Scone recipes
Discover our best scone recipes. Make a cream tea or experiment with fruit, cheese or flavoured versions. We’ve even got an air fryer scone!
Simple old-fashioned scones: Get started with our classic plain scone recipe, perfect for serving with jam and clotted cream. It uses just three ingredients and takes 30 minutes. Self-raising flour helps ensure big fluffy scones.
The best cheese scone recipe ever: Our ultimate cheese scones are made with mature cheddar and a hint of cayenne pepper and mustard for deep savoury flavour. We’ve included plenty of tips for best results, warming the milk and water mixture to give the raising agent a boost and pressing out the dough rather than rolling it to avoid stretching or compacting it.
Fruit and flavoured scones: Add mix-ins to your scone dough for extra impact. We’ve got traditional fruit ones with raisins plus wilder creations, including cheese and pickle, limoncello and blueberry, and pistachio and rosewater.
Browse more afternoon tea ideas, including madeleines, millefeuille and millionaire’s shortbread.
