These are delicious! They turned out just as I had hoped - not too sweet, not too heavy, and with a great balance of orange and cranberry. I enjoy having one large scone for breakfast so after dividing the dough into half I cut only four wedges, not six. I also sprinkled a touch of cane sugar on the top of each and baked them for 18 minutes. They came out perfect! Thank you for the recipe.

Very good; I served them at a group function and they were quickly gobbled up. I added 1/4 c. extra flour based on reviewer suggestions, but this did make the dough thick/dry enough that I had to knead a couple of times to thoroughly mix ingredients. I used dried cranberries too and substituted white chocolate chips for the walnuts. I plan to make another batch this week and I'm thinking of adding a little glaze on the top to make them more dessert-y. :)

This was my first attempt at making scones and it seemed to turn out pretty good. The scones were well liked by everyone...including the one baking them. Didn't make any changes to the recipe. A good recipe for the cranberry season.

I made this recipe for a Christmas Breakfast. They turned out really well. I didn't use half-and-half because I didn't have any on hand, so I used about a half cup of 2% milk. I used dried cranberries instead of real ones because the flavor isn't as bitter and is more sweet. I didn't have to mix them with water as one person did, since the sugar seemed to stick pretty well. I skipped out on the walnuts. Overall it is really good recipe and most everyone liked them.

I added more flour, just as others have mentioned. I also doubled the amount of cranberries called for and tripled the orange zest. I didn't include the nuts. I was worried that I had overdone it, but they actually came out really well. I don't like it when scones are too thick, so I was happy with this recipe.

Great recipe but I did make some changes. I used heavy cream (only because I had some that needed using up) I used white chocolate chips instead of walnuts. Do not overmix or knead the dough. I simply grabbed a blob (2 tablespoons or more) and plopped them onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Yummy

Delicious! Worked out great, the first batch was gone right out of the oven, so I had to make a second batch on the same day. Used dried cranberries and omitted the white sugar, and mixed 1 3/4 c white flour with 1/4 cup whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative.

These were better than I was expecting... I was thinking way to much sugar and liquid; but wanted to give it a try anyway. I only needed 1/4 c more flour to get the dough to a good scone consistency. I did brush a little half and half on the top to help w/ the browning. To get the proper thickness I was only able to pat out into one 8" round and cut out 8 scones. Not sure I will make again, I don't feel the brown sugar added enough "umph" to make it worth changing from my normal cranberry scone recipe.

delicious. whole family loved it

Did not care for this.

A great addition to any recipe box.

I enjoyed this recipe. I'll be making again.

I made these for breakfast Christmas morning. These were great! I left out the walnuts due to nut allergies in my family. I also skipped the kneading and dropped the dough onto a parchment covered cookie sheet by spoon. I made 20 small scones.

This was so good. I used dried cranberries instead of fresh, delicious. I also used sliced almonds instead of walnuts. Instead of half and half, I used one cup of vanilla yogurt and 1/4 cup of skim milk. I dropped tablespoonfuls and it made 15. They baked in 17 minutes. They were fast and easy. I can't wait to try it again.

I love this recipe. Made the scones for Mother's Day brunch and they were a big hit! No leftovers. I took the advice of previous reviews: dropped dough by the spoonful on cookie sheet, brushed with egg wash and sprinkled sugar on top of scones and substitued orange craisins. Great flavor and beautiful scones.

Excellent with coffee.

Delicious scones! Like others have said, just skip the kneading and plop 9-12 spoonfuls of dough on the baking sheet. I served these with strawberry jam and mock Devonshire cream -- everyone had seconds!

I was a little worried making this, I've never made scones before. They remind me of tea biscuits. The dough is VERY sticky. When I separated the dough and cut them in to wedges, I used flour dusted wax paper to set the dough on and extra flour as needed. You're triangle wedges will not be the exact same size but don't try to get them perfect. I found that when I put them on the cookie sheet I was worried by their appearance, but as they came out of the oven they looked good. In the end the taste made up for the trouble. I wouldn't make these everyday but they are a great treat throughout the holiday season. My rating is a 4.5 for taste and a 3.5 to a 4 for ease. Thanks for the recipe!
