Always Use Self Raising Flour, Baking Powder Taints The Flavour, I Baked Mine In A Muffin Baking Tray, Very Pleased With The Results - Michael Whitaker

Quick, (apart from mixing flour and butter) but that's therapeutic. excellent results every time. My last batch included dried apricots instead of sultanas.

If you haven't got a cutter, you can bake it in a large cake tin instead. Then cook it at a lower heat i.e. Gas 6. For 15 minutes then check a knife comes out clean and cook for a little more time if it doesn't.

I used self raising mostly with a bit of plain and a teaspoon of baking powder. Beware if you have a fan oven. I got them out at 15 mins or they would have been burnt. Rose well and tasted lovely. Also added a small amount of vanilla essence which added to their flavour.

Prepared as by the recipe, result flat scones. They looked great in the oven but deflated. Why !!!
_______________________________________________
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your scones.
I would think it could be a number of reasons; overworked dough, temperature of oven, not cooked through enough or the age of baking powder.
Hope this helps,
Happy Baking!

These came out great for me! I added a little bit more butter to get the right "breadcrumbs" texture and (likely as a result) the dough was a bit wet but it worked out fine once i rolled it out in some flour. I followed some of the recommendations in the comments and baked it at 180 for 15 min. They rose beautifully and tasted perfect.

Great scones! I loved them. Hot and fresh. Amazed how easy it was. Smelled gorgeous. Used a large instead of medium egg and son said they were a bit eggie. I used what we had.

These turn out perfectly for me every time, although I take out after 15 mins in the oven. I prefer using glacé cherries to sultanas, too. I think those people who are saying they are like rock buns or not rising are probably overworking their mixture. Make sure your butter is cold, your finger tips are cold and don’t overflatten the mixture before you cut the scones out. Also don’t twist the cutter. Just cut around the outside of it with a knife. And your scones will rise.

Time given way too long. 10mins at 220degC should do it. That's why folks are complaining they turn out like rock buns!

Absolutely love, love love!! I've never made scones successfully as they usually turn out dry and hard. These are amazing, so light and melt in the mouth. My Nan would be proud of these beauties. I added around 15ml extra milk as the dough didn't pick up all the flour. Thanks for sharing this fantastic, simple recipe

Just follow the recipe and you too will be rewarded with a really nice scone, so much so that even if you're lucky enough to invite the queen to tea even she would exclaim
"I say that's one bloody good scone".😂x
