    I made these for my son's preschool "culture" party as our ethnicity is English and they went over fantastically. One lady told me they were the best scones she had ever eaten. I doubled the recipe so I could have some at home & I froze 1/2 for future scones & baked the rest of them in the oven this morning. Soooo good! Big tip is to be sure the scones chill in the fridge before baking - no matter how quickly you work with the dough. That butter has to be COLD!

    The orange-honey butter was absolutely YUMMY but make it in the food processer. The mixer spit it all over the counter and the walls. A big mess!

    Awesome! Switched out the cherries for dried cranberries, the lemon zest for orange zest and the almonds for pecans. I hope that dosen't make it a whole new recipe, but the family loved them!

    This is another recipe to keep on hand. The butter just tops it off great. Anne this is another great recipe and thanks for sharing. I made a batch and fixed me a cup of tea and watched William and Kate's Royal Wedding and I'm not English. To bostonbean822 just work that dough and it will come together. That is what I did and they were great.

    We have tried a number of scone recipes and this one is our favorite. Not only is it easy to prepare, it replicates a dessert item we used to purchase from a neighborhood deli over 35 years ago and have never tasted anything similar to it...until now. Thanks Anne for sharing this with us.

    I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I followed the recipe exactly and I had trouble with the dough and pressing it out into 1" thickness. It was just a crumbly mess. After working it a while longer, I finally got it to take form and allow me to cut the triangles. The recipe makes 6 HUGE scones and I prefer them smaller. The flavor is good, but the texture didn't work out for me. Next time I will add more liquid.

    General consensus is to use 1 cup of cream instead of 1/2 cup yeah? Also, how long did everyone cool it for?

    I made them without the butter and they came out pretty well for a first batch! (I used raisins instead of dry cranberries they taste amazing with coffee.

    Can you make the honey butter without having a stationary whipping machine?

    I've never made scones before because I really didn't think I liked them AND figured they would be difficult. Not so! These were fabulous and VERY easy to make! I hosted brunch (acually making all the recipes from this episode and all guests loved the scones!

    I don't give out 5 stars often, but this recipe deserves it! Couple things: I completely forgot the dang lemon zest! And this, after running to the store after prepping everything else and realizing my lemon was not so fresh!!! Didn't miss it, but will use next time. ALSO- NEEDS WAY MORE THAN 1/2 CUP CREAM!!! As other reviewers posted, there is no way 1/2 cup will cut it. I even watched the episode on hulu to see if it was a typo, and nope....in the show, she uses 1/2 cup. ??? But also in the show, it appears to make a small disk of dough. I had a HUGE amount of dough. Easily enough for two disks and makes 12 scones. Butter recipe was PERFECT! Makes delicious and beautiful scones - a keeper and deserving of 5 stars.....BUT ADD MORE CREAM (Have at least 1.5 cups available, I'd say. Next time will try in the food processor, because it's also quite sticky and messy! : But still well worth it!

    This is a fabulous recipe! I always switch up the fruit and add fun things like hazelnuts and fresh cranberries and it always turns out great!
    Thanks Anne!
