I think you will be fine with this as long as you add the sweetened condensed milk a little at a time and do like grandmothers did, use your personal taste to judge how sweet you want it. I did omit all of the sugar. This was great. Tripled the recipe for a crowd of about 60 people and the bowl was clean at the end of the reception.

I wanted to do a trial run for a scone recipe as I prepare for my daughter's sorority tea later this week. I can not imagine how this recipe could be any better. Absolutely delicious. A couple of hints - make sure the butter is fridge cold, cut up in small squares and work the butter through the flour with your hands until the consistency is like rough cornmeal. Everything will work together nicely and you will barely need flour to roll the dough out. I added in blueberry infused cranberries instead of the raisins and after coming out of the oven, I drizzled the tops with an icing made of confec. sugar and fresh lemon juice. I also found that the scones were too large so I used a quarter of the dough at a time, cut it like pizza to make smaller, cuter triangles.

Delicious. I am a garlic lover and found that 3 cloves seemed a bit overbearing. The next time I made it (the next night :-) I used 2 and it was perfect.
