That's one my grandmother made when I was a kid, simple and tasty.

While scones do freeze well they are best eaten fresh.

I have been playing with the recipe above and have basically halved it to make only four scones.  That is three quarters of a cup of self raising flour to half a cup of cream.

This is just enough for a great afternoon or morning tea while out on a camp.

Todays batch cooked in the Weber are just about spot on although next time I will aim for a square rather than a round.

The jam on these is Saltbush Bill’s Jaboticaba Jam.  An excellent jam I must say.

Interesting that I gave up cooking scones quite some time back because of too many failures however recent playing with this two ingredient recipe has got me going again.

Decided to play with a variation and make individual scones with the 3/4 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of cream recipe.

Here is the results.  I think it is better.  What I did was cut the dough into four then mould it in a cutter.  I do think I could have been neater.   :)

A Devonshire Tea - scones with jam and cream with a pot of black tea.

A variation on the scone recipe today.  Maggie does like dates so asked me to put some dates in.  No problem, added a quarter of a cup of chopped dates.

Then I decided to use the Devondale UHT Thickened Cream as this is what we will be carrying when travelling.

They turned out lovely once again.

So the recipe for four scones is now:

3/4 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup thickened cream
1/4 cup of chopped dates.

Into the WeberQ at 220 degrees for 15 minutes.

Kevvie loves scones YUM  ;D ;D ;D ;D
I hope you enjoyed them :D :D
regards Kev  ;)

Looked in the fridge before and saw cream and strawberry jam and couldn’t resist.

Love these two ingredient scones cooked in the Weber.

Hi Derek
Pretty god idea to get testing the ways to cook scones
so you are ready when you start travelling.
regards Kev ;)

Have always been unhappy that I cannot get an even rise across the top of the scones.  Found this little 4 inch/100 mm square cake tin.  Tiny little thing. 

Watch this space as I experiment.

---

While these are the most delicious light scones I am still getting more rise in the middle than the outside.  Hmmmm.

---

I ran out of strawberry jam so four halves have got Nutella on them.  ::)

---

They look good I would like to look at them closer  ;D ;D ;D
PS I will bring my own jam  ;D 
Kev  :D

All good Kevvie, I’m just back from Woolies with a new jar.   ;D

I did try to get a taste ;D ;D ;D ;D
Kev

With the rise in the middle have you tryed a lot with out cutting across the dough. Cheers

No I haven’t but that is a good thought.

Hi Derek
Look good the size would not worry me YUM ;D ;D ;D
I just cooked a batch of corn meat fritters  YUM 8-)
Kev

Will try some tomorrow in a little bread tin I have.

Following on from above I made some today in the little tin without cutting them.  I did add chopped dates to this batch.

I was always told with scones that you don’t over knead them.  Found out today you can under knead them as well.  They were crumbly.

The rise was quite good however could have been cooked a few minutes extra being one piece.

They were yummy still.

Not at all.  Just lay a sheet of baking paper in it and it lifts out clean.

Not wrong there Kev.  Mind you was a great sunny warm day here till about half an hour ago.  Had a little shower just before.
