These were some of the best scones I've made! They're not too sweet, but they're delicious and flaky!

I have never had a scone, so have nothing to compare this to; but they were great! I didn't have the lemon but didn't really miss it. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. The recipe halves nicely. I made the dough in my food processor. I liked these better than biscuits & I love biscuits! I would make these again.

I will preface this by saying that I attempted to make these healthier by cutting way down on the butter (using only two tablespoons) and replacing the rest with unsweetened applesauce. They still turned out pretty good, and I don't think the applesauce had a negative effect on the scones as a whole. They were still pretty looking and crunchy on the outside while soft on the inside. I think there may be too many raisins for my taste, and they were a bit on the bitter side so next time I might cut down on the raisins and spread honey or jam on them for serving. Still a great recipe to start with.

You know it's a good recipe when all reviews don't change anything. I am big on changing up recipes but this is perfect the way it is. Served with maple butter or jam and tea.

These scones are absolutely delicious! All family and friends that have sampled these love them and ask for more. I made them exactly like the recipe says.

This is one of the best recipes I have ever used; certainly the very best scone recipe I own. Everyone just loves it.

These were great. Delicious. The only changes I made were an extra 2 T. sugar, which is needed; and I soaked the raisins in boiled water for 5-10 minutes to make them nice and plump. Oh, and I added a teaspoon cinnamon. Yum. Will make these again.

Delicious. As good as any scones I had in England. Made them just like the recipe says. Wish I could get clotted cream to put on them instead of butter.

Not overly sweet...so those who do not have a sweet tooth can eat them plain, and those that do can smother them with jam (my preference). Delicious!

These were extremely delicious, the best scones that I have ever made. The walnuts added the perfect unexpected crunch. They were so flaky and delicious! These disappeared rather quickly. Only thing I can't understand is yielding 14-16 scones...I only got 8.

I liked this a lot. The trick is not overworking the dough I think.

Oh my goodness these things are yummy!!! I made them using 1 1/2 cups white flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat, to equal 2 cups. I brought them to a gardening meeting and they were so good that 4 people asked me to send them the recipe. Thanks Eleanor!

If you enjoy the scones at Starbucks - you'll love these! I didn't have buttermilk, so I added a teaspoon of white vinegar to the milk. And instead of cutting into 14 pieces, I cut out 8. This is an easy recipe and has just the right consistency of REAL scones - not the cakelike stuff I've tried before! My next batch will be Chocolate Chip with grated orange peel instead of the lemon. Thank you!

My family loved these scones, they were so good. We ate them warm with iced tea. My mom thought that they would be good with a glaze, even though she realized that it wouldn't be very scone-like. Still they were very, very good.

I've baked a lot of scone recipes, and this is one of the best. I buy lemons or sale and freeze the juice in ice cubes in 1 tlbs. amounts. I didn't have the lemon zest this recipe called for, so I used some of the juice, and cut down the buttermilk and they turned out and tasted great. I will make these only from now on, Thanks for taking the time to give us your great recipe. DENBIE
