irish scones recipe

With a lightly sweet crust and densely moist center, my Best Ever Irish Scone recipe is a tried and true classic. Take it from an Irishwoman and chef!

Gemma's Best-Ever Irish Scones Recipe

(1lb 8 ounces 680 grams) self-raising flour

(6 ounces 170 grams) butter ((frozen))

baking powder

(4 ounces 113 grams) sugar

(4 ounces 113 grams) raisins/sultanas

(10floz/300 milliliters) milk

eggs ((beaten))

In a large mixing bowl, add your self-raising flour.

Using a cheese grater, grate the butter in until it is all gone. (Alternatively using a pastry cutter, cut/rub the butter into the flour until fully crumbed and resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Stir in raisins, baking powder, and sugar.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk and until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into your flour mix and stir until a soft dough is formed. Transfer dough to a floured surface and press to 1 1/2 inch thick. (If your scones are not forming a dough add a little more liquid.)

Cut scones out with a round 3-inch cookie cutter.

Place cut scones onto a baking tray lined with parchment.

Gather remaining dough in a ball, re-flatten then cut scones from dough. Repeat until the entire batch of dough is cut into scones. If you have a little excess dough left, just pat it onto the top of the scones.

Bake at 425°F (210°C) for roughly 22-26 minutes. In the video, I said 12 minutes but to get them really golden brown you will want to bake for longer. Cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm or fully cooled with butter, jam, or fresh cream.
