I just found a recipe for cafe scones, which has cream and water but no butter in it. Was just wondering if you think butter is important in scones? I've done the lemonade/cream scone before but want something with a bit more substance to them.

I don't put butter in cheese scones ever, the cheese is enough. I recently made plane scones and forgot myself, as I don't use a recipe and forgot the butter, they turned out perfectly fine.

Daughter arrived this morning with some beautiful dates requesting scones for morning tea. Liked the look of your recipe rainrain1 and only tweaked it by resting the cut scones prior to baking for 15 mins as suggested by others. Absolutely delicious and devoured so thanks for sharing.

Just had to put this in as I was really happy with my girlfriends recipe for scones. They are done in a different way, butter is not put in them but they are turned in melted butter and baked in the butter. Recipe is for butter pats. They are yummy but for a treat they are lovely.

My trick to making scones when I did, was to grate the butter and cheese, less mixing and handling required, and also put them into a cold oven.. so from beginning to end was about 30 mins.. were light and lasted for the day, if not eaten.. so suitable for supper if made in morning. never ever lasted overnight so dont know about longevity.

Yes I grate butter too usually from the freezer so nice and cold though I put on cold tray into hot oven and cook for 12 minutes always put pinch of cayenne with cheese scones it elevates the cheesy flavour.

Was taught 50yrs ago by MIL to only use cream and milk or water for scones.
Could never make them as good as hers but I think I have a heavier hand than her.

Is thickened cream ok? Thats what I almost always have
