This truly is the Best Classic Cream Scones recipe! Delightfully buttery and extra flaky, these cream scones are PERFECT for breakfast or as a tea-time treat.

The Best Classic Cream Scones recipe - Step by step recipe with tips on how to make perfect flaky, buttery cream scones, that are so addictive! Easy to make and delicious.

I love a good scone. Especially with some butter, or even better, with some strawberry jam and cream!

Scones are obviously a popular breakfast item, but they are also a great tea time treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. Scones hail from Scotland, but the modern rendition of a classic scone is vastly different to those original griddle-baked oat cakes. Scones today are delightfully flaky, soft, oven-baked goodies that are popular throughout Europe and Australasia.

Classic Cream Scones - Rub the butter to incorporate the butter into the flour with pea sized butter pieces.
Classic Cream Scones - Adding the cold cream while mixing with a fork. This prevents the scones from over mixing and being over handled. The secret to getting soft flaky scones.

Cream scones are the most basic of all scones. They are somewhat similar to American buttermilk biscuits, but flakier. Classic cream scones are a great canvas on which to build different flavor and texture profiles. The first scone I ever made was a classic cream scone in 2011, thanks to one epic Australian grandma who was also my client back when I used to work as an audiologist. She walked me through her recipe for perfect scones, step by step, and I’m going to pass on all that wisdom to you guys today! 🙂

Cream Scones - The dough doesn't come together and looks clumpy or shaggy. Use floured hands to bring the dough together.

Classic Cream Scones - To create the layers, place halves on top of each other.
To create the layers, either fold over the dough, OR cut the dough in half and stack them.

I prefer to stack the dough halves to create the flaky layers.
Classic Cream Scones - To create the layers, place halves on top of each other., and gently flatten out.
Flatten the dough gently and repeat.

Unfortunately, my client didn’t actually give me a recipe that I could replicate, since she used old tea cups to measure ingredients (!), but she did say that getting the technique right was all I needed. That wasn’t exactly the case, and after some trial and error, I’ve now got the BEST Classic Cream Scones recipe, and I’m sure you guys will love it too!

So what makes a perfectly flaky classic cream scone?

  • Cold ingredients. All the flour, butter and cream for this buttery cream scones recipe must be nice and cold. It’s important to keep little pieces of butter in the dough to help create more of that lovely flakiness.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible. Do not over-mix the dough. The butter is rubbed into (or cut into) the flour, just like you would with shortcrust pastry.
  • To create layers, the dough is folded, just like you would with puff pastry. However, to make it easier, I cut the dough and lay it on top of each other instead of folding it over.

All these techniques help form the soft flaky layers in a classic cream scone.

Classic Cream Scones - Repeat the process of layering once or twice more..

Classic Cream Scone recipe - Dust the top with a light dusting of flour to prevent from sticking.
Dust the surface lightly with flour.
Classic Cream Scones - Use parchment paper to roll out or flatten the scone dough, to make it easier (sticks less), and to prevent the butter from melting. .
Use parchment paper to make it easier to roll out (with a pin) or flatten (by hand) the dough, to make it less sticky.

Some scones recipes call for the addition of eggs. The classic scone is actually eggless. The crumbly scone dough is required to create the flakiness, and eggs are a binding agent that will reduce that flakiness. While there’s nothing wrong with adding eggs, for a classic, buttery, extra flaky scream scone, you shouldn’t add eggs.

The other characteristic feature of classic cream scones (or any kind of scone) is the height.

Classic Cream Scones - Use a sharp, clean knife to make clean and clear cuts. This is important to getting perfect scones.
Classic Cream Scones - to get flaky, buttery layers make sure to brush ONLY the top with a milk glaze. Brushing the sides can hinder the baking of the scones.

So how do you achieve that height in your buttery cream scones? 

  • When the dough is rolled out to be cut, make sure it has a height of at least 1/2 inch, or up to 3/4 of an inch. After baking, each scone will rise to about twice that initial height.
  • Cut the scones with a clean knife or cutter. Clean edges help define the layers that will rise better (and taller). Wipe the cutter or knife after each cut, and dust it lightly with some flour for best results.
  • Cut round scones, triangle scones or square scones. The shape is up to you. I prefer squares simply because it’s easier. Plus, I don’t have to “re-roll” the leftovers like you’d have to after cutting round scones.
  • Freeze the scones for a few minutes before baking.
  • For soft scone edges/sides – bake the scones with the sides touching each other. This will result in taller scones because they HAVE to rise up, but they will have soft sides.
  • For crunchy, flaky edges/sides – bake the scones with at least 1.5 inches of space between each. This way the scones will bake with no interference from neighboring scones and have flaky, crunchy layers.
  • For the best of both worlds – for soft and crunchy exteriors, I prefer to space them apart by just a little, about 1 to 1.5 cm. The scones will expand and touch each other at the base, giving soft edges at the bottom, but the top edges will be nice and crispy.
  • Make sure to ONLY glaze the top. You don’t want any milk or egg wash to drip down the sides. It will interfere with the shape of the scones.
  • Bake in a high heat oven. That initial high heat will cause the leavening agent to activate very quickly causing the scones to rise and expand quickly.

What you end up with are easily the most perfect cream scones ever. They taste best while warm, as this also prevents the scones from crumbling. If the scones have cooled down, just pop them in the microwave for about 20 – 30 seconds. Split open the scone and place a pat of butter and let it melt in the warmth of the scone. These scones can be eaten just like that…

Add a generous dollop of jam and some clotted cream (or whipped cream or mascarpone) for added indulgence. That of course is my favorite way to enjoy these classic cream scones. 🙂

The Best Classic Cream Scones

Yield: 16 scones (2 x 2 inch)
Cuisine: Australasian, British
The Best Classic Cream Scones recipe - step by step recipe with tips on how to make perfectly flaky, buttery cream scones. Easy to make and addictively delicious.
US based cup, teaspoon, tablespoon measurements. Common Measurement Conversions
Total Time 1 hour
Serves 16 small scones
Prep: 40 minutes
Chilling time: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Print Rate

Ingredients:

  • 14.10 oz AP flour chilled - 3 cups spoon and leveled
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 6 oz unsalted butter (12 tbsp) cut into cubes and chilled
  • 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Extra cream or milk for brushing on top
  • Extra coarse sugar to sprinkle on top optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions:

  • Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  • Add the butter. You can cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, OR use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour. You should have pea sized butter pieces in the flour, while it looks coarse overall.
  • Mix the vanilla into the cream, and pour it gradually into the flour and butter mix. Use a fork to mix the cream into the flour until it’s all incorporated and you have a shaggy looking lumpy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted parchment paper (the same parchment paper that will be used to bake the scones). Lightly dust the surface of the scones, and bring the dough together to form a cohesive dough. Pat the dough out to a 6 - 8 inch circle or square.
  • Cut the dough in half, and place one half on top of the other. Place a parchment paper on top, and roll out the scone dough to another 6 - 8 inch circle or square (you can use your hands to pat the dough too). Repeat the process of cutting and layering the dough (once or twice more).
  • Final roll out - here you roll out the scone dough to a rough square while making sure that the dough is about ½ - ¾ of an inch high. Roughly cut and remove just the edges of the dough with a clean knife.
  • Cut the dough into 16 pieces (4 x 4), making sure to clean the knife after each cut. Cut the scones STRAIGHT DOWN with a sharp knife, to make sure your scones have clean edges and will rise properly. If you are using a biscuit cutter, lightly dust the cutter, and cut the dough straight down for clean cuts.
  • Place the cut scones in the freezer for about 10 - 15 minutes until the oven preheats.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place the scones (with the parchment paper) on a baking tray. Separate the scones, as mentioned below, before baking (you may need to use a spatula to help release the scones off the parchment paper from the bottom).
  • For soft sides - scones should be touching each other before going into the oven. For soft and crunchy sides - scones should be placed about 1 - 1 ½ cm apart. 
    For crunchy sides - place the scones about 2 inches apart.
  • Brush ONLY the tops of the scones with milk or cream. Sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of the scones (optional).
  • Place the scones in the oven, and reduce the temperature to 400°F. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the scones turn a beautiful golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool down a little. 
  • Eat while warm, or if cold, warm them up in the microwave for about 20 - 30 seconds. Serve with butter, jam and cream.

      Hi Giselle
      Clotted cream is the classic way to eat cream scones. But that’s harder to find where I live. So I just enjoy it with regular whipped cream, or macarpone cream.
      I hope that helps!

      Hi Audrey!
      I added the number of servings on the recipe card which allows you to halve it. Just change the number of servings to 8 (using the slider tool), and change the ingredients to metric (the toggle button below the ingredients) and you should get half the recipe in metric measurements.
      Hope that helps!

    I lightly dust the base of a deep square cake tin with plain flour, then place my round scones inside, edges touching. This not only gives every scone the soft edges of traditional scones, but also prevents the scones from sticking to any paper or baking sheet. It also gives the scones a little bit more of a crispier base which stops them from crumbling as much.

    These scones are incredible. I daresay they rival those I’ve had at high tea in London and elsewhere! My dough was super shaggy, so I had to handle mine more than I’d like but they still turned out out amazingly. The layering trick definitely gives these that pull-apart biscuit-like quality that I love–perfect for adding a pat of butter. I went for a cherry cardamom version, adding 1 tsp of cardamom to the dry ingredients, and about 3/4 cup dried cherries just before the adding cream.

      Hi Dini,

      I’ve only made double cream scones with a mix of milk + double cream, so this sounds absolutely luscious!!

      Could I use self raising flour instead of AP? If so, how would i adjust the quantity of BP?

      Thanks!

        Hi Celeste
        I haven’t tried to make these with self raising flour. Since it already includes salt and chemical leaveners, you would have to reduce the amount of salt and chemical leaveners added to the recipe, but unfortunately I wouldn’t know how much you should reduce it by.

      February 11, 2018 at 11:35

      Hi Michelle!
      I would add fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries because frozen berries have a higher water content and might make the scones too mushy. If you have fresh blueberries, you wouldn’t have to adjust the liquid content.
      You can definitely add nuts to these scones without changing the recipe too. I have added a heaped 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to this recipe with great results!
      I hope that helps. 🙂
