Plain Scones

Standard

First time making scones! But I was getting desperate for gluten free scones! The scones tasted good but flat as I didn’t measure properly the thickness. I’ll remember next time. I made 6 scones out of the recipe but maybe should have aimed for 4. I used almond milk and diary free spread. Will make again soon!

These are super easy to make and are delicious! I only wonder if there's a typo regarding the baking powder (is it not too much?) as I could taste the baking powder in my scones. Apart from that they were lovely. Thanks for this easy recipe.

Delighted with the results, used plant based marg and soya milk, so vegan friendly too. Will add some vanilla next time to mask the baking powder after taste.

I have made these with plain gluten free plus 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum sweet & savoury I add roughly 3 tablespoons grated strong cheese plus parmigiana reggiano this gives it extra taste then I serve with cream cheese & fig chutney or of your choice.

What an excellent result! I made two batches of eight, first batch rose perfectly, the 2nd batch I left the mixture a little softer and the spread a bit more but the texture and flavour of both batches were first class. served with strawberry conserve and clotted cream. Lots of compliments from all with some "best scones ever" comments. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Like someone else fancied a scone for afternoon tea but alas no self raising flour. This recipe worked well,produced 8 scones p!us one straggler to be "checked" straight out the oven. Quick easy and great result

Incredible recipe, add vanilla extract and its perfect! 

First time using this recipe as I normally use the recipe from my 90s dairy cookery book but I didn’t have any self raising flour left. Well I can honestly say this recipe was perfect!! The dough came together beautifully, they tasted perfect! This is my new recipe for any future scone baking. Thank you!

I made these for VE Day. Absolutely perfect.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I made these and they were delicious. I was surprised I made something taste so good! My dough only made 4 scones, not sure what happened there, however I will most definitely be making these again.

I made these today for the first time, I did vary the recipe and used Greek yogurt instead of milk. The colour , texture and taste were excellent, but the rise was disappointing. I will attempt another batch soon to go with my homemade strawberry

They did not go to plan... They smell amazing, but the dough was way to wet and runny. I'll try again, but I don't know where I went wrong...

We were delighted with these scones.
It's a long time since I made scones but it won't be as long again. A very simple and easy recipe with 'cupboard ingredients' which produces excellent results.
