Today’s guest is Gemma Stafford, the Irish chef, baker, and host behind the “Bigger Bolder Baking” YouTube show and website. She’s also the author of two books, “Bigger Bolder Baking: A Fearless Approach to Baking Anytime, Anywhere,” and “Bigger Bolder Baking Every Day: Easy Recipes to Bake Through a Busy Week.” 

She joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about the Best-Ever Irish Scones. The duo chat about textures, key ingredients like self-raising flour and frozen butter, and how to get a slightly sweet, crunchy exterior but moist interior. Because, as Gemma says, scones should never be dry! 

Want to bake along? Here is Gemma’s recipe for her Best-Ever Irish Scones.
