This recipe was great and super easy. I used craisins instead of currants. I also grated the rind of one lemon and juiced half of it in the dough to make lemon/cranberry scones. I did not make the topping instead I made a lemon glaze with powered sugar and lemon juice. SO YUMMY!

EXCELLENT!! This was the first time that I ever made scones and they were easy. I made this for a brunch I went to and they were gone in seconds. I made 2 batches...one according to the recipe and then for the 2nd batch I did not have anymore raisins, so I used chopped dried apricots and they were just as awesome as the ones with raisins. Thank you so much for the great recipe.

I had spare egg yolks after making a pavlova so I made these in the triangle shape which was novel. They were delicious. Using the sour cream always makes the finished product beautifully moist and soft. The only down side is that they didn't last very long and I have to go and buy more sour cream to do another batch!!!

I'm not a very good scone baker. Most of the time my scones come out dense and not flaky...but these were perfect! Not dense, very flaky and very tasty. These are a winner for me. I will defiantly make these again.

I'VE BEEN TRYING ALL SCONE RECIPES. THIS IS TERRIFIC. I USED RAISENS AND ADDED HALVED CANDIED CHERRIES (LIKE IN FRUIT CAKES). AND I BASTED THE TOPS W/EGG & SPRINKLED SPLENDA & CINNAMON MIX. ALSO, USED SPLENDA BLEND (1 TBS) INSTEAD OF SUGAR. THE BEST!! THANKS

this was my first time making scones from scratch and it was surprisingly easy. i substituted the currants for cranberries, added more sugar, and a pinch of lemon zest. it came out awesome!
