Celeste Bread's British Scones available on Rakuten. A story about why I keep buying these authentic frozen scones

*This article contains advertisements.

Hello, I'm Ako (@llattehome).

Actually, my husband has a huge weakness for scones.
I like scones too, but my husband loves them even more.
Even at a cafe we're visiting for the first time, he'll always order them if they're on the menu.

So in our house, scones are something we always buy.
I almost never make them myself; I'm more the type who wants to find delicious ones.

That's why I'd like to introduce the British scones from Celeste Bread that I buy on Rakuten.

They deliver scones from Haywood & Padgett, a long-established bakery that has been making scones in the UK, directly to your door via frozen shipping.

Since I can get authentic British scones delivered to my home, I've been buying them repeatedly ever since I first tried them.

▼Among Celeste Bread's products, these bagels are also recommended.

The packaging is already cute

First of all, the packaging that arrives is cute.
It's a tray decorated with a logo and illustrations of rabbits and other animals.

I always buy them for myself, but they have high ratings on Rakuten, so they would also make a great gift.

What I buy every time is the 2-bag set with 4 scones in each.
It's a set of two types: buttermilk scones and sultana raisin scones.

The bags are separate, so you can use one bag at a time whenever you want to eat them.

Each scone is 70g.
They are larger than typical ones and have a substantial presence just by looking at them.

Authentic British scones just by baking in the oven

You can eat them just by thawing, but I recommend warming them up.
Bake them in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 8 minutes.

While they are baking, the wonderful aroma of butter starts to spread through the air.

The outside turns slightly golden and they puff up, looking delicious.
The result is so good you wouldn't believe they were frozen.

Crispy, moist, and fluffy when you eat them

When you take a bite, the outside is slightly crispy, and the inside has a moist and fluffy texture.
Rather than crumbly, the softness really stands out.

The buttermilk scones have no strange aftertaste and are delicious enough to eat on their own.
Of course, they also pair perfectly with jam or cream.

The sultana raisin scones are packed with raisins, providing a juicy sweetness.

Both have a rich butter flavor, but what I love is that they aren't too sweet.

If you want to try them at a great price, aim for Rakuten's sale periods.

The price on Rakuten is 3,960 yen for a set of two 4-packs.
That works out to 495 yen per scone.

It's a price point similar to ordering a scone at a cafe.
Considering they are delivered to your door with free shipping, I think it's a reasonable price.

If you want to try them for a bargain, keep an eye out for the Rakuten Super Sale or Rakuten Shopping Marathon.
They often offer limited-time coupons, sometimes for up to half off.

Conclusion

In this post, I introduced the selectable British scones that I frequently buy on Rakuten.

I especially recommend them to anyone who loves scones and wants to enjoy an authentic taste at home.

When I first bought them, I was skeptical—could they really be that good frozen?
But when I tried them, I was surprised by how delicious they were.

If you love scones, you should definitely give them a try.
