I have used this recipe often and my family asks for it at least once a week. To make things easier, I melt the butter instead of grating it. The melted butter works exactly the same as the grated. I also tend to substitute the dried fruit for real frozen berries. The younger two at my house like that better. I have also put in wheat flour instead of white. The only difference here is that you need to put in a tiny bit more sour cream because the wheat flour is more absorbent than the white.

Decided I wanted scones for breakfast this morning and this is the only one that I had all the ingredients for. They turned out great, and went together very easily. I'm not a fan of raisins or currants in my scones so I modified the recipe slightly: - lightly chopped 1/4c of fresh blueberries - chopped up about 1/4c of white chocolate chips - added about 1/3c of flour (during kneading) to compensate for the blueberry juice - sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar (so it was crunchier). - cooked them for about 25m since they were wetter It makes for a sloppier dough, but get all of the ingredients in the original recipe assembled so you have your dough-ball, flatten it out, put the blueberries and chocloate on top, and fold it together a few times (this is where it gets messy). During this step keep dusting the dough and the counter with the extra flour. Keep lightly kneading the dough with the fresh flour until it's not sticky, then flatten and divide as described in the original recipe. This works great with blueberries, as well as raspberries (frozen fruits are a lot wetter however, so you may need more flour)...not enough scone recipes out there with white chocolate.

Yummy! Great base recipe that can be adapted many different ways. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, and added orange zest. Delicious. Can't wait to try lemon blueberry and lemon poppyseed versions. Dough came together exactly as the recipe described. Grating the frozen butter worked perfectly for those of us who don't have a food processor. Seemed quicker and easier than cutting it in with a pastry blender. This receipe is definitely a keeper.

These scones are fool-proof and actually very easy. I've grated the butter straight from the fridge and used milk w/ vinegar instead of sour cream and it works fine. We like to use fresh strawberries or choc. chips, cinnamon & nutmeg (better than any choc. chip cookie I've ever eaten) instead of raisins.

Lemon blueberry heaven! I made this recipe as lemon blueberry scones with some minor changes. I only noticed when I went to add the sour cream that I didn't have enough, so I used 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of homemade buttermilk (whole milk + a squirt of lemon juice). I added 1 tsp of lemon peel to the dry mixture and 1/2 tsp of lemon extract to the wet mixture. I replaced the raisins with 3/4 cup of frozen blueberries. Instead of topping them with sugar, I made a lemon glaze with 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar and 1 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice. They were SUPERB! I had a couple guests over for coffee, and we ate them all. They raved about them and asked for the recipe. I think I'm going to make another batch tomorrow! This will definitely replace my previous lemon blueberry scone recipe.

My first attempt at scones and they were so good I delivered a batch to my foodie friends, who are very picky. Next time I may try a food processor, as others have suggested. I made mine with frozen blueberries and they were great!

I mixed as is except used chocolate chips instead of raisins. 1/2 cup is not enough. These were just OK. They are a little bland so I'm sure if you played with the recipe you'd get better tasting scones. I used a star cookie cutter and it made 24 scones. It is what it is, simple scones, but I'm rating it a 3 only bec those who rated it high made their own variations of this recipe so it's kind of deceiving to give it 5 stars for such a simple scone. I'm still looking for the perfect scone recipe.

Wonderful! I was in a rush, so I didn't have time to freeze and grate my butter. I did it the old fashioned way and cut it in with a pastry blender. They turned out perfectly! Some of the best I've ever tasted

Sorry, although these were very good, they are still not the best, and my quest goes on. The best you can get are sold at a local gourmet shop near me in Kenmore, NY......if I could get the recipe, I would. I have driven there just to get one.....9 miles away, they are that good and I usually get them plain. However, they come to the shop parbaked and finished in the shop so no recipe. I did make these as many others did, using a food processor, & also used currants. They were easy, & very good, but still not my favorite.....the local one's are like "butter, sugar, flour, dropped down from an English heaven" to me! I may however, try to make these with cream or buttermilk instead of sour cream next time....maybe that's the difference in taste.

Excellent recipe, and easy, too. Food processor is not necessary, although it is nice to know that is an option. If you are used to making biscuits from scratch, you will have no problem mixing this dough. I made these with dried blueberries and they were fantastic!

I just made these without the food processor and it wasn't that bad, just a little butter on my hands. But otherwise great recipe...not dry like other scones I have tried.

These scones are ridiculously easy to make if you use a food processor. Toss in the dry ingredients, toss in your berries/zest/nuts/chocolate, toss in your liquids, and the machine does all the work. I like the look of round scones rather than cut triangles, so I just place the dough by big spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Great, versatile recipe!

I used cranberries and lemon zest, and the scones were delicious. The ladies I served them to at my book club really loved them. They're even better warm! I followed the directions verbatim, and it wasn't too much work, but I can see how it would have been faster if I had used a food processor as some other people suggest.

WOW. These were outstanding! I made two batches on mother's day for my mother and mother in law. I used salted butter that wasn't frozen and just cut it in and that turned out to work extremely well (I currently don't have a food processor.) The first batch I made with Craisins, semi-sweet chips and white chips - my mom RAVED about these! The second batch I made with fresh blueberries and they were a little lacking in sweetness in my opinion, but my mother in law loved them. I'll try adding a little more sugar next time if using blueberries, but other than that, no variations are needed at all!I will definitely make these again!
