Easiest Scones ever!

squiggles

Tried these the other day and was amazed the recipe worked so many thanks for sharing it with us.My only problem was they didnt rise much and looked a little like farleys rusks but i think that was due to the temperature of the oven and me opening the door a few times because i was too lazy to turn pc on to find out what temp 180 degrees is for a gas oven.

Hi hope this is in the right place.

My nan lived in chesterfield, i say this because differant areas have differant ideas what a scone should taste like.
She passed away in 1998, she used to always bake scones every saturday, they of course were the best scones anybody has ever made.
What i need is her recipe, these scones were like a heavy doe which used to go hard and crispy on the outside but a crumbly mixture on the inside. Not like the ones you buy in the super market which is more like a bread doe. (sorry mouth watering).
Hope someone can help with the recipe, i think im pregnant as i have a constant urge to bake some of these. (but being a bloke not sure). lol

Many thanks:T:beer:

Hi

Hmm... the bero book recipe might well have been her favourite:- Rich Scones


Failing that it might be a case of trial and error so here are a couple of threads with some alternative recipes...

Just got back from hols with nearly 2 ltrs sour milk!! I intend to make scones and was wondering if to save time I could make them up and freeze the dough uncooked? I have frozen cooked scones before but they don't have that fresh taste when thawed. I am also aiming to cook some off to fill the oven when cooking something else. Can anyone help?
