Fabulous savory scones!! I loved the flavor from the cheese and spring onions. The outside was nice and crisp, while the inside was moist and delicious. I love the idea of using boursin cheese and will definitely do that next time. Some U.S. conversions that worked for me: 2 cups self-rising flour, 6 and 1/2 T. butter, 7 oz. shredded cheese. Thank you for a wonderful family recipe!!

Oh FT, another winner from your kitchen! Everyone loved these scones! They are flaky yet tender with a lovely crunchy crust and such a yummy flavour! The spring onion, cheese and cayenne pepper go so well together and make for a delightful treat! :)
I only used 60 g butter and that worked out perfectly. Since I prefer my scones round, I used a 6.5 cm glass for cutting them and ended up with 12 scones.
MERCI BEAUCOUP for sharing this definite winner with us, darling! :)

I was disappointed with the dough mix, was too wet and oven for me, was too hot ending with dry scones. This time i only put one egg and two tablespoons of yogurt in the mix, baked at 175c for 18 mins., in a convection oven, and they turned out perfect, light, risen and delicious. Hope that is helpful.
Must say tho, i think French Tart,love that name,lol, has some interesting recipes, well done to you, from Scottish Crab!

This is my very first time making scones and I think I may have done something wrong, though I followed the instructions very carefully.. I think I might just have put too much yoghurt in - but I didn't get a doughy mixture I could actually knead. So I just scooped it and plopped it on the sheet lol. Either way - they rose beautifully and taste delicious! I'll definitely be making these again and next time I won't use so much yoghurt lol!

WOWSER, darlink!! Another winner for sure--Your Scottish Grand really knew her scones!!
Made into small appie-sized and only half of the recipe. (my first attempt at scone-making was a disaster!) Baked on a cast iron griddle for a crispy delicious bottom. Rose up so beautifully that when I peeked in the oven--I yelled--hurray!! (Scared the cat!.)
Love the blend of flavors in these. They are being added to my hard drive CB for my sons.
Made for the British Isles tour in the British/Scottish/Irish Forum.

This is a douplicate of Aunt Claire MacDonald's recipe. These Scones were great when she made them and even better when my wife made them.
