very flavourful! i made them using whole wheat flour, so i added a little extra soy milk and they turned out great :)

The result looks pretty good, will still have to try how they taste. Would love more clarification on the step in which the butter was added, as I was unsure how the texture should be. I ended up kneading by hand as I was getting nowhere with the forks

Hey Anne, we're glad the result looked good! When adding the butter, aim for a crumbly texture with small, pea-sized bits of butter throughout the flour mixture. Kneading by hand can help achieve this if the forks aren't working well. It also helps to keep the butter cold for the best texture 😊

so easy to meal prep, i love to toast it and dip in hummus


Yesenia - Jan. 1, 2025, 5:12 p.m.

These are SO GOOD! I’m not usually a huge fan of black olives but this was so well balanced that I just wanted more 😋


Shayda Abidi - Nov. 10, 2024, 8 p.m.

So delicious and easy


Jessica - Oct. 27, 2024, 6:43 p.m.

Great texture and the flavorings are very adaptable:)

EVERYTIME I’ve baked them they don’t rise 😭😭😭 I don’t know what else to do chile 😭😭💀

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 19, 2024, 4:41 p.m.

Hey Nox, aw we're sad to hear this! Are you swapping any ingredients or portion sizes? If not, I wonder if your oven temperature may be off, which might affect the baking outcome. An oven that runs cooler than the set temperature could cause the scones to take longer to bake and still not set properly, leading to them sinking. Using an oven thermometer can help you verify if your oven reaches and maintains the correct temperature. One other thought: try to keep the oven door closed during at least the first two-thirds of the baking time. Opening the door frequently can lead to temperature fluctuations affecting the scone's rise and setting. I hope this helps for now 🤗

Super easy to make ! However something was missing, the taste was insipid for my mouth 😙 Next time I think I'm gonna add more nutritional yeast and switch "chive" for rosemary or thyme, add basil and some cayenne pepper 😛

Délicieux. Patte équilibrée en goût et en texture. Juste ajouter 4 fois plus d'olives que ne le dit la recette


Dorottya - Feb. 9, 2024, 10:12 a.m.

These were so easy to make and they are super delicious! I never bake but these were very straight forward. Will be making them again for sure.

We're beyond happy to hear this, Dorottya! Happy baking 🙂


Anna - Feb. 8, 2024, 10:30 p.m.

Consistency turned out perfect and they were so tasty!

We're so happy to hear, Anna, thank you! :)


Louise Magnusson - Jan. 7, 2024, 2:25 p.m.

Love the combination of olives and chives in the scones, and I served my scones with sliced cheese, cucumber and radishes for a steady breakfast 😋
I am not good at baking, but this recipe was user friendly and the dough was easy to handle. I think that I need to use less time than 14 min in the oven because my scones became little dry.

PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 7:01 a.m.

Hey Louise, thanks for sharing your experience with the scones! We use conventional heat, so the symbol on our oven shows the top and bottom heating without the fan, with the pan in the middle rack of the oven. In case you use the option with a fan, also called convection bake, the baking time will indeed be less 🤗

Louise Magnusson - Jan. 9, 2024, 7:30 a.m.

Thank you for the great advice😊. I think that I used the conventional setting when baking these scones for the first time, but I will ensure to use the right settings and optimise the time for future batches


Anita - Dec. 12, 2023, 9:26 a.m.

Really tasty! But I had problems with the dough, it was very crumbly and hard to form without mixing too much.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 14, 2023, 7:32 a.m.

Hey Anita! Sometimes baked goods end up crumbly if they have too much dry ingredients compared to wet. In case you used cup measurements, it can help to ensure that the flour isn't too packed in the cup, but rather, gently spooned into the measuring cup and levelled. This will ensure that not too much flour is added. Gently working with the mixture can also do wonders. We hope this helps for now 🙌


Lenka Jeleňová - Dec. 2, 2023, 8:25 p.m.

Wonderful recipe! I've been a bit apprehensive since I am bad at baking stuff, but it turned out excellent! I did not have chives so I swiped for dill and used pea milk because it was the only one I had and it is still so tasty!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 3, 2023, 6:44 p.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Lenka, thank you! Enjoy the scones ☺️✨


Firebolt - Sept. 30, 2023, 7:02 p.m.

Deliciously light scones! Left out the olives because my husband doesn't like them, still turned out amazing! 12-13 mins would have been enough in the oven I used, but that's my fault for setting the timer to 14 mins. By the way, I have no idea how you guys do it at PUL, but I have NEVER had a recipe of yours go wrong, ever. Kudos!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 1, 2023, 7:33 p.m.

Thank you for sharing your kind words, Firebolt, it means so much! Our recipe team works hard so you don't have to 😉

Louise Magnusson - Jan. 7, 2024, 2:20 p.m.

Thank you, Firebolt, for the notification on time! I had a similar experience, and I will use your estimation on baking the scones for 12-13 min 🙏🏻


Amanda - Sept. 17, 2023, 11:54 a.m.

Wow, these were delicious!


Isabella M - July 17, 2023, 3:29 a.m.

Amazing! I doubled the filling and used onions instead of chives and it was so great.

Rút - Jan. 4, 2024, 10:39 p.m.

Addition of onions sounds great! Did you chop them very finely (and add raw) or salute before adding to mix?


Seneca Bosco - July 9, 2023, 11:20 a.m.

Super delicious with a lovely consistency as well. Thanks, Sadia!
