A photo of fifteen cut golden brown cut rounds (they very much resemble scones) sitting on a cooling rack.

The #GloriousSydney levels are off the charts, it's 22˚C and 38% humidity, every single door and window in the house is open, and I've just made a batch of cut rounds for the first time in ages. :chefkiss:

And finally we have a somewhat belated batch of cut rounds, made very specifically to have with @mike@chinwag.org's jam. 😁

It's been a while, I made some more cut rounds today!

I made cut rounds again, but didn't bother trying to roll the dough into a cylinder and cut it and instead just ripped 60g chunks off, and they really rose up this time! I think I was just mushing them too much last time (they were totally flat).

I guess they're just "rounds" now rather than "cut rounds". 😛

A photo of cut rounds sitting on a cooling rack. They're basically like scones except mine are flat and haven't risen at all.

There's this British historian and TV presenter Ruth Goodman who's done a whole bunch of docos about life on farms during various periods in history. She did one series called "Edwardian Farm" and during it they made a thing called "cut rounds", basically like a savory scone. I found a recipe and made them, and while mine didn't rise much, they're REALLY yummy! The recipe I followed was this one.

I'm not remotely a person who knows about baking so I don't know why they didn't rise (needs more baking powder maybe?), but they WERE nice and moist inside and not like hockey pucks!
