I did half white flour, half whole wheat as others suggested. Also added a glaze (powdered sugar with orange juice) which I think they needed for sweetness. Delish!

I replaced 1 cup of the wheat for unbleached all purpose flour and used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. They were delicious! I also patted the dough into circles and cut the scones into wedges.

I followed almost exactly, Couple of days before I put zest in sugar thinking it would "candy", I think it just added a little more sugar to the mix. I ground my own flour (1st time) and because of this my dough was pretty sticky but I managed to cut and get them on the pan, mine seem more like a cookie than scone, I like how they turned out. Thank you for a great recipe.

A little on the dry side but of course you're going to expect it from the www/wheat germ. But these healthy scones has potential. All I need is a healthy spread or icing.

These are pretty good. I didn't have a round muffin cutter, so I used a cookie cutter shaped like a big candy corn (a triangle really). Next time I think I will shape by hand so they look more appealing. Just a tad bitter from the orange zest. Next time I think I will use just a little more orange juice and add a touch more brown sugar. Good healthy recipe though!

Absolutely delicious. I used wheat bran instead of wheat germ and butter instead of shortening. Very grainy, healthy texture, and they aren't loaded with sugar. Just be careful not to overcook them--they may get dry. Mine only took 6 minutes in the oven.

I made quite a few changes, but they were really yummy. I thought using all whole wheat would be too heavy (although I should try it and see!) but I used 1 cup AP flour and the rest whole wheat. My wheat germ was bad so I used ground flax seed, and I subbed sour cream for most of the milk since I had a lot. I used half butter/half shortening and threw in a bit of coconut oil and also added some protein powder for good measure. I made a glaze like some suggested with OJ and powdered sugar and they were super good... without the glaze I think they would need some butter or something. I also didn't roll them out I just spooned them out like big cookies. But I LOVE cranberry orange scones and this was a nice healthier take on them!

This is the first time I ever purchased wheat germ, so I was hoping that I hadn't wasted my money. My whole family ate these with out the usual fussing about "what is in this?". I also tried it with orange flavored cranberries. I didn't have orange juice at home, but just squeezed out the juice of 1/2 of a large orange as I needed to use an orange for the zest. I also added cinnamon. Never can have too much cinnamon!
