  Me and my 5 year old son have just managed to cook some fab scones using this recipe, they came out so nice we didn't even wait for them to cool down! Slap some cream and jam.. off we go! Excellent!

  Made these with my 7 yr old daughter, they were easy to make and tasted delicious, esp with cream and jam. Will make again.

  I've never been successful with scones before so thank goodness for this recipe! Wonderfully light and fluffy. After blitzing the flour, salt, baking powder and butter in the food processor, I added some large raisins with the sugar in a bowl and then the wet ingredients. I made 6 quite large scones rather than 9 so they needed a longer cooking time (about 6 mins longer) but were superb. I'll definitely make these again.

  My first attempt was a success. Although I only got 6 scones out of the dough not 9. Reading through the comments people do seem to be getting less. I may try a 6cm cutter next time as the scones were a bit on the large side. Thumbs up from all the family!

  This is a really easy recipe! I actually halved the amount of sugar and used a low fat yogurt (because that's what I had in the fridge at the time!) and stirred chunky chopped dates in at the end. I like big rustic scones, so I just dolloped 6 heafty spoonfuls onto the baking tray and washed with milk (I find the egg burns to easily in my oven). They needed a little longer cooking because of the size, so I just turned down the temp a little and left them a few minutes longer, then let them cool slightly in the warm oven, just to make sure they were baked through. Fantastic with butter or olive spread while warm.

  Must I use self-raising flour? The recipe already requires baking powder, so is it OK to use regular flour?

  At last! My scones are no longer biscuits. The best recipe I have found in a long time. Downside - waistline!

  Brilliant recipe - so easy and reliable. Not having a plain natural yogurt to hand, we used a vanilla flavoured Activia-type yogurt without adding the vanilla stated in the recipe. Result was excellent.

  This is a great recipe, my first successful scones, my mum who is 78 said they were the best she had ever tasted and my wife said if she wasn't married to me already she would marry me just for these scones. Brilliant

  These freeze very well. I did a proper English afternoon tea for some girlfriends here in Switzerland. I also made the Choccolino cake from this site and froze the scones and the layers of the cake so that I just had to warm the scones and serve with jam and cream and put the cake together. It was all really easy and looked great spread out on my best tablecloth!

  I have a 'go to' scone recipe but was intrigued by this one (hot liquids!!?) so gave it a go. It worked but I wasn't overly impressed. They didn't rise as well as my usual recipe which uses an egg and very, very cold ingredients. I used low fat yog and soy milk so perhaps that has something to do with it. I just added a sprinkle of sugar as I don't like overly sweet scones. The scones were fine but I'll stick with my usual recipe and method in the future.

  Before my mum passed away she gave me a photocopy of this recipe from Good Food. She always was a great cook and said that after years of baking this is the best recipe she ever found. When I miss her I can bake a batch to share with friends (served with strawberry jam and clotted cream of course) and remember her fondly. Thank you for posting this recipe!
