These were wonderful! I replaced the lemon peel for the juice of one lemon and I left the peel out of the glaze, which I doubled. This made about 11 giant scones. I might make them smaller next time. I would recommend fresh blueberries for this one. They just pop in your mouth. Will definitely make this one again.

My first time making scones, and I'm sold on these! I only had 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, so I added some cream to make up for the liquid. My frozen blueberries were fine, but fresh would be awesome. These are a definite keeper, and I will try the lemon yogurt next time.

Wow-these were the opposite of all other scones I have made in the past-they were moist!!! They didn't crumble as soon as you bit into them and the whole family inhaled them! I didn't have any blueberries so I used raisins, and I used non-fat lemon yogurt! They were the best! I plan to make these again and again and try different flavors of yogurt and different fruits added!
