To the few that are complaining that these scones lack flavor- you're obviously not very experienced bakers. How can flour with a bit of this and that (basic baking formulation or chemistry) be flavorful? You probably ate them warm. It's no magic, it's all in the texture and what you add to the final dough- maybe some mixed berries and white chocolate chunks! And after eggwashing the tops prior to baking try sprinkling a generous amount of coarse sugar. Or if you want to go savory, try some herbs and small cubes of a nice cheese- say chopped chives, bit of basil and oregano and chunks of gouda or edam. Instead of the sugar topping obviously something like some shredded cheese or sesame seeds would be more appropriate. How can any basic scone recipe be flavorful unless you add extracts or such like lemon or vanilla and in my opinion that'd be yucky.
