Where's ETC when you need him, the stuff he cooks always looks amazing.

[Dogg Thang]

Haha yes!

1. Cheese scone (warm!) with a slab of butter
2. Macchiato (ok not really cream but frothy milk)
3. CHIPS!

Good choices! All that followed by a beer and a movie and what else could one want from life?

Pretty much nothing

[kryss]

A.....S.s.s.s.scraping of butter!!!!!!

My god you are savages in Canada if you can't taste more butter than scone then something is wrong. I think i may be the super minority on that one hehe

You obviously need to put more BUTTER in your SCONES when BAKING.
(I generally don't have butter in the house actually, I switched to olive oil a few years back. But I would get butter purely to make scones with.)

That's it, it's
SCONE OFF '14

Show us your scones, boys.

OMG it's a scone off.

I love the right hand-left side of sunglasses removal. Classic move.

Right, well I'm looking at this receipe here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/scones_1285

Will probably be following that. Any other receipes people might suggest?
I'm not going to be able to bust out some cooking moves until I get back from school in a few hours, so I'll post results then.
Happy baking!

I could not. What I also COULD NOT DEFEND is anyone pronouncing it scone as in own. It's scone as in gone.

edit: the OED lists both pronunciations. This is INDEFENSIBLE!

I don't know a single person in Scotland who pronounces it as in gone! As in own is for poshos!

[QualityChimp]

What's your style?

Cornwall (jam first, then cream) or Devon (cream first, then jam)?

[charlesr]

lordy, how could anyone even consider cream first? The jam would not spread properly on top. You need a nice lay of jam, not just a lump in the middle.

That Red Lobster place that gives a basket of scones.... They must be really confused when they come to the UK and find an expensive "Cream Tea" is essentially their free stuff.

[shaffy_oppa]

I like it both ways, just depends on my mood. A nice even spread of jam with a dollop of cream or a nice spread or cream with a dollop of jam.

I recall having trouble getting them out of my older toaster and just frying them in butter instead :/

[Marmotta]

I usually buy fruit scones and consume them with copious amounts of butter, but despite normally living in Devon, I agree with the Cornish method when it comes to jam and cream.

Also, it's definitely "scon" (definitive proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0JkUkAq0Rc ) I can't help but think that anyone who says "scown" has been influenced by American TV.

[nakamura]

You lot are all ****heads. I have arrived home, after walking past a Tesco and now I want a scone.
