    I decided to make these the other day because I had all the ingredients on hand. They were a little messy but rather easy to put together. I decided to increase the grated zest in the batter and omit the glaze. The house smelled wonderful and I couldn't resist having one straight from the oven. They literaly melted in my mouth. I will make these again and again. They also make a perfect hostess gift, just add a small jar of preserves.

    The recipe is not only easy, but has the potential of being versatile. You can change out the cranberries and orange zest easily for other flavors. These scones disappeared quickly when I took then to the office!

    These scones are really great and fairly easy to make...definitely worth trying as are all of Ina's recipes. I haven't been disappointed by her yet! A tip I received on baking911.com is that you can parbake the scones till they are risen but not yet browned...cool, freeze and then bake again, when needed, from frozen. Apprently it is better for the leaveners to do this rather than to freeze the dough and then fully bake. Enjoy!

    these were tender and moist, but much too salty. No one in my family would eat them and the dried cranberries cost almost $5 per bag. bummer. I even used kosher salt as the recipe recommended.

    This was the easiest scone recipe! It was simple, and delicious. Ina said the dough froze well, so I tried it and the frozen/freshly baked scones were as good as the day we first tried the recipe. That is handy for a busy mom who is short on time, and also when you only have 1 person that wants one ...No Problem!! I love the craisins and orange combo as well. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that takes a " special weekend" food and make it an anytime treat!!

    This receipe comes together quite easily, as long as you have a mixer. I substituted regular salted butter for the unsalted and just cut back the salt a bit. It worked out well. Incidently, do make sure to glaze these at the end. The glaze takes no time to make and really finishes the flavor. It adds the perfect amount of sweetness. Without the glaze, these would be too plain.

    I loved these! I'm not a big fan of scones I've had at bakeries -- they are always too dry, but these were delicious and not at all crumbly or dry! They were easy and turned out exactly like the picture. I froze 1/2 the recipe. Does anyone know if I have to thaw them before I bake them?

    Yesterday I watched your show and Barefoot Contessa sure did make my mouth water with her Cranberry Orange Scones. I made them this morning, they are awesome and easy to make. I wish I had a picture to show you as they turned out just like Contessa's. The taste and texture is AWESOME.. I will be making this recipe over and over. It is a 5 Plus Recipe...
