These scones are amazing! I add a little almond extract to mine. Can't say enough about them!

Hello, i just baked these scones and they taste good. Only problem is that was my first time baking scones and i don't know if thats how the dough should be or it was just me, but it was sticky and hard to handle it, not as buns dough.So i just added little more flour. Now my only problem is that i probably don't exactly know how good scones should taste since i only ate scone one time last week and i loved that one:) I just happened to buy one last week and it was like u guys say that is not good :) It was more dense, heavy and crunchy, i totally loved it and i hoped to bake the same. Only this recipe gave me light and fluffy scone:) which is good as well but not what i wanted. I think maybe the scone i bought might have been done with small percentage of corn flour and lemon. If anyone who has more knowledge can help me , please write me if u know such recipe for a stronger scone.

These are excellent scones. The frozen grated butter trick works great and makes this recipe easy to make! I've been experimenting with different additions. One of my favorite is dried cranberries and then drizzling and orange zest glaze after baking.

Truly a very fine scone, light in both flavor and texture, not biscuity at all. I'm sure that I'll be making this again! Thank you for sharing this.

Great recipe! I omitted the currants/raisins, but added some lemon zest into the dough and pressed in blueberries while shaping. Delicious! I'll definately make this over and over again!

My entire family LOVES these scones, and it is sooooo easy to adapt it to add different flavors. My favorite variation is for ginger scones. I add 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 cup minced candied ginger.

WOW! This is a great scone recipe. Being from Scotland I have eaten lots of scones but have never been able to make a good one until now. On my quest to finally make a good scone I chose this recipe to try and I am so glad that I did it is wonderful. This is a very easy recipe and the scones come out perfectly. I was tempted to reduce the amount of baking powder as suggested but I stuck to the recipe and had no metallic taste. I am very sensitive to too much baking powder but it was fine for me and my family. I made plain scones but added a little extra sugar. I also dusted the tops with sugar prior to baking as others did. My scones were light and fluffy with a slight crunch to the top, perfect with jam and clotted cream. To some who have been unhappy with this recipe ensure that you use all purpose flour and not self-rising as self-rising has baking powder added. Also a light hand is essential, that was my failing in the past, I handled this as little as possible and the scones were perfect. Thank you, I can finally make scones!

These were a huge hit when I made them for colleagues at work. I used chopped, dried apricots (next time I'll remember to plump them up a bit before adding them to the dough) in place of the raisins, and topped each scone with a little turbinado sugar prior to baking. Super simple and very tasty, great with tea or coffee.

So good! I didn't have sour cream so I substituted buttermilk in its place. They still turned out fantastic! Will definitely use this recipe again and again!

WOW! These were amazing...I made them last night and my family begged me to make them again today. Definitely a new family tradition. I used mini chocolate chips in place of currants and added about a 1/2 t of vanilla. Yummy!

I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am from Quebec(Canada) and a real "fan" of scones since several years. I have tried many at different places and this recipe makes them taste like the ones I usually buy. I have followed the exact instructions of the recipe (except that I had mid-salt butter) and put raisins. Next time, I will try to substitute sour cream with yogourt and reduce amount of baking powder... just to see. MANY THANKS AGAIN... Have a nice day!!

This is a deliciously lovely recipe. The scones were nice and moist. My variation: I use chocolate chips instead of raisins or currants. Mmmm...decadent!

These are wonderful "true" scones. If you don't like this recipe, then you don't really like scones! I used golden raisins in mine and they turned out perfect. I can't wait to try lemon zest and blueberries. Thank you so much for this recipe.

They tasted fine but mine did not turn out like scones but more like big cookies. I might try them again to see if it was just me.

This is an excellent scone recipe--my favorite by far. The scones are light and fluffy, not dense like the kinds you buy in coffeeshops here in the US. I skipped the eggwash on mine put still sprinkled some sugar on top. The sugar stayed on just fine. The biggest hits have been chocolate chip, cranberry, and lemon blueberry scones (substitute lemon yogurt for the sour cream). I would not use this recipe to make savory scones--they end up too sweet.
