I’d have to (respectfully :) ) disagree re eggs in British scones – egg would only be used to glaze if you wanted to. The only difference I can really see is the use of buttermilk (vs milk in British scones). It would be better at activating the rising agents (baking powder/soda) because of its higher acidity, making American biscuits a little more like Irish soda bread, but with added butter. And for that reason I’ll be giving this recipe a go! If you want a traditional scone recipe, try the BBC: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4622/classic-scones-with-jam-and-clotted-cream – I hope that helps!

Hi Kathy – Interesting! We never add eggs to biscuits (and by biscuits I’m thinking flaky, buttery, southern-style biscuits) but we do usually use an egg or two in a British-style scone recipe. I’m glad they still turned out for you! The baking soda and baking powder should give them all the rise they need, although keeping the dough and butter cold the whole time also helps with the rise. Cheers!

Hi Katie Thanks for the great recipes! Tried these the other day to take along to a mid -week church meeting, after getting all the ingredients together (spring onions instead of ramp – not available here in S Africa), i noticed there wasn’t any eggs in the list of ingredients, thinking this was an error not an omission i promptly added an egg! although they didn’t rise very well??? (is this because they are biscuits and not scones as we call them here) they turned out to be a great hit, enjoyed by all at the meeting? Was just wondering, is this an egg free recipe? Plan to try the polenta pizza next!

Thanks for the recipe. I moved to Europe and I’ve been missing biscuits so much! These really hit the spot.

Wow! These look amazing. I hear you about traveling, as much as I love exploring a new place I’m happiest at home. Love these biscuits so much I added them to my weekly round-up!
