These sound wonderful too....


Im looking for the perfect scone..so Im going to try this one..thank you for sharing..


These look good!


Sher, I made this recipe this morning. The dough turned out to be quite wet and sticky. I resisted the urge to add more flour, and baked it as one disk since cutting it would have been messy. It turned out very tender and was very good. Would you have added more flour? I sprinkled turbinado sugar (raw sugar) on top for a nice shine. Funny, I just glanced down and saw Michellem's comment about it being too dry. Ha!


Just answering your comment conner... Been very busy and this is the first time I have been on in awhile. No I don't add more flour but I do put a fair amount of flour on the counter that I turn the dough out on . and flour the top a bit. They are quite wet and would stick to the counter otherwise. I have also floured my knife before cutting to keep it from sticking and try and cut straight down through using my large knife I have sprinkled the tops with cinnamon sugar as well prior to baking, and brushing the tops with a bit of vanilla yogurt is also nice. hope this helps

I made these this morning and they're great!
I chose this recipe out of all the others because it really is simple and quick!
I replaced the blueberries with strawberries and added a little cinnamon, then baked for about 30 minutes, and they are AMAZING.

Also, they go great with clotted cream:

I made these and really liked the way they turned out. I had to use a little more buttermilk because the dough was to dry and next time I would add more sugar. I did put white crystal sugar on top..it really make them look pretty.


I c. chopped fresh strawberries!
