In search of the best scone recipe in the world I have adapted their recipe with my own touches and with the famous scone recipe from the world renowned Savoy hotel in London.

Great texture but the baking powder taste was a bit too much.

So yummy! Thanks for sharing. I switched out the currants for blueberries and loved them. They look great too!

These scones are delicious. Lighter and moister. I took another reviewers advice to put in the freezer after mixing the butter and flour. I also put some glazing sugar on the top before baking. I will be making these again.

Totally FABULOUS! I also added 1 tsp Watkins vanilla. Realized I didn't have sour cream so I used Greek yogurt instead. These are hands down A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These were great. I doubled the recipe and added chocolate chips. Everyone loved them!

Delicious. Insanely delicious. And easy. Am making this again for the second time this weekend--it's so simple to make, I don't even need the recipe to do it. Changes I made: I nixed the currants/raisins. I added a little splash of vanilla to the milk/sour cream mixture (and put a bit more sour cream in, a bit less milk). 3 tspns baking powder. As encouraged I do not overwork the dough. SMASHING, splendid, delicious, easy--perfect!
