Barkers Frozen Mini Fruit Scones - 1x48

Product Information

They use an original recipe that has been perfected over three decades and offer twelve unique flavors throughout the year, depending upon the season. Bake the scones for 19 to 20 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven, and allow the scones to cool right on the pan. When they're cool, cut each scone in half once again, to make a total of 64 tiny triangles. Don't be too particular here; in fact, if the scones are already a size you like, don't bother to cut them again. But if you decide to cut, don't stress about making them all the same size, or perfect triangles; trust us, no one but you will care once they're glazed and on the table. Aldi Everyday Essentials Sultana Scones (49p for ten) Reviewed by Paul Dimery – Boundless digital editor

In keeping with the spirit of contention, we decided to pose another important question: what are the best scones you can buy right now? To find out, we gathered together various flavours – both sweet and savoury – from some of the UK's top supermarkets. We then asked some of the Boundless team, and members of our Cooking & Baking Group, to put them to the test. There could only be one winner – read on to find out which scones took the crown... Now you're going to coat each scone with glaze. You can dip each one individually, which is quite time-consuming. Or line a baking sheet (with sides) with parchment, and pour about half the glaze atop the parchment. Set the scones atop the glaze, swirling them around a bit to coat their bottoms. Then drizzle the remaining glaze over the top. Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over each scone, to coat it entirely. The glaze is very thin, so this is easily done. There's something amazing about a fluffy scone filled with rich clotted cream and sweet jam, but it's always a shame when the scone itself just isn't quite up to scratch. Whether you're a fan of fruity or plain, there's plenty of options at our local supermarkets to choose from. Cut the square into 2" squares; you'll have a total of 16 small squares. Now, cut each square in half diagonally, to make 32 small triangles. This is all easily accomplished with a rolling pizza wheel; if you're working on a silicone mat, be very careful not to press down too hard as you cut.The big question is, which supermarket does the best scone? Does it really make a difference if we buy the 'special' more expensive scones, or is cheap and cheerful the way forward? With the Queen's Platinum Jubilee coming up at the start of June, many of us will be entertaining friends, family and even neighbours to celebrate the benchmarking event. If you need some baking inspiration or help with making some of Britain's classic treats, help is at hand. These were the joint most expensive scones in our test, but they're worth every penny, with a mouthwatering appearance and a deeply satisfying taste and texture. Whether you eat them with butter or with jam and cream – or should that be cream and jam? – you're in for an afternoon treat. Scones aren’t something I buy in regularly, but I do enjoy them, especially with traditional clotted cream, jam and a cup of tea. I have to say, these Sainsbury’s scones tasted delicious.

When I cut them in half, they kept their shape well, which was pleasing as sometimes if scones are too dry they can crumble all over the place. These are enriched with Cornish clotted cream and buttermilk, and even without anything on, they tasted buttery and well seasoned. Make the glaze by stirring together the sugar, water, and vanilla. If the sugar seems particularly lumpy, sift it first, for an extra-smooth glaze. These scones had an interesting hexagonal shape and were nicely browned with a sprinkling of cheese. They didn't have a particularly strong taste or aroma, though the hint of cheese and touch of heat from the cayenne were quite pleasant. Sadly, the texture was very claggy, damp and heavy. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together. Stir in additional milk or half and half if the dough seems dry, and doesn't come together. Scones are the ultimate English tradition and a must in any afternoon tea. Whether you top yours with cream then jam, or jam then cream, they are best served warm straight from the oven.The texture of these square-shaped scones felt a bit dry in the mouth. I couldn’t taste the clotted cream at all, while the strawberry flavouring was a little synthetic. Interesting idea, poorly executed. For best texture and highest rise, place the pan of scones in the freezer for 30 minutes, uncovered. While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 425°F.

In homes and cafés up and down the country, you'll hear folk arguing about whether these baked treats are pronounced scones(as in rhymes with bones) or scones(as in rhymes with cons); whether plain or fruit ones taste nicer (hey, what's wrong with the savoury types?); and whether you should spread jam or cream on first when having scones as part of an afternoon tea. The scone was delicious - the sultanas were soft and full of flavour, and I was very impressed with the texture, as the scone was moist and buttery. Priced at just 99p for four, I think the Aldi Specially Selected Sultana All Butter Scones are a bargain and worth every penny. I’ll certainly be buying them again! For a chocaholic, these were very disappointing scones. There was nodiscernable smell, and I expected more flavour – I couldn't taste the chocolate drops at all. To make things worse, the drops started to melt after the scone had been in my hand for a couple of minutes. Never again. Highland Gourmet Scones is based just south of Birmingham, Alabama. They’re a family owned and operated bakery, specializing in premium gourmet scones. Many reviewers comment that they’re the best scones they’ve ever had and that they make an excellent gift idea for friends and family alike.It's slowly but surely getting warmer, which means many of us will be indulging in a good old cream tea, we wanted to find the best scone to accompany the popular sweet treat in terms of taste and value. Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined or well-greased baking sheet. They can be set fairly close together; you should be able to crowd them all onto an 18" x 13" half-sheet pan.
