I’m a big fan of the scone. If you read this blog, you probably know it already. A few years ago I made this recipe for a one-person scone. The photos were a bit… well… crap, so I did a little reshoot. Anything for a scone. Anything.
There are moments when life calls for a one-person scone. Because sometimes you’re not having guests and you can’t make a whole batch, but you just one to steal a moment for yourself, watch your favourite TV show/read a magazine/sit in silence, and eat a scone.
This is for those moments.
Ingredients
1/2 cup of self-raising flour
1/2 tablespoon icing sugar
2 tablespoons of thickened cream
Method
♥ Preheat oven to 180 degree celcius
♥ Place all ingredients into a small bowl
♥ Mix until all combined
♥ Knead a little {I did it in the bowl roughly because I didn’t want to dirty a bench surface}
♥ Form into a nice round shape {about 5cm wide}
♥ Place on some baking paper on a tray
♥ Brush with a little milk
♥ Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown
♥ Enjoy with a little jam and cream whenever your heart desires
Love Scones! I’ll have to give this recipe a go when my oven is working again 🙂 although I’m not sure one will be enough!
I don’t know how you survive without a working oven. Fingers crossed it’s fixed soon. x
As a victim of the mug-cake and all things sweet, this is not a good thing for me to know about!!
Ah yes, ‘victim’. I like it. Sorry to do this to you. So so sorry {maybe not!}. x
Thank you for just blowing my mind… I will be making one of these to enjoy before kindy pick up!
I hope you enjoy it. xx
I’m so pleased you told me about this. And I kind of wish you didn’t. This could be dangerous!
I’m sure you’ll run off a gazillion scones at Disney. x
Now all I want is a scone! I am gonna add this to my list of mini-yums (right next to my low-cal mug brownie!)
Oh, I might need to know about that mug brownie recipe!
One? How could that possibly suffice?!!! 😀
I am going to try it though, sometimes a quick, simple treat really just hits the spot, right?
Yes, and there’s no temptation to eat more of the batch!
True!
Chantelle this is fabulous and dangerous in equal parts! I’ve been known to make a batch only to have half the batch spoil because we didn’t eat them quick enough. Just one? Perfect for school days when I don’t have to share!
Yes, sharing is for kids. 😛
That is so funny- I just thought to myself that ‘it’s a scone kind of morning’ and was going to make this exact scone! I found this recipe a couple of months ago on your blog and I kinda wish I didn’t.. I am ADDICTED!! Thanks for the recipe- best scone I’ve ever tasted! x
Also- last time I made this scone I added fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips to it.. YUM! x
Hi Chantelle! I’m popping over from Ms Mystery Case. 🙂 Can’t wait to explore your blog a bit! And I’m excited about this scone recipe. My husband’s grandmother was English and we have her recipe for shortbread that is to die for. Can’t wait to try this!
Have a great day!
My Man coined a new phrase last week… “scone-oiseur.” He believes he is a scone expert. I’ve always been a bit of a scone traditionalist, but last week I tried date and chocolate scones- gamechanger! I shall have to give this recipe a whirl for my Resident Scone-oiseur xx
So can I quadruple this recipe and still not share?? Love me some scones, I blame my farm upbringing, although not a fan of the ones mum used to make with dates in, but cheese and bacon ones were YUMMO! x
REVOLUTIONARY!! Scone for one coming right up 🙂
MmMMM. I love scones. And now that I’ve seen a recipe that will let me make just one….. 🙂
Ive recently stumbled upon the site International Bloggers Association. I don’t know if you’d be interested in joining something like this or not: http://www.internationalbloggersassociation.com/certification/
Great idea! Love it!!!
I see more recipes for one… cupcakes!!
Do you think you could microwave it? Like a mug cake for after dinner when you want something fast?
I don’t think it would work. Scones need the oven to crisp them up and cook through. A microwave would make them rubbery. 🙁
Oh no one likes robbery scones – thanks!
I must try this .
