These were nice; they tasted more like a biscuit than a traditional scone, though. I added 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries, and made a glaze using powdered sugar, strawberry jam and milk. Next time I will add more sugar to the dough.

One 29-oz can of peaches, drained well with the back of a spoon and 1/2c of white chips (and I used buttermilk instead of milk and cream- 1/2c + a bit) and you have peaches and cream scones that I think I'll be making every week for a while. They're wetter than scones, like drop biscuits, but yummy - I bake at 375. They got a great rating at hubby's work, and the recipe was requested.

Love them! Made them with chopped strawberries; a huge hit with the family.

I did not care for this recipe at all. It was just sweet biscuits with blueberries, not even close to a scone in texture. It was way to fluffy. I might modify the recipe to use for biscuits. It was an easy recipe but just nothing that resembled a proper scone.

I've used a similar recipe for years (mine has 2 eggs and 1/4 cup butter). If you increase the sugar to 1/4 cup you can add the zest of an orange and a cup of dried cranberries, frost when cool with orange glaze - and who needs Starbucks!

Love recipes that are easy and leave room for improvisation. I made Blackberry/Raspberry scones with fresh fruit instead of dried. The dough was sticky but it all worked out well. So tasty! Might make a glaze to go over top :)

Quick. Easy. Yummy! Instead of melting the butter, I chopped cold butter into very small pieces and cut it into the flour mixture, and I also added a bit more cream. Very good with real British Clotted Cream. The result was a flaky scone. Brilliant!

my first time making scones and these turned out great! they were a little crumbly, but that is an easy fix for the next batch and definitely my mistake. i made them exactly how the recipe called and i liked mine with a little honey drizzled over the top and my husband loved them as is with a cup of tea. i think next time i will experiment with chocolate chips, but this is a fantastic recipe as is!

Very good recipe. First time I ever made scones and it was very simple. I made two batches-one regular w/choc. chips and then another with cinnamon, brown sugar & allspice. With both recipes I used 3/4 cups sugar like other reviewers did-you have to watch the consistency on the brown sugar ones-make sure they don't get too dry. I've found you want the consistency to be very palliable-kinda soft-kinda like play-dough-you don't want it to be so dry it crumbles-easy to work with-not dry. You could easily modify this recipe in so many ways!! Good recipe!

I had no all purpose flour so I used self-rising! it came out very good! I also shaped the dough into a circle instead of a rectangle! Made cutting the scones so much easier! I used my pizza cutter to cut the dough into pie shaped wedges! This is a great tasting scone!
