I enjoyed trying this recipe. I love scones so I had to try it out. They came out pretty good, but as someone pointed out there's too much baking powder. The scones came out more fluffy then I'm accustomed to. I'm going to try it with 2tsp of baking powder instead of 2tbs. I also added 1/2 c sugar, to sweeten the scone. It turned out wonderfully other then the cake like texture.

These are great and so easy to make! For sweet scones just add 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar depending on your preference.

Yum! Love these! Bake up nice and high. Not a sweet dough. Very, very easy to make. Don't overmix! I add currants or raisins and sprinkle a tiny bit of superfine sugar on top as soon as they are out of the oven. Serve with tea and jelly.

I cut my scones, and found out I probably should have divided the dough into three balls. Oops! The poofed up, but are delicious non the less. I added about two tbs of Lemon zest and ginger, and it made this recipe even better! Next time, I think I'll add a bit more sugar though, or a bit less baking power.(a bit too salty for my taste, as I usually eat scones without jam.) Thanks for the recipe Bev!

It seems there might be too much flour in these scones because they became really pastey in my mouth. My fiance loved them though. I didn't roll out the dough, but instead used my hands to roll a fistfull of dough into balls. So maybe they were too thick. I might try to add other flavours to these scones next time and maybe reduce the flour and add a bit of sugar.

i'm a newbie when it comes to cooking or baking ... or anything to do with the kitchen at all. :p but this recipe is pretty easy. i didn't have buttermilk, so i added about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to whole milk as a substitute. i also added about a cup of raisins. i think it turned out pretty ok. it tastes a whole lot better if you eat it with strawberry jam. :) oh, i think you have to let it sit for a while before baking the scones.

Not dry or flaky at all, unlike other scones I have made. They are tasty and super easy to make. I used the cut method, but made 20 smaller scones in one batch. Great with butter and some jam. Even my 2 year old loves them!

I just wanted to use up my extra buttermilk and I'm so glad I chose this recipe. Anyone who says these are bland: it says in the description this is a basic recipe-I took this to mean I get to choose my own flavour. I added mozza, oregano, and a touch of basil. I decreased the temp and increased the cooking time because my first batch was raw inside, but otherwise these were awesome.

Wow! This was the first time that I'd ever made scones, and these turned out great! I added about a quarter cup of maple syrup to sweeten them and add maple flavor, and I addded raisins and chopped walnuts. I also used a little less flour and added in some dry oatmeal. They turned out delicious! Everyone in my family loved them. Thanks for the great recipe!

I did not rate this recipe as highly because it was not even slightly sweet as a scone should be. Try adding some Splenda to make it more appealing. Also, the texture was a bit dry. Maybe a little applesauce wouldn't be amiss?

I made several batches of these for my hubbies breakfast meeting. I filled them with different types of jam, then baked them. They were sort of hand rolled, not really "dropped", as I had to close all the seams, so most of the jam would stay inside while baking. They were so good, it was difficult allowing enough to leave with him to work. My teenager, has requested we make these again, and again, and again....

These were my first attempt at scones. I pressed the dough out on a sheet of baking paper and cut scones into pieces, then transferred the cut scones on the paper directly to the baking sheet. No flour mess that way. I, like some other reviewers, only used 2 tsp of baking powder instead of 2 Tbs. They turned out wonderfully!

I found this to be a healthy snack alternative. I added dried blueberries and they tasted great on its own and even better with some jam and cream.

I think there must be a misprint in this recipe 2 TABLESPOONS baking powder is way too much. I used 2 teaspoons and was very pleased. Scones are supposed to be bland but if you like a sweeter one add some sugar!

They are moister than most scones, but left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. 2 tablespoons of baking powder seems like too much.
