I make hundreds of scones and I have got cunning, you are going to laugh but if I am in a hurry I just spray the end of an oven tray with oil, then cut the dough in one moment, saves using a knife! I find using a cutter makes the sides of the scones dry but if you place them close together on the tray you have nice soft scones and yes I make hundreds and people rave about them.

good tip flora-i read recently you should never use cutters on scone cos they won't rise properly,but people do and they seem to work.

I use a glass but back to your original question #OP, have you tried the $2 shops. We have Sunny's here and they have a lot of bakeware also the Plastic Box has bakeware stuff as well. Just 2 places I have used, other than the obvious.

And if you're very desperate; cut the top and the bottom out of a tin can and use that.

Stevens do a boxed set of plastic ones for around $7-$10, I think there are 6 different sized ones, they come in different shapes too.I bought them to use to make small pies

Cutters work well provided you do just one 'cut' and do not twist them - a straight down and up means the edges are clean cuts and therefore they rise ok.

So you 'cutter' people :-), do you squish the leftovers together and keep cutting! My scones, I push the dough into a rectangle and cut with a knife, so they are squares or rectangles, but all the dough is used at once. I've seen nice round one's and often wondered - over worked scones and all that :-)

I use all left overs. I only make buttermilk scones now and they always remain light, soft and fluffy, they are even good the next day.
