Hi Karen! I have not made it with cheese but you would just want to follow the instructions in step 6 to do so. You shouldn’t have any issues. 🙂

Love this recipe. I add a tablespoon of lemon juice and it seems to make them more tender.

I’ve used your scone recipe twice and both times I needed to add extra cream to bring the dough together in the food processor. I was also surprised by how little they rose. That being said they really are delicious.

Mine don’t come together in the food processor like they do on her video. I spoon and level my flour carefully. I use a bit more than a 1/2 cup cream. Dough comes together by hand on my pastry mat with a little work. I make my disk and put in the freezer about 15 minutes before slicing and baking

Hi Joanne! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them! Do they spread a lot with a cup of cream in them? Are you weighing your flour?

These are so good and have made several times but I am wondering why only 1/2 cup cream as I have had to add at least a cup to get dough to come together. Am I doing something wrong?

Delicious! This recipe is super simple, and incredibly versatile, the scones were perfect! I added orange juice and zest to the dough, as well as to a glaze I made to go on top, and it was great!

wonderful recipe and so easy…takes very little time from start to serving. The only change I made was substituting 1/3 Cup kefir for the cream. I used a bowl and spoon instead of my food processor.
This will be my go to recipe from now on! Thank you.

We’re so happy you enjoyed the scones, Susie! Sounds like a delicious New Year’s Day tradition 😋

Excellent New Year’s Day scones. The food processor made it so easy and almost fool-proof. I also liked that there was no egg in the dough.

Hi Robin! Others have used milk instead of heavy cream with success. Hope this helps!

I’ve made many scones over the years but none were as authentic as this recipe. Made them plain with the sugar and cream topping and absolutely love them. Will be making for Christmas Eve with dried cranberry and pistachios…already know they’ll be a hit.

Hi Becky! You don’t have to thaw them to bake them, but just keep in mind it will take several more minutes to bake. 🙂

I’m having a tea party in a week. Want to make these tonight and will freeze them. Do I need to defrost before baking?

Hi Lea! Did you try the gluten free flour? I would love to know how it turned out. 🙂

Hi Stephanie! I haven’t tried whole wheat flour here. It’s a bit “thirstier” so may need alterations, but without having tried it myself, I can’t say for sure what they would be. Let me know how it goes if you try it. 🙂

Stephanie — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 15:38:06 +0000

I’ve made these using your recipe about five times and they are always wonderful! I was wondering if I can use whole wheat flour as a substitute and if so, what adjustments to the recipe would I need to make?

I was intrigued when the recipe called for heavy cream. I added chopped walnuts, golden raisins, chopped dried cherries, and almond filling, topped off with toasted sliced almonds. WOW. It sounds like a lot of mix-ins but it gave them a nice texture and the perfect amount of sweet since I only used half the sugar. AMAZING!!

I made these scones, and I have to say they were the best scones I’ve ever had. My family raved about them as well. I love that you have a video to most of your recipes. I think that’s a great idea. I couldn’t find your recipe when I came back here to find it to make more. And I stop using someone else’s recipe. And it was a disaster. I’m so happy I found you again this time. I have print it out the recipe.

I made a vegan version and they’re fantastic! Vegan butter (I use Earth Balance) and Silk dairy free cream. I add orange zest and cruising. Delicious and you’d never know they’re vegan!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Wanted a recipe that was quick, that I could make in the food processor, and wasn’t dry. These hit the nail right on the head. Added 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. Perfection and will now be my go to recipe for Scones!
