Evelyn: What do you mean by normal sugar? Coarse or fine? Can you find castor sugar (esp for baking)? I bought mine from Cold Storage. The yogurt mixture should only consist of yogurt + milk + egg. Not including the amount for sugar. It’s fine to use cookie cutter. Your scone size is double the size I made. Thus, I suggest that you reduce it to half of its size so that the whole scone can be cooked evenly within the time required. Hope it helps.

Thanks. My scone size is about 6-7cm. I used cookie cutter. Hehe, I use normal sugar and add 60g yogurt to make up 3/4 cup mixture). Does this cause the burnt?

Evelyn Ng: Glad to receive your feedback. The recipes for cranberry scones and raisin scones are originated from the same source but will some slight modification. Cranberry scones use baking soda so it will be even fluffier than raisin scones. I think the burnt bottom and undissolved sugar is due to the heat of your oven. Maybe you can try to make a smaller scone size (what was the size you made?), put the lined baking tray in the center and reduce the heat slightly. Hope it helps. Btw, did you follow closely my raisin scone recipe?

I tried your raisin scones receipe and the texture turns out surprising well. Even though bottom is burnt and sugar not entirely melted. I used Ariston Oven and top and bottom, middle rack to bake. I want to try the cranberry scones too. Can you give me some advice?

Gaelle: Tks for dropping by. That’s also one of the reasons I prefer scones than cookies. Hope you will like it.

I once tried scones but turned out more like a cookie than a scone or rathe I had no idea how it was supposed to turn out

Your scone recipe looks really good. I am a big fan of scones because, unlike other cookies, they are not too sweet…
I’ll definitively give your recipe a try soon.
