These scones were great! I used buttermilk instead of regular milk and I added half a cup of blueberries.

These scones were small, flat, and without much flavor. I live in the UK and go out for tea and scones often. These tasted more like Bisquick biscuits. They are nothing compared to a real British scone. I doubt they compare to something in NYC either.

Made exactly as written except with butter rather than margarine. Really not good. Flavorless. Where's the egg? It's needed for lightness. No sweetness - I know scones should not be too sweet so you can put your clotted cream and jam on, but these were awful leaden weights we ended up throwing out to the birds.

This turned out better by making the scones larger (one batch = 6 scones instead of 12)

I made a slightly denser, whole wheat, bran and real butter version (see custom versions). This recipe as-is is really good but i would encourage cutting in the shortening as for pie crust, and using butter. Coconut oil is a good vegan substitute for butter. Also standard recipe took my oven 15 minutes.

These are so good and so easy! I miss scones now I live in NY and this recipe makes absolutely delicious scones! The only issue is that this recipe only makes 6 scones, not 12, or maybe I'm just making them too big?? My American husband loves these too. I eat them with my own homemade strawberry jam and I'm still trying to locate a good way to make clotted cream.

We loved this one! I followed ingredients/instructions but did use Stevia (3 TBS) instead of sugar and butter instead of margarine. Light and tender with a very nice flavor!
