Good Scones. I halved the recipe and still made 12 scones. I do not have a mixer, so I used my food processor like another reviewer and it worked fine. I only added the wet ingredients by hand. The dough was very sticky as Ina says, but adding a little extra flour did the trick.
Next time I will add cinnamon & maple extract for a little more flavor. This was my first time making scones, and I was happy w/the result.

My scones were light and flaky. I froze my pieces of butter and then used my food processor to cut in the butter to insure the appropriate size of the butter pieces. I then put the mixture I to a large bowl and added the liquid ingredients. I believe that the use of the food processor made the process much easier and faster.
However, I was very disappointed in the lack of maple flavor. I believe that some walnuts and use of grade B maple syrup might help. Also maple extract as well as some cardamom or cinnamon may help boost the flavor of these flaky scones.

The whole wheat flour and oats make for a tender scone. Not overly sweet. I loved them.

Just made these scones. I thought they were ok but a bit more like biscuit than a scone. I may try to make again but will tweak the recipe a bit. They aren't overly sweet which is nice (although I think I'd like them a tad sweeter. I also added some maple extract to the dough and glaze. I wish I saw the reviews about adding in some cinnamon because it sounds like it would take care of that "something missing" taste that I and others experienced. Overall, a good morning bite.

the scones were good, but noone mentioned what a sticky mess in the making. Took me too much time to clean up the mess.

Excellent! I added one more egg and made it less dense. Sometimes scones can be dry and dense, not these.

I'm giving this a triple WOW! I made these Thanksgiving morning for breakfast, and they were tender and flaky. I made 1/2 a recipe, and had plenty for the next day's breakfast. I will be making these as gifts for the holidays. Thank you Ina for such wonderful recipes!

Great flavor with the maple extract modification to the glaze.

Very yummy scones. I quartered the recipe since I don't happen to have a pound of butter in my fridge at the time. The taste is great and not overly sweet. I feel like they are a little dry but apart from that they were great scones!

I just made these to bring to my daughters last day of preschool and I just had to test one. It was amazing! I did some of the suggestions people made. I added some cinnamon and used old fashioned oats. I also halved the recipe and made mini scones. They are very rich and the mini version is better for preschoolers appetites. I also add milled flax seed to everything I bake and I would suggest if you have it available to use Grade B dark Maple Syrup. I buy it by the gallon because I use it for my bread. Grade B has a much stronger maple flavor and is used mostly for baking. YUM!
