Family Day Scones

  4.6 – 17 reviews  • Scone Recipes

Pancakes made with this oladi recipe resemble those made in the United States, although they are often smaller and fried in oil, giving them a gorgeously crunchy edge. Serve warm with sour cream or jam.

This came out really well. I have a British husband, and wanted to impress him with my culinary flexibility LOL. I guess I need to find clotted cream and make them for afternoon tea I order to do it properly. But, I wanted to practice , so a Saturday mid morning snack had to do. They’re gone!

Delicious! Not too sweet, light a fluffy and perfectly crumbly. I added a half cup of frozen wild blueberries. Can’t wait to make these again
John Fernandez
425 was too high next time maybe 400 for 15 minutes to start. They were more work then I thought and had to add more cream because couldn’t work dough too much flour. Did 2 1/2 cups AP flour no whole wheat flour. Maybe 2 cups enough.

These scones are absolutely delicious! I will definitely make these again! They have the perfect texture and taste!
Rachel Johnson
These were absolutely amazing! I made Carmel and sugar sauce to go with! I highly recommend you do the same! Carmel sauce: Melt 2 tbs butter, add 1+1/2 cup of sugar semis a lot but it goes a long way, melt together. Add 2-3 tbs of milk. Enjoy warm. And sugar sauce is just powder sugar and milk stored together! Enjoy!

I followed the recipe and they came out great! They were moist perfect! I did add blueberries & used lemon extract.
Paul Simpson
Super easy to make and yummy with butter and honey.
Christina Martin
The only change I made was to grate the butter and place in the freezer while I was getting all the rest of ingredients ready. All four of my grandsons loved them , as I did, with my coffee.
Abigail Moran
A++++++ I used all AP flour and whole milk. These went fast. I immediately made a second batch. So good.

For the flakiest scones use frozen butter grated on the coarse side of a box grater. The little flakes of butter mix in so, well no need to use a pastry blender. I too used all AP flour for light delicate scones.

I used this recipe since it didn’t call for eggs and I was out. I made several other change though too – greek yogurt instead of sour cream, milk instead of half & half, and almond extract instead of vanilla. I also added a cup of fresh mulberries. They are super moist and have a great flavor. I’ll make them again for sure!

Yummy. Used all AP flour. Served with a little cinnamon sugar, sooo good
Leslie Young
yum! I was out of eggs and had some sour cream to use up, so this was perfect. I used all-purpose flour instead of the whole wheat. I used skim milk instead of half-and-half, because that’s all I had. I also added a smidgeon of nutmeg. Delicious! Light, fluffy, moist, and slightly sweet. 🙂

I read the reviews first before making this recipe. I followed everyone’s advice and used all purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour. They are really good. Moist and flavourful in the middle. I brushed them with a milk wash on top so they wouldnt dry out and they tasted amazing. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone.
Robert Dennis
Delicious taste but extremely crumbly. Moist and flavourful in the middle. Followed other reviewers advice and used all purpose in lieu of whole wheat flour.
Sharon Williams
Uses all purpose flour instead of wheat. Scones did not rise like I expected so they were dense. Flavor was good.
Stephen Mendez
