Very good. The entire family loved them. Even took them to work camp at church and I still get asked to make them.

I adore this recipe! Have made it quite a few times before and it never fails. This last time, I substituted 1/2c. mashed banana for half of the butter. I added cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. I also threw in some pieces of date and chocolate chips instead of the rasins. I have gotten rave reviews. They taste absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!! Thank you Rob for this delicious recipe

Every scone I've ever had at a bakery or restaurant was so dry that I finally stopped eating them. I've never made scones before so I thought I'd give it a shot. Instead of sour cream I used buttermilk; I didn't have cream of tartar so I used vinegar and doubled the amount; instead of 1 cup of butter, I used 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup coconut oil. I didn't have any dried fruit, so I chopped up some almond toffee candies and some milk chocolate. I was in the process of patting it out so I could cut it and bake when I realized I forgot to put the candy in. I dumped the 1 cup total of almond toffee candy and milk chocolate onto the dough and kneaded it in. At this point I was sure it wasn't going to work because every recipe I've read about scones warns you NOT to overmix. This recipe is VERY forgiving! I patted the dough out into a 12-inch circle, approximately 1/2-3/4 in thick and cut it into wedges. I baked at 350 for 18 minutes and they're yummy. Not super moist (my fault for overmixing) but not dry either. Definitely not crumbly. And definitely better than any I've ever purchased. I took some hazelnut non-dairy powder and mixed it with a little buttermilk and drizzled over the tops. So good! I don't care for overly sweet baked goods so these are perfect for me. Thanks for sharing!

This scones are SO good and the recipe so forgiving, that I made a mistake and they were STILL excellent! I only used 8 ounces of sour cream and the dough of course was dry! I looked at this recipe to be similar to a pie crust so I added enough cold water to hold it together. My son brought them to work and everyone raved about them. Now I don't know if I should make it the correct way next time or not. I can't imagine them being any better! Bottom line, if you don't have enough sour cream, they will STILL be excellent! :)

This turned out great! Its moist and buttery. I didn't have sour cream so I used one cup of buttermilk that I made from scratch using one cup of milk and one table spoon of white vinegar and let it rest for 5 min. It came out just as good!

These were amazing. I have never had such great scones. I suggested going to Panera, but I wanted to try this recipe. I think it is better than what I would've gotten!

Just made these and love them! I'm eating my 2nd one now! I halved the recipe and cut them into 8 pieces with my pizza cutter. They turned out nice and puffy with just the right amt. of sweetness. Easy recipe that you can throw together most any morning you want something different and yummy! (great with blackberry jelly!)

Excellent! I have made this wonderful recipe a few different ways, it is very versatile. My fav is to add 1c. dried cherries instead of raisins, 1.5c(more/less depending on your preference)toasted sliced almonds, & to the egg or wet ing I add 1.5tsp almond ext +1tsp vanilla. If you like almond these are delicious!

I made these a few weeks ago for the first time. I had trouble initially with the dough - it was really crumbly. I am still giving it 5 stars for taste though, I think it was just my inexperience making scones - and also the fact that I live at high elevation that could be affecting the outcome. I am definitely going to make this recipe again and anticipate that it will come out even better!
