FAQs

How do you make frozen scones? ›

Whether you've forgotten to pick up a container of heavy cream, or you're looking to make hearty scones that can be split and covered with jam, you'll always be ready to bake a batch of perfect scones. Just remember the magic ratio: 1 cup (227g) of heavy cream can be replaced by 1/2 cup (113g) each of butter and milk.

The frozen butter stays cold until baking time, which will keep the scones from spreading out, which makes them lose that flaky and moist texture. Flour–For gluten-free scones, simply substitute gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour.

Scones are best eaten within hours of being freshly baked. If you have to get ahead and freeze them it's best to bake them and then as soon as they are cold freeze them in sealed freezer bags. Then on the day. take them out of the freezer to defrost a couple of hours before you need them.

Freeze the scones on a baking sheet until they are solid, then transfer them to resealable bags or airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy the scones, take them directly from the freezer and pop them in the oven.

To be true clotted cream it has to have a minimum fat content of 55%, although most of the clotted cream made in England leans towards a rich 64%. As you can probably tell from these numbers it is not the healthiest thing in the world. In the U.S, clotted cream would be classed as butter due to its high fat content.

Soy milk and olive oil

To replicate the flavor and thickness of 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream, combine 2/3 cup (159 mL) of soy milk with 1/3 cup (79 mL) of olive oil. This substitute is best for adding tenderness and taste in cooking and baking, but it should not be used in recipes that require whipping.

Are Panera scones dairy free? ›

Because our scone mix recipes are made with cream, butter, and wheat flour, our scones are not suitable for vegan or gluten conscious diets.

Yes, scones freeze well. Let them cool before freezing. Place in a re-sealable bag or airtight container to protect from freezer burn (a sheet of waxed or parchment paper between them isn't a bad idea to keep them from sticking to one another). Use them within 3 months.

Yes! Butter makes everything better. But when making scones, I prefer to use shortening instead of margarine because it gives me more control over the consistency of the dough. So, you can use butter instead of margarine when making scones but they will not be quite as light.

If you want to eat them warm place in an oven preheated to 150c/300F for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also reheat them in a microwave if you prefer. Once defrosted put them in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds on high.

The resting of the dough helps to relax the dough so everything remains tender, if you kneaded the dough and baked the scones immediately the insides would be great but the outsides would be tough and chewy.

Method. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Stir in the sugar, add the butter and rub quickly into the flour, creating a fine breadcrumb consistency.
