subo Why do you mix the egg into butter and liquid with a fork, then change over to a knife for the flour! And do you mix the liquid into another (bigger) bowl where the flour is in!

Hate to admit it but we had a failure by using milk that was purchased from the dairy.They were light & fluffy scones but the milk was too sour.Won't do that again.

I'm so pleased you saw this subo Thanks again, I see plenty of others have enjoyed it in the scone thread. I will be making them this way from now on.

Another tip too. The mixture is quite damp so I cut with a wet knife. Handle with wet fingers and don't knead with flour or flatten down too much.

Easy Peasy Scones I also tried this recipe and found it excellent!Both my hubby and I have never been able to make scones successfully before and were amazed at the outcome using this recipe.My mother-in-law will be proud of me ;-) - K & G.

Thank You. I am not a good cook by any stretch of the imagination - hence my earlier request for unbaked slice recipes in this section BUT I gave the Idiot proof scones a go and lo and behold - something I can bake with success! They are delicious - I won't reveal how many I had for lunch! LOL

Made them today I had no butter, so used about 1/4 cup of oil. They were still really good. Wouldn't know there was no butter. May not keep as well - none left anyway!

I have heard great things about this recipe, but want to know if I can use it as a base for savoury pinwheel scones!

Here it is. (It was katalin2. Sounds great so I saved it.)I have to say I am no scone maker but these are fabulous and easy- will be the only ones I make from now on. Turned them into pinwheel scones by using some of my red pepper/tomato relish which is quite spicy and grated tasty cheese- they were light and fluffy compared to the heavy rock like things I have made in the past. You should start a new thread calling it the best ever scones. Thanks katalin2

Everyone else's seem to have turned out great! I normally follow the Edmonds cookbook for scones and they come out high and light and yum! I thought I'd give this one a go and even though they tasted ok, they were small! I couldn't help but be disappointed! Nothing wrong with ingrdients either, I did other baking that day and things turned out fine! Back to Edmonds ones for me! :)

I made 10 medium subo! Oh well, nevermind! Some things work for some people and some things don't! This one didn't for me! :( Bit of a bugga cause they were so easy to make and they sounded good! :)

These sound great! Will definitely be trying them.I would imagine that it's the egg that makes all the difference to the rising, flavour & texture.Like a pikelet mixture, but much thicker.Yum!

Subo, what brand of self raising flour is a "high quality brand"! Thanks for sharing.I haven't needed to make them yet but plan to.Thank-you Charlie b2 for starting the thread and thereby bringing to my attention-it pays to say "thank-you".
