Scones - Nay-nay's family recipe

[faffa_70]

ok savoury scone pin wheels - I am super mum according to my treasured 6 year old DS  made these after school last night. I generally make these with bread dough for lunches, but they were hungry and really wanted pizza scrolls as they call the bread ones...

Make the scone mix leaving out the sugar and add around 1 tablespoon or to your taste of either dried italian herbs or basil. Tip out on to Thermomat and gently press together to form a rectangle - not too wide as you only want to roll it a couple of times (less handling!!)

spread with either tomato or BBQ sauce (BBQ here) then top with shredded ham or bacon and grated cheese. Roll up and slice off into rounds.

Place close together in a lined lamington pan and cook as per usual.

Would longlife cream work in these? I never seem to have fresh cream when I need it and would love some warm scones - then again can you whip longlife cream?

[Wonder]

I looked up longlife cream and it is meant to be able to be used in place of fresh including whippin so will give this recipe a try.

Take any compliments that come your way Kathryn, you deserve them 

[Nay-nay]

That sounds like a good idea Kathryn 
Wonder, that is all i used to use before we had the cow.

You may think me daft but I am just not a native speaker. So what is "the MC"?

Thanks

I think I'll aways stick to my recipe handed down through a couple generations - it always works out perfect!

3 cups of SR flour
2 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
 3/4 cup cream
1 cup milk

Bung it all in TMX bring together for 2 seconds at speed 5. Knead on the  until it has come together to form scone dough.
Cut with the MC and bake 220^oC for 12min.

 

I made these scones last Sunday and they are really wonderful. Thank you for a fantastic recipe. Scones can be fiddly and hard once baked but these are great. I made half a recipe and it made many - cut with the mc.
I converted into grams as follows:

510g self raising flour
2 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
200g cream
250g milk

Regards

The MC= Measuring Cup,the thing that sits in the hole of the TM lid.

[Nay-nay]

See now you know - not daft at all - you'll catch on to the thermo-lingo. 
Using the MC makes for a small scone if you like them bigger you can use a drinking glass.

Hey, thanks, this really IS helpful!

[Carine]

Thanks Nay-nay for your scone recipe:  yesterday I finally made a good batch of scones :  previous recipes didn't work but yours is FANTASTIC 

[Cuilidh]

These are the best scones I have ever made as well. 

[Nay-nay]

Fool proof - I tell you! 

[KLC79]

Stupid question maybe but do I use whipping cream or thickened cream. What is the difference between them?

[Cuilidh]

I would use whipping cream as thickened cream has additional thickening additives added to make it thicker (if you can follow that).  I should imagine either would be fine, though.  Perhaps Nay-Nay will pick up on this and give you the "definitive" answer.
