Just okay. From all the reviews, I must have not done something right. Maybe didnt cut the butter enough. I like my scones a bit sweeter and a bit drier. These came out pretty doughy. I sprinkled some raw sugar with some cinnamon on top and that part was pretty good.

My mother (who is from England) had a traditional tea party for some guests and I decided to use this recipe to make the scones. They were a huge hit! I even had to make a copy of this recipe for one of our friends.

Very basic recipe but good to experiment with. I brushed the scones with egg white and then sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on them.. Best to eat right away, don't store well.

I have tried making scones in the past with little success; they always seem pretty bland. I added 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest. Here is a great hint when working with dried cranberries (or raisins) -- add the craisins and orange zest to the beaten egg and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes before adding to the dry ingredients. This plumps the craisins and makes them really moist. After the scones had cooled for a few minutes, I topped them with a simple orange glaze. Very yummy indeed!

Wonderful, quick and easy! I used buttermilk instead of milk. I added a couple of T. fresh lemon juice, grated lemon peel and poppyseeds. I added a glaze of powdered sugar mixed with lemon juice - yum! The dough is sticky, but workable - key is to not overwork the dough. I used 1 c. butter and after cutting in the butter, I made a well in the center and added the liquid mixture. Gently folding in the flour to mix, then finished by kneading lightly and patting out into a circle. Worked perfect - light and flaky! Thank you.

This is a delicious and simple scone. I have made many recipes, but I really loved the flavor of these. After reading all the reviews, this is what I did. I sifted the dry ingredients, using just 4 tsp bakins powder, I did half butter, half margerine, and I used 1 egg with part half and half part milk to 1 cup (I used slightly more than half of the milk mixture). I made mini scones for a tea party - I cut in circles then in half and crimped to make more triangular! These are so light and fluffy. I also did a batch with cranberries and pecans chopped! Thanks for sharing! This is a great verstatile recipe!

This was my first time making scones. I added 1 cup fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup fine chopped almonds, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tbs dried orange rind. I tossed the cranberries with about 1/4 cup sugar before adding to the dough. I am very pleased with the results.

This was my first attempt at making scones- yum! I left them plain for my first try (will try blueberries next time) and drizzled them w/ the vanilla glaze recipe from this site. Served warm w/ homemade raspberry jam to my hubby this morning. Will make again and again!

Oh my goodness! These are great. I cut down the baking powder to 3 tsp. and used half heavy cream, and half skim milk. Took awhile to come together, but once they did, it was fine. I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, and then threw in some dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Came out fantastic. Not too dry like scones usually are. I can't wait to surprise my boyfriend with these when he gets home.

This recipe was very easy to make, but I found that the dough was much too sticky and the taste ended up being much too bland. I did add brown sugar and cinnamon, but it really didn't make much of a difference in the lack of taste. I won't be making them again.

I made these today because my recipe calls for whipping cream and I was out. For starters the dough was so sticky I had to add almost two more cups of flour. I added raisins and rolled and cut them out into rounds and they made more than 2 dozen. They weren't as sweet as my other recipe makes but that is probably due to the fact I had to add so much more flour.

great recipe, very easy and quick. I added brown sugar and cinnamon to one batch, and raisins and cinnamon to another batch, needless to say--both batches were gone by the end of the day. Thanks so much!!

Overhere in Malaysia it is difficult to get freshly baked scones in our cake shops so I decided to make my own, this recipe is just great, easy to follow and even a beginner cannot go wrong. My family enjoyed it.
