I used raisins instead of currants. These were so good my husband and I ate all 16 in less than 2 days.

these scones weren't too sweet, which was ok, but i would've liked them sweeter. I used 1/2 cup craisins and 2 tsp. orange peel, and were pretty good. I'll probably make them again.

Wonderful - especially when eaten hot. Very good served with lemon curd and substituting snipped apricots for other fruit. Thanks - certainly a great weekend breakfast treat.

Ooh SugarBabies! These are gooood BUT to gild the lily, mix up a glaze of powdered sugar, either milk or water and a bit of maple flavoring. Criss-cross the scones with this bit of icing after the scones have cooled. YUMMY!

What a great recipe! I just devoured a few (too many :0) after they came right out of the oven. Mmmm... I did change a few things after reading some of the reviews and added 1 tsp. of cinnamon, substituted organic white wheat flour for all of the regular flour, and used quick cooking oats. I also found that cooking them on a baking stone worked well and was careful not to overbake them. The result is wonderful! I am thinking of making them for my coworkers and think that I will use applesause in place of some of the butter to make them a little healthier and I may try using chocolate chips instead of currants. Can't wait to make these again! :0)

I like these a lot. I don't put any fruit in them. I like them just plain, warm form the oven with some butter. Heavenly!

Pretty good, but definately needed to add more sugar! They had a very "healthy" taste to them and were good served warm with maybe melted butter and sprinkled with sugar. Just needed a little more "sweet flavoring". I guess I just should have doubled the sugar. But good!

I really enjoyed making these - I used cut-up dried apricots and added some honey, too. The mix was very very sticky, which made it difficult to shape these into english-muffin-sized rounds. I also confused baking powder and baking soda, but luckily the end result was still delicious. I brushed the tops with milk and sprinkled with sugar before baking, which gave each scone a nice crunchy outer shell. We ate these topped with apricot-peach preserves and whipped cream. Yum!

My daughter and I made these, using the orange juice and craisins adaptations. We also cut the butter in half and substituted cinnamon applesauce for the other half of the butter. Still turned out moist and yummy!

One of our family favorites, we have passed this one on to many friends. My husband makes them on Saturday mornings on a regular basis. He substitutes craisins for the currants.

Very tasty; I followed another reviewer's advice and patted oats onto the bottoms of the scones before baking. I also substituted dried cranberries for the currants, and I then added about 1 tsp of grated orange rind. I would recommend cutting the 2 patties into only 4 slices each rather than 8.

So simple! I added a few things. 3/4 C wheat flour with 3/4 C unbleached flour. 1 1/2 C Oat Bran with 1/3C quick oats. Brown sugar in place of white, 1/2C orange juice with 1/3C milk. I found some craisens with orange essance, added those along with 3T melted butter, 1tsp almond extract and 1/4 C sliced almonds. Also, I dropped them on a silpat liner instead of a shaped cake so that they appear even more rustic. FABULOUS! This recipe is very versatile, can be endlessly changed to suit anyone's taste! Thanks for the recipe!

These scones are perfect served as a side dish or alone with a cuppa your favorite hot tea! I used dates instead of currants in one batch and in the next batch substituted 1/2 cup of the flour with whole-wheat flour and raisins for the currants. I also spiced 'em up a bit with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc. They're a little crumbly, but oh so delicious! Everyone loved them...from my husband to my toddler! Great family food!

excellent scone recipe! I used raisins instead of currants, and I added some honey, otherwise followed just as is. The scones turned out great and the taste is wonderful.
