Barkers Frozen Mini Fruit Scones - 1x48

Product Information

The size of these scones was much more like it, and they were plump and round – though I did think they looked a little dull and artificial. Texture-wise, they were dense and doughy, which meant that eating them with butter alone was a bit of a chore – cream and jam are a must. That's not to say that they weren't quite tasty, though, and their sweet, buttery aroma brought a smile to my face.

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.

Aldi Everyday Essentials Sultana Scones (49p for ten) Reviewed by Paul Dimery – Boundless digital editor 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.

Aldi Specially Selected Baked in Britain Sultana All Butter Scones (89p for four) Reviewed by Paul Dimery – Boundless digital editor Baked golden brown, these scones looked great, and they also had a lovely, light texture. I found them tasty on their own with butter, though they would also make a very good base for adding your own toppings. Recommended. With rich, plump sultanas and a high butter content, these large scones are very colourful and flavoursome. They're great to eat without toppings, but would also go nicely with jam and cream. A definite 'eat me'! 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. Something else important to note about Seven Sisters Scones – they offer a good selection of dietary restricted scones for delivery, like gluten free and vegan. You can choose a chef’s selection gluten free or vegan box or a create-your-own subscription box also in either vegan or gluten free.

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.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! READ MORE: We tried supermarket own brand coke and one tasted like Coke Zero Sainsbury's Sultana Scones, Taste the Difference x4 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.

Finally, Highland Gourmet Scones is our last scone delivery recommendation. They’re a small business creating scones with big flavors and each one is made by hand daily. You’ll find a smaller selection of flavors – only 4 – but the scones are shipped in a decorative gift tin and would make a unique gift for anyone with a sweet tooth. 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.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...
