I made the Honey Butter without Orange Peel I didn't have an orange. It was okay. Did not taste like I had hoped. The scones are good. They did take longer than 18 minutes to bake so keep your eye on them. Don't hesitate to make these they are easy and delicious.

This was a really simple recipe, but I wonder what the secret is to making them look like hers. Mine sort of spread out and all joined together on the pan. I'm not using old baking powder, and didn't deviate from the recipe at all. My family really liked them, they just didnt' look like I wanted them to.

I've never had the courage to make scones before but because of Anne, I DID IT!!!! These scones are delicious and easy. My three year old ate them up and asked for more. Thanks Anne! You are an awesome chef and I love to watch you cook!

This is a great basic recipe that is very easy to make. I used cherries and walnuts, but can't wait to try with candied ginger and other delicious surprises. I did pulse it in my food processor and it worked just fine. The baking took exactly 18 minutes. The butter is amazing and adds so much flavor. Anne, I LOVE watching your show! You are very talented and entertaining. My teenage sons and I get a real kick out of your voice inflections and deep voices. You make every recipe doable for the home cook. Thanks for helping me be amazing in my own home.

If yours weren't done after 24 minutes, make sure you oven really is the temp you think it's set for. If your oven runs 25-50 degrees cooler than you expect, that can cause baking times to really increase.

I plan to make these next weekend; I've been catching up on my Food Network programs after being away from home for Thanksgiving week and didn't catch this recipe until waaay late Saturday night.

Looks really easy; I'll experiment with combining the dry ingredients with the butter using the food processor (just a few pulses to get the butter cut into the flour etc then doing the rest by hand. I have "hot hands"; even with the butter being super cold, I'm afraid I'll melt it too much to get the texture right. A few zaps in the "food pro" should do the job. (Of course, if they come out lousy, I'll blame it on the cuisinart and try again by hand for the whole shootin' match. :-

I really appreciate the scone recipe having no eggs - my daughter is allergic to them, so I'm always on the lookout for breakfast treats that she can eat.

Mine are still in the oven after 24 minutes, can anyone help who made these and how long did they have to bake?

I saw the segment yesterday, and just had to make recipe. I have a lot of dried cherries I've been wanting to use, and this one was right on time. It was so easy!! Didn't even have to use my mixer! Anne mixed the batter using her hands without any utensils. They are drop dead good!!

Anne, thank you for taking the mystery out of cooking great food. What we homecooks really want is to be able to turn out restaurant quality food at home. I love your show. I set my alarm to remind me every Saturday because I don't want to miss one segment. I always learn something new.

Hubby made these for me this morning (using dried cranberries instead of cherries, along with the frittata from the same menu -- very, very good and easy enough for his culinary abilities! Wonderful!
