World's Best Scones! From Scotland to the Savoy to the U.S. Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 6)
Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2011
These were good, but maybe a little too light. We had scones all over England and Scotland and by far the best ones we had were a denser, slightly drier recipe that we just haven't been able to replicate. That certainly isn't this recipe's fault, but we consider those our gold standard of what a scone should be.

Awesome...not dry at all. Probably needed a little more sugar or maybe I should've sprinkled with sugar after baking. I think its a matter of which fruit i put in though. I didn't use any dried fuits, instead, I used blueberries and lemon zest (inspired by the lemon blueberry scones - AR). My husband likes it packed evenly with blueberries because he didn't care too much for the bread part. All in all, it was good. Oh, one last note, I was getting afraid that the bottoms were starting to turn dark brown really fast while waiting for the tops to turn at least golden brown, but right when a hint of golden turned out, I pulled it out of the oven and quickly transferred it to a cooling rack. You know what, I like the crispness from the bottoms...yum! I didn't have that burnt taste at all.

I used this recipe to replace an old scone recipe and then asked my Afternoon Tea customers what they thought. EXCELLENT scones they all said and I must agree. Now I am embarrassed that I used the other recipe for soo long!!

I live in England and have real scones all the time, and this is an excellent recipe true to the delicious British Scones!

These were very good. I did not have sour cream so I used Greek vanilla yogurt because that's all I had. Very good!!! I think I will do again and make with buttermilk and herbs for dinner. Thanks for posting

The only thing I knew about scones was that it was a sort of dessert shaped like a pizza slice. Because of this recipe and its many positive reviews, I studied my scones before trying out this recipe for myself. (-: Turns out that scones are a type of BREAD that can be in various shapes: round, like a biscuit, square, or a triangle and either lightly sweetened as a dessert or savory. After studying the facts, I pulled out my ingredients and worked through this recipe without any changes except for two things: I switched currants for some frozen strawberries and blueberries, and I froze my flour mixture for up to five minutes after rubbing in the butter. Since this was my first time making scones, I worried that I'd overmix the dough. So I purposely left large clumps of dough only slightly moistened. Unexpectedly, the scones turned out fluffy! After having my first bite, I was smiling. This, my friend, was delicious. I doubt I'll be able to find a recipe as easy and good as this one, right here.

I made these with 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, yogurt instead of sour cream, and no egg on top (I didn't have any, so I just brushed it with milk instead). Next time I'll definitely go with all white flour - the scones were WONDERFUL but the texture just wasn't authentic with the wheat flour. The yogurt substitution was great, though.

This is the best scone recipe ever. I put some dried cranberries as well as raisins. Outstanding. I won't make any other again

These scones not only look great but taste great. To the reviewer who complained about the baking powder "taste" perhaps you did not measure correctly. I did not find this to be a problem. I have been searching for a good scone recipe for a long time and this one fits the bill. The sour cream gives them a nice texture, not dry the way some scones taste. I 've made this a number of times and they are always a hit.
