How to make scones in your crockpot
Get the full recipe at the bottom of the post – see the recipe card below.
If you look at your slow cooker as being a pot like a Dutch oven or cast iron casserole dish it helps. Your dough will bake with the contact with the walls of your slow cooker.
So for this recipe for slow cooker scones you make up your scone dough the normal way, i.e. place the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture is the texture of rough breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk. Stir in your filling (chocolate chips).
Form the dough into a round, score the top.
Line your slow cooker with a cake case (as shown in the photo above) or with baking parchment.
Place the dough on the case/parchment.
Cook on high for around 1.5 hours or until a knife or skewer poked into the centre comes out clean. Make sure you use a dish towel under the lid to stop water from dripping on top of the scone.
The scones are very tasty with a cup of tea. Enjoy for breakfast too!

Please give American directions. Thank you.

Hi Peg, I have US measurement conversions on all recipes, just look for the blue US measurements text below the ingredients, you just need to press that then it will show the US equivalent measurements. If you mean the directions please let me know what you are struggling with. It seems quite clear to me.

Very nice. Made this twice one with dark chocolate chips and one with fresh blueberries. Going to try next with milk chocolate chips and also melted milkybar on the top.

What is it lined with? Parchment paper?

As a passionate lover of scones, I can guarantee that your recipe is one of the best ones I’ve tried! Can I use coconut milk next time?
Toni says
I have just finished making the choc chip scone in the slow cooker and it has turned out divine and smell heavenly. I am resisting trying a piece as taking it with me to see family tomorrow. But shall definitely make this very simple scone again, so I can try it warm.
bakingqueen74 says
Brilliant, I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Justine says
This may be silly….but can you convert it to American measurements? I tried to figure it out and it’s not working out.
Thank you!
bakingqueen74 says
Hi Justine, sure I will try!

Your inventiveness in terms of what can be made in a slow cooker always blows me away!! So cool to do scones like this!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
Oh yum! These look really tasty. The chocolate chip twist is a lovely alternative instead of dried fruits like Helen says.
familyfriendsfoodblog says
These look fabulous and I’m wondering why I’ve never thought to put chocolate chips in a scone before!? I always seem to stick to raisins. How boring!
bakingqueen74 says
Thanks Helen, well raisins are good in there too of course!
