The Langham’s Scone Recipe (2024)

I’ve shot my fair share of scones over the years when working with The Langham Melbourne. Between going there for high teas with friends and family, to eating leftovers on a photoshoot, their scones are possibly my favourite.

I was delighted when they shared their recipe on Instagram recently. I screenshot it faster than you can say “scones with jam and cream” and just had to find the time to make them. Scones were on my weekend to do list, but other things crept up (even in these stay at home times). I knew I wanted to make scones when Gippsland Jersey sent me their buttermilk and butter, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

I can hands down say, these were the best scones I’ve ever made! They were light, fluffy, and full of flavour. I did accidentally add an extra egg yolk into the dough (that was intended for the egg wash), so I’ve reworded the recipe down below so you don’t make the same mistake as me, and I’ve made a couple of tweaks to the method. Oh and don’t even start with what goes on first, jam or cream. It’s jam and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know what they are doing!
