joke was awesome

[oOnitroduckOo]

HUNGRY!!!!HUNGRYYYYY!!!!

[Mossopp101]

Scones are best served warm, with clotted cream on top, with strawberry or raspberry jam ontop of that! Trust us scottish to find a fattening way to make something already fattening worse :p dont use marmalade :)

[TheSteelEYE]

stay away from scones, you really messed them up! Maybe you should be a stand up comedian instead of a cook.

[sharos404]

The tri-fold obviously works,

your food is so perfect.

[CarlyC1988]

Omg, I just found these videos today and I've watched so many already. I am a personal chef and caterer, and even though I know most of these techniques I love these videos. Better than anything on the Food Network. You rock!!

[shaziest2000]

He is frickkin' hilarious my gawd! And everything looks really good and easy :)

[BlessedWifeNMom]

My daughter and I really enjoy your videos Chef John! Keep up the great work!

[barkpeeler2000]

scones are awesome

[minielephant123]

is clotted cream cottage cheese?

[knallbuntundgelb]

Where can i get on of those doughblenders?

[daprincekissedme]

i hope I can cook as good as you .... : D

[NeoFalcon69]

What is the difference between a scone and an American biscuit?

[tasha23here]

you're so funny!  :P

[16181663]

"like many of my theoyes i can't prove it" LOL i love ur humor

[SuddenSparkles]

As always I did enjoy and Cher Chef, you read minds... just yesterday I put heavy cream on my food shop list to make scones... because I miss my good friend from England Jane who always makes the best scones of all... and everything she touches turns to gold because she does it with love... unlike the Midas touch, you can eat the gold she makes! have fun in vegas... split thoze ates!

[tojive77]

yes i love his voice too. It makes you listen. I LOVE his humor! Hes great! He makes everything easy!! Chef John, Go on Top Chef!!!

[WI11YPOON]

i love it how he has theories but he cant prove them haha

[TartanLassie5]

This recipe is great. It is very similar to the scottish rock cakes. The scottish scones are normally plain or savoury in a circle or triangle form. I have never had them with fruit but they are nice sliced through the middle and spread with butter. Do you have a brew going (tea?). I am hungrey....

[melissa61436]

love it love it love it !!! :)

[elarhy]

Thank you so much¡¡¡¡, i have seen a lot of recipies, but they either need a lot more ingredients i didnt have, or made a lot of scones and my oven is rather small. But this recipe is perfect¡, i can even bake them in the oven-toaster fixture, and they came out great¡.

[rangzsaroso]

yesterday I've made these and the result are totally good..!! thanks for the recipe..!! hehheee.. after yesterday result now I'm gonna try to make some variation from the recipe nyam nyam mmmmmm...

[ToshiroDK]

lol... sconehenge.. you kill me man :D

[Uberubert99]

I think I'm gonna attempt making these now. I hope the sour cream isnt too important, because I don't have any.

[omegahpla]

@Uberubert99 GO GET SOME! If you want great follow this guys recipes, if not it's a serious deprivement you perpetrate on yourself.

[angusMCjamison]

mmmmmmm

[AbstractMan23]

chef john has the coolest voice on youtube.

why use ice cold butter?

find it hard to believe a chef as pro as chef john has never made scones before...? mmmm strange.

[Sizzy84]

I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THESE! The other tutoraisl always make them triangles!

[NYLaw411]

can you cut in the cold butter in the food processor?

[ilikethewok]

Fantastic video Chef John!! Thx so much.

[paologreen]

Thanks for heeding the scone requests, Chef John. Great tutorial as always!

[perdantasterx]

a cranberry butter would be fabbbb with these :)

[ivanyhtang]

awesome video again chef john! i thoroughly enjoy scones. i understand the baking powder helps it to rise but can you make it without baking powder? does any one know?

[goddesselppy]

LOL, Sconehenge.

[philbx1]

'Scons' mate! That's our Aussie pronounciation also. 'Scones' sounds like a sort of skin problem or something, like 'Arr, the poor wee laddy had scones all over his arms' :-)

BTW, the wife of one of our previous state leader's (as well as being a senator) was famous for her Pumpkin scones. Ref. Florence Bjelke-Petersen

Thanks much again John.

[cynda99]

@philbx1 ...LOL

[Mydogkoko1]

I am going to try the recipe

[BFAMallday]

Im about to impress my girlfriend with these videos. I love it.

[quegrandes]

Definitely loled at the Sconehenge comment.

[Georgespooh]

Your videos are great! Keepem coming.

[txsphere]

Scone henge! I love it.

[erikamavrich]

@txsphere hahaahha u made my laugh today!

[thebeggarqueen]

@txsphere But where was the rim shot you sometimes hear whenever Chef John makes one of his quips? 'Sconehenge' surely merited it!

[fulongfromthegrave]

I always thought scones were very dry and 'crumbly'... I definitely giving those a try! Thanks again, Chef!

[morganmay1]

Very much like our biscuits here in Appalachia, only with currants. The demo vid shows how simple it is to make this traditional treat.

[umbrellapropeller]

These look yummmmy, I'll definitely have to give these a try :d

[samjones0528]

look nice. ginger scones are the best!

[nishbrown]

i think "very moist" is incorrect. All the scones I've had were pretty dry.

Not Biscotti-like, but dry.

[liamvernon]

Heyy chef john, yeah down here in england we call them scones aswell its pronounced (sk-onz) with the z being like the french onze.

[mellington88]

I'm from Scotland but I've never seen scones look as nice as they do! Maybe you can try making some haggis, neeps and tatties next. haha! Love your video's Chef John! :-)

[shakitty1]

ooh sounds yummy

[mende75]

great demonstration. I'm a huge fan. can you make House Special Pork Chops? Thanks.

[jeremykyleftw]

no offence, but scones are suppose to be round :P

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

It can be any shape. What difference does it make anyway? Geez...

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose because im scottish!!

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

But the person making it is American! Do you make Italian pasta correctly in Scottland? Do you make Sushi correctly in Scottland? NO! People may change they way they cook a foreign dish and it's TOTALLY ok. Seriously, it's ridiculous to complain about these things.

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose of course we do, we have many people from italy living in scotland, who actually do come from italy due to both being in europe, and not your american usual of 'my great great great grandfather was italian' and btw its 'scotland' only one t my dear, you americans never learn do you? :)

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw Get over yourself and stop being an ass. At least we have various dishes. You live eating scones. LOL

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose what various dishes? twinkies and cheeseburgers?

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

Hahaha. A typical ignorant teen unaware of outside cultures. LOL

Cheeseburgers are everywhere. There are Mcdonalds on every continent. It doesn't mean the whole population eats it. Stupid. What do you eat besides scones anyway? haha.

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose who is an ignorant teen? must be you because i'm not a teenager. sorry ellelesrose, america, and people like you are unaware of peoples outside cultures, I know this due to the fact of meeting many americans, how many people from the UK have you met? and why do you keep repeating yourself with scones? is it because you dont know any other UK cuisine? I'm actually lost in what your point is.I didn't mention mcdonalds anyway, I said cheeseburgers. *end of discussion*

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

I've lived and traveled all over the world silly. I'm the one lost in what YOUR point is. You don't allow other shapes for scones. Don't ignore what you said in the beginning. I have a cousin who is married to a Brit by the way. They never said I had to make round scones. Don't be such a douchebag.

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose why are you starting with profanities? you're the one who started being all defensive at the start. I'm sure I believe you when it comes to living around the world, well I think it's utter nonsense. scones should be round. well done to your cousin I'm really happy for her, now go and carry on with your pathetic american dream of being the most dumbest nation in the planet.

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

Dumbest nation in the world created youtube and you are watching a video on youtube. Your hostility is more towards the US and not this scone video haha. Go vent on a political video dude. This is no place for haters like you. Don't even bother to create an account on youtube if you think it's made by the dumbest nation in the world.

[jeremykyleftw]

@ellelesrose a british man invented the first web browser, so no web browser = no youtube :)

[ellelesrose]

@jeremykyleftw

That doesn't explain your hostility towards the "dumbest nation in the planet". Dude, no excuses please. haha.

[birdy241]

@jeremykyleftw if your gunna play that way america created the internet so, no internet = no web browser. lul's

[mvbeckril]

@jeremykyleftw "IN" the planet? Learn to spell and type you illiterate dumb fuckin' kid... You're simply pathetic!

[notlikecrazii]

@jeremykyleftw

Hate to break it to ya, but every nation has their batch of idiots. Not sure why you're so anti-american, or what your prejudices are doing in a video about scones......but okay....

Anyway, those scones look yummy...may try with blueberries...not really a current girl...

[arose4lee]

They look very neat Chef John! I love scones! Thanks for posting!!

[junkybox]

Clotted Cream with scones are the besssst!!!!!!!! I think they are also known as devonshire cream... hmmm correct me if i'm wrong..

[arose4lee]

@junkybox totally agree with you. LOVE CLOTTED CREAM.

[KindlyKickRocks]

Seriously, your videos have a hunger effect on me. Not to mention your voice is like that cool, soothing, Morgan Freeman type.

[secretwmp]

@KindlyKickRocks I know... exactly my feeling

[towerguarder]

@KindlyKickRocks haha yea his voice does sound like a white morgan freeman.. wish i had a cool voice like that

[darkroge]

he let all the air out of them by patting it

[tab289]

Amazing! Yet again!

[oflindentrees]

mmmm scones!! I love scones! this is a great recipe Chef John.

I would love to see a really good tomato basil soup recipe from you...I'm trying to make a really great one and I know yours would be the best!

[UmmHamza2112]

I made them a couple of weeks ago with walnuts and dates instead of currents and sprinkeld them with sugar and cinnamon....they are indeed delicious!! :) I love your recipes!! Keep them coming!

[candyflipdhippy]

i demand scone hedge..... luv your vids ALOT

[TheVittleVlog]

Super!

[sweettee5868]

I just don't know why I keep watching your videos! You always get me hungry!! Maybe it's your sexy voice! Not sure, but wow looks yummy! : P

[fezan84]

Chef John -- I don't know if you'll see this since you get 800 million comments, but I recently saw Alton Brown actually grate ice-cold butter into his dough. It was for a mincemeat pie crust. Does that work with your biscuit and scone doughs too? I thought it was interesting and might be easier for those who don't have a pastry cutter.

[xdeathisrighttherex]

@fezan84 I saw that episode tonight, oh how I love sweeny todd :P, And sorry for butting in, but I teach an intro to pastry class, and both methods are perfect, as long as you have a crumb consistency and use frozen butter, it will come out perfectly.

:)

[fezan84]

@xdeathisrighttherex Haha yeap it was the episode from earlier tonight =D -- thanks a lot for your help! It really does seem like an excellent way to get very consistent butter bits throughout.

[steffspms]

sconehenge LMFAO

[princessmanner1]

Yummy!

[737Pilot122]

Scon? I think your making that up just like guuneaaakey instead of gnocchi

[737Pilot122]

@737Pilot122 I know, I spelled you're wrong

[troglodyte3344]

clotted cream.... hmmmm !

[jlite]

and as always....enjoy <----love that!!!! XD

[malyssadeanne]

make a red velvet cake! or cupcake pleeeeeeeeease (:

[wildshorty902]

Sconehenge. Hehe.

[vlr61]

Love all your videos. Thanks for all the time you spend making them.

[TheBellaTenenbaum]

Bahahaaa Sconehenge...

[sesapotsky]

love it

[Beachdudeca]

after you mix the dough in the bowl and put it on the board , don't pat them down like that just form it gently into a rough shape and cut them , the result will be a much lighter scone , also , for best results when you cut the scones if you can see visible bits of butter then you did it right.

[aceey2]

Glass Candy request?

By the way I love how easy to follow your videos are, they're GREAT!

[rocksage2]

mmmm... scones and marmalade jam. good stuff.

[MistaNoName]

lol i like how honest you were about making the stone hedge LOL

[jessebell911]

great video this recipe reminds me of when if my cafe class a kids was making cheese scones and he was taking them out and her DROPED THEM we were so shock/sad cause the cheese scones we make are the BEST!

[Shiaine]

Clotted cream is nothing more than whipped cream...in Britain they serves the scones with the cream and jam between the two halves, the jam in the center, then the cream around it, mmmmmmmmm! Yummy!

[sekhmet2003]

@Shiaine Clotted cream is not whipped cream. It's made by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms clots.

[Shiaine]

@sekhmet2003 Thanks for setting me straight! :)

[colossusbeam]

hahhahah scone hedge!!

[McPrfctday]

All you need now is some cream, jam and some nice breakfast tea. Clotted cream is like natural cream... from fresh milk... but you know that really. Scone Henge! genius! I'm gonna make one!

[Maxx908]

i literally laughed out loud at the scone henge bit. i love your little jokes

[pboyski]

when and where can i see you chef here in vegas?

[Xelotz]

I Normally get the ones with jam and cream inside ;)

[Bonstergirl]

"Scone Henge"! I love it!

[krimzonvillain]

Scone-henge. Hahahahaha

[ARabidPigeon]

The British are upset. You've released the secret of their teatime treat. I expect us to go to war very soon. Thanks Chef John

[XjennydontbehastyX]

Och no, I say it like 'scoane'! Top notch, once again Chef John.
