To leave my lovely DH after this?

[Hoppinggreen]

I have just been in the kitchen and could smell burning from the toaster. I asked DH and he said it was the SCONE HE WAS TOASTING!!??
Nobody toasts a scone do they? To be fair he’s from forrin but he’s been here long enough to know better.
It is a leaving offence or does he just need some baked good re-education?

YABVU toasted scones are ace! However you don’t put a scone in the toaster, that way leads to a quarter of the scone breaking off and getting stuck in said toaster (I would imagine ). Grill is best, I like a toasted scone with real butter and either a little honey or syrup.

It was a sultana scone? In that case, LTB!

I really fancy a warm cheese scone now...

depends on the scone doesnt it

bloody corona

He definitely should leave you, all the more because it was a fruit scone (as in gone) well done that man.
Toasted in toaster OR under the grill with loads of real butter.

My DH will toast a scone that’s just come out of the oven!!!!

WTF, of course you can toast scones. Toasted scones are lovely - as are fresh scones!

Sorry, OP - toasting's the only thing to do when a scone is more than a day old. But PP is right that he shouldn't put it in the toaster. It crumbles and raisins can jam the works. If he can be persuaded to grill the old scone instead, then he's a keeper.

But if it was a bought scone you are both VVU to have them in the house.

My Mum bought them blue do I need to leave her too?

I am really confused, toasting a scone, is that a thing?!

The very idea of a toasted sultana scone gives me the boak.

No.
Just no.

It’s only acceptable if they are stale (ish).

I'm having scones for my tea (had cooked lunch) I shall toast one and report back on my findings.

I'd toast a stale one. If I'd been daft enough to buy a packet of supermarket scones in the first place. (Never worth the calories even if reduced to 10p.)

I always do this - buying unnecessarily and toasting. YABU, it’s a sensible way to use them up

A freshly baked scone is heaven but a shop bought scone is revolting straight from the pocket. You have to toast it. Give it a try OP and report back!

If you haven't had a toasted, buttered scone you haven't lived.

I heat them in the oven if I can be bothered. Wouldn't toast one though, too dry.

I tried this at work once. It promptly fell to pieces inside the toaster, burnt and got stuck. Set the smoke alarm off and the toaster was never quite the same after that! Not popular that day!

Microwave.
Every time.

I am now eating a toasted scone. No fruit, just plain with butter. Very nice!

He should have put it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Takes the staleness away perfectly without toasting.

Oh aye, a wee toasted scone & butter is delicious, but you need to do it under the grill.

My 14 year old sister recently boiled milk in the kettle completely ruined in. In her defence, 14 is a learning age. I’d toast a scone though!

A heated scone under the grill for a light crisp is delicious.
