Stonewall Kitchen Traditional Scone Mix, 14.37 oz

Makes delicious scones easily. A great brand that never disappoints.

The best scone mix. Rich and crumbly. My guests loved them and asked for the recipe.

The recipe calls for 1 & 1/2 sticks (170 grams) of unsalted butter and 3/4 cup of cold water and requires a small amount of technique (using hands or food processor) to incorporate the butter to a wet sand like consistency prior to adding the water. The butter mixing step, and minimal stirring (quick breads have no yeast so forget about kneading dough) of the wet and dry ingredients afterwards helped to ensure a light crumbling texture. The mix yielded eight well sized scones as the recipe outlined. I made one minor alteration and used whole milk instead of water. Lots of recipes and videos suggest a light brushing of eggwash to enhance browning on the top of the scones. It's purely aesthetic, but I will likely eggwash the tops next time since the bottom would burn if one wanted a fully golden top. The scones had an excellent flavor and paired well with Devon cream and black currant preserve (lemon and lime curd were excellent as well). One lucky guinea pig found them to be superior to those offered by a well regarded tea room. Of course, I can't take all of the credit for the results. Many thanks to Stonewall Kitchen!

This scone mix is the closest I’ve seen and tasted to a true English scone. It is very much like an old-fashioned biscuit, low in sugar and versatile in that you can add nuts, cranberries etc. before baking. Served warm is the best!

Can't wait to try this scone mix out. Just got it. Looks yummy! I got my scone pan today too and looking forward to some tasty scones. I got this mix cos I can put other fruit or nuts, chocolate chips in it, etc. for variation. I hope it tastes good. Arrived on time and as described packaging. It's not a small box either. It's not huge, but it will work just fine. I can get quite a few scones out of this box. I'll update this when I use it. Update: 28 October 2017- I just used this mix today. It came out nice. Wasn’t too hard to make at all. The only thing is that it said 8 scones and I was able to get 12 nice scones from this in my pan. So I was very happy with it. Since this is a basic scone mix, I added some sugar to it and I added maple syrup and pecans in one batch and blueberries in the other batch of this. I divided the recipe into 2 bowls. Came out lovely! I even added extra butter and it was still good. Just as I hoped. Highly recommend!

While I realize many ovens differ by a few degrees, these took almost 15 minutes baking time, then another few minutes out of the oven. Cheaper to make homemade from scratch, and tastes just as good. With so many free recipes on the internet, I should have known better, But for $8, I thought certainly I would get more than 1 pan. Very disappointed in the quantity, especially for an average scone recipe.

This mix was very authentic tasting, and I would know I lived in Ireland for five years with an old woman who constantly baked bread lol Very simple instructions and straightforward. Easy to use even if you mess up the recipe a little bit it has some leeway. All in all a very good attempt for the price. If you can’t get to Ireland, this is the second best thing.

Excellent product & others enjoyed the flavor w/out being dry. Best when I served them warm.
