I made these in a hurry one evening before the kids scattered to their various practices. They were so tasty that they stuck around for more. Very easy and turn out great every time. Thanks for a great recipe.

Fantastic! I added 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 cup of raisins to the batter. The batter looked a bit too thin, so I added about 1/3 cup of self-rising flour. I didn't want to mix it by hand, so I put the dry ingredients and the butter in the food processor, and then had the dough hook attachment incorporate the egg and the milk mixture. Also, I cooked them for about 2 extra minutes. They came out wonderfully and I got rave reviews :) I think that I will use this as my base recipe, and change out what I add to it. Instead of the vanilla and the raisins, I'll try lemon extract and blueberries next time...

Excellent when fresh but they have a weird taste when reheated a day later. Might just be me. I love these scones and have made them quite a few times with either chocolate chips or dried cranberries.

I had no milk on hand, only eggnog, so I used that instead. Plus, I added vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and just a touch of ginger. I was very pleased with the result - very soft and crumbly, and so delicious. I will definitely used this base recipe again to try different flavor ideas.

Loved these scones! They have the perfect "scone" texture. I added a bit of almond extract and slivered almonds to mine, and they were fabulous - thanks for a great recipe that will be added to my recipe box!

Easy, delicious and just like my favorite bakery! I added dried cranberries and brushed the top with a little extra of the milk & egg mixture, then sprinkled it with granulated sugar.

My husband loved it! I love it too. It's really delicious and yes it was hard to shape it but just add flour and it will still be good.

I'm 15. And i wanted to cook something with few ingredients. I found this recipe and was psyched. The first time i made these I added much to much of the Egg/Milk mixture (very sticky) and they came out very odd looking but tasted great. Since then i have modified the amount I add and they come out Uber sexy. This is my favorite scone recipe ever!

Wonderful!!! I just got back from Ireland and these scones taste really close to the ones at the Old Weir Lodge in Killarny Ireland that the owner would bake fresh for us each morning. A MUST Try!!!

These were great, just a little bit dry. Next time I'll add some fruit, and possibly use whole wheat flour to make it a little bit healthier.

These are as delicious as they are simple! (I had to explain to my spouse what a scone is, but they seem to be disappearing!) I added only about half of the milk/egg mixture and wish that I'd added a little less, as the dough was still a sticky. I cut the dough into twelve pieces instead of eight by making 2 rounds and cutting them into 6ths. Next time I will make them a little flatter before baking. I made this recipe because it had the shortest list of ingredients (and all ones that I had!) and was adaptable. I added a cup of dried cranberries and they are tasty!

This is the best scone recipe I've come across in a long search. I make them whenever the scone craving strikes, or when spur-of-the-moment baking is called for. I've even brought them to a Summer Solstace party, along with fresh strawberries, to be enjoyed as strawberry shortcake. You do need to pay attention to the amount of liquid you add, as humidity seems to cause the dough's moisture to vary considerably from day to day. Great comfort food and great for sharing with friends!

I have never tried scones and always wanted to. Well, this is a really good recipe, they were very easy to make and taste yummy! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out great. When they were done, I then made a simple glaze to drizzle on top. So good! I had a friend over and she really enjoyed them and wanted to take one for the trip back home. Very good recipe and will make again! Thanks Donna!! ***UPDATE: OMG! I am addicted to these things! They are so good... I can't believe how easy and tasty these scones are. I have already made 4 batches and everytime they come out great! I have only been making them plain with a powdered sugar icing, drizzled on top. Everyone who tries them loves them! Even my picky husband! They are not too sweet, but just enough to keep you coming for more! I already ate 3! :0
