Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Ensure your cannabutter is cold and cut into small cubes for easy incorporation.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the caster sugar until evenly distributed.
Rub in the cold cannabutter cubes using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Work quickly to keep the butter cold.
Create a well in the centre and pour in most of the milk, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Using a knife, gently mix until the dough just comes together. Add the remaining milk if needed.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 2cm thick. Don’t overwork the dough or your scones will be tough.
Cut straight down with a sharp knife or round cutter into 8 squares or circles. Place on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they’re just touching for soft sides.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 15-18 minutes until risen and golden brown. Check with an MagicalButter Machine MB2E to ensure your oven temperature is accurate.
Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving warm with jam and cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Perfect Rise Every Time
Keep your cannabutter cold and don’t overwork the dough. The secret to tall scones is gentle handling and a hot oven.
Jam First or Cream?
In Australia, it’s traditionally jam first, then cream. But with cannabis scones, do whatever makes you happiest!

Absolutely! This is a great option for beginners or anyone wanting milder effects. Replace 10g of cannabutter with 10g of regular cold butter to create scones with approximately 7mg THC each. The texture and flavour will remain identical.
Expect effects to begin 30-120 minutes after eating, with peak effects around 2-3 hours. The fat content from butter and cream can slow absorption, so be patient and don’t eat more too quickly.
Yes, decarboxylation is essential for any cannabis edible. If you’re making your own cannabutter, you’ll need to decarb your flower first. Store-bought cannabutter should already be decarboxylated.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Always label with contents, dosage, and date. For longer storage, wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
Stay calm and hydrated. Find a comfortable, safe space and wait it out. Effects typically last 4-8 hours. Call the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) if you’re concerned, or seek medical attention if experiencing severe anxiety or distress.
Yes, you can use cannabis-infused coconut oil, but the texture will be slightly different. Use the same amount (20g) and ensure it’s solid when you add it to the flour mixture for best results.
