Delicious! They were the perfect mixture of soft and crumbly. I made them on Mother's Day and they were a huge hit. I added cranberries to this batch. I will be making these again.

I know this recipe doesn't need another review, but I just had to give credit where it was due. These are the single best plain scones I have ever baked or eaten, bar none. I left out the raisins, and made them for a tea, and everyone thought they were so good. They are light and just faintly sweet, so you can use devonshire cream, jam or lemon curd on them. My son used the leftover scones with strawberries and homemade whipped cream for strawberry shortcakes, and they were incredibly good that way, too! We will be making these again and again.

Excellent scones. Biscuity and smooth at the same time. Raise up nicely.

These are by far the best scones I have ever tasted! I used 1/2. raisins and a 1/2 c. chopped dates which I cooked in 1/2c. water until absorbed. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. DELICIOUS!

I made these for mother's day with fresh strawberries. I also drizzled the top with a mix of vanilla, milk and powdered sugar. This added some extra flavor since my stawberries aren't overly flavorful, like raisins or nuts would be. My mother loved them.

These scones were amazing. They were somewhat crunchy on the outside but were super soft on the inside. It has a great texture. I followed the recipe as is...except I added a bit of vanilla..and I added fresh blueberries instead of raisins. Everyone loved them.

I have never had much luck in the scone-making department, but this recipe is absolutely amazing! They are moist and delicious. I added dried cranberries and orange zest to the mix and drizzled them with a glaze icing made from powdered sugar and orange juice concentrate. When my 18 yr, old daughter tasted one, she said she thought she was at Starbucks.

These were AWESOME!!! So moist, and I totally believe that it's due to the sour cream!!! I split the dough into two, added some vanilla bean and made a batch of Choc Chip Scones, and a batch of Vanilla Bean Scones. I didn't cut them into wedges, but instead cut them with a star-shaped cookie cutter! For the Vanilla Bean Scones, I added a Vanilla Bean Glaze on top. It turned out just like the Starbucks Petite Vanilla Scones! Gotta try them again with other mixins...:)

As others have stated, very dry dough to work with and very crumbly and dense texture when baked as well as ugly looking. They look NOTHING like the photo posted. I made them to use for strawberry shortcakes and hope that helps save them, but will never make as scones again. Chewing it, it felt like a mass of dense dough in my mouth. They didn't rise during baking and needed to be baked 10 minutes longer than specified in the directions. Really disappointing with all the great reviews :(

OMG...these were the best scones I have ever had! This was my first time making it and they turned out perfectly. I did however make 2 changes. I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup and sprinkled raw sugar on top to give it a nice crunch. I do not have a food processor so I put the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden it before cutting into small pieces. Freezing it made it much easier to cut it into small chunks. I also made only 16 scones and baked it for 25 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!

Great recipe! No changes or modifications needed. I've made this recipe several times... scones turn out perfect everytime! Scones with zest of one lemon or orange zest are great!

Really pretty good. I made 2 circles w/six slices each instead of the twelve. I don't know if that's why it took a little longer to cook. They were quite moist, though. Used 1 tsp almond extract and dried cherries...Delicious!
