wonderful! I only tried a large crumb last night when I made them, but my coworkers LOVED them! I liked the little bite I had. I think I added more cinnamon than called for, and a few more currants. I halved the recipe and made it straight from the mix, but I may have to make these as gifts sometime. Very good, and incredibly easy too. Thanks for the recipe

These were easy to make and whole family enjoyed them for Easter breakfast. I formed the dough into a square about 9" and cut into square "biscuits", brushed the top with egg white, then sprinkled sugar. They were easy to handle and tasted good with the currants in them. I added a dollop of sour cream to the dough, and I don't know what that did for it, but they were tender and tasty, and no leftovers. I did use 1/2 whole wheat flour, it may have been whole wheat pastry flour and I baked the "biscuits" for a shorter time than suggested. This is a keeper! I used half the recipe and it made enough for 6 people.

Not only does this recipe make the best scone mix--it makes the best scones! After looking at other scone recipes that use perishable items I don't usually have on hand (e.g. sour cream), I tried this recipe. The scone are tender, moist, flavourful, and crisp on the outside. The recipe is incredibly adaptable. I've used dried cranberries, raisins, diced dried pear, and today I'm going to use frozen mixed berries. Friends who have received the mix as a gift have raved about it. I usually double the recipe. Doubling the recipe makes about 15 cups of mix or 5 batches of scones.

I made this for family and friends at Christmas and got rave reviews and recipe requests. I substituted craisins for the currants.

I was so happy to find this!! I make the All Day Apple Butter from this site and then can it to hand out as gifts to teachers. I wanted a biscuit/scone mix to put in a jar with the yummy apple butter (be sure to cut the sugar in half if you make that.) This was great. You do need to heap the sugar or it wont be sweet enough. I also used Butter Flavor Crisco for some extra flavor. Cranberries were on hand and they worked great. Definiteley a keeper. Thanks

This made a great gift for the neighbors! I split the six cups of mix this made and got 2 gifts out of each bacth. I also used orange flavored dried cranberries (I couldn't find currants), 4 of the 8 neighbors I gave it to called within the week to say how good it was.
