Stork instead of butter

[Chippychop]

Is it ok to use stork instead of butter when making plain and cheese scones????

Try it and let us all know

I know it works even better than butter in cakes, so why not scones.

I use stork (or asda's version of) in all my baking and never had an issue

I always use butter for frosting though

I have used stork for baking and its been fine. My granny always uses stork on all her baking and tastes fine to me!

I use stork for most things. I've even used it for pastry when baking with the dcs. It means they can actually rub it in in under 5 hours! Never had an issue.

You don't need butter or Stork - lemonade scones are the way to go! 1 cup lemonade, 1 cup double cream, 2.5-3 cups flour, mix together, job's a goodun

It'll be fine, but I am so trying lemOnade scones this weekend!

Hmm, I'm going to beg to differ - I made some butterfly cakes with Stork t'other day and they were unpleasant and kind of oily to touch. And I'm not fussy about cake

And the buttercream was just vile? sorry?

I made some cakes recently with Stork as that was what I had lurking in the back of the fridge. They came out yummy and did taste like I'd used butter.

Remember the old Brucie Forsyth Stork SB ads?

These were polenta cakes with an orange drizzle on top, so were sticky and gooey anyway.

I use stork for baking everything apart from scones. They will probs be fine, I doubt any scones you buy in a cafe/shop are made from proper butter.

For baking its fine. i second the poster who said not for icing tho!

Made the scones, lemon drizzle and fairy cakes. Drizzle looks lovely, scones look good, fairy cakes are ok bit hard on top but I think that's my baking . Will test the scones on friends tomorrow

Aargh, 5madthings, you've reminded me of my mum's 'buttercream' - stork and granulated sugar mashed together - no wonder I grew up thinking I hated buttercream!

Ergh Lovecat that sounds vile!

She only made it the once - we were all so disgusted she never tried again!

I like Stork in the gold wrappers cos my dairy free kid can have it and we make scones and cakes with it happily ( but agree about the buttercream - urghhhh grease on the roof of your mouth feel).
