leaguefreak Oct 2020 2:23pm, 5 Oct 2020 8,829 posts	0 leaguefreak that's the thing my mum makes terrible scones. I blame her for my failings. I used to be the same with shortcrust pastry for the same reason but at uni my housemate re taught me and I forgot my mum's evil ways. My mum was a school dinner cook and everything else she makes is awesome. Apart from scones and shortcrust pastry... Perhaps I should stop trying with scones then get one of you guys to re teach me when lockdown ends. Need a scone-stalker anyone?
Derby Tup Oct 2020 2:57pm, 5 Oct 2020 46,863 posts	0 Derby Tup The secret with scones is to have a wet dough. It’ll be too wet to knead, which is great because you need to avoid kneading

BarefootEm Oct 2020 7:06pm, 5 Oct 2020 1,739 posts	0 BarefootEm I need to try lemon drizzle again, that was what I tried before the battenburg, it was raw in the middle! 🙈
Derby Tup Oct 2020 7:26pm, 5 Oct 2020 46,876 posts	0 Derby Tup Did you make it in round sandwich cake tins or a loaf tin? Loaf can take more cooking. Bottom of oven is obviously cooler than top and that can help with slower cooking. Tin foil over top can prevent burning
