Ingredients

5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for hands and parchment
1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
2 cups milk
1 1/2 to 2 cups Marionberries (or substitute blackberries)

Icing:

2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1/4 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

To make the scones: In a mixer, blend dry ingredients, shortening and butter together thoroughly until mixture looks like bread crumbs. Add most of the milk and mix for about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, adding more milk to completely moisten dough. Be careful not to overmix. Flour hands and divide the dough in half and place on 2 pieces of floured parchment paper. Re-flour hands and shape dough into a large circle about 10 inches in diameter. Place about 3/4 cup Marionberries evenly on each circle, leaving a 2-inch edge. Re-flour the parchment papers. Re-flour hands and fold up edges to completely cover Marionberries. Flatten out scone with floured hands to 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 6 pie shaped pieces and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating once halfway through the cooking time. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

To make the icing: Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Mix for about 30 seconds or until thick. Drizzle scones with lemon icing. Let icing harden before serving.

the best scones ever!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

these scones are awesome! i made half the recipe and ended up with 16 good sized scones. they were moist and delicious, more... like a biscuit than a scone, but that's why i loved them so much. i made them with blackberries and they were great. and i substituted the shortening with butter. yum!Read more

Great Scone Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These scones were delicious. I used raspberries instead of Marionberries, and I added white chocolate chips to the dough... instead of making the icing- yummy!! Just an FYI- the raspberries gave the scones a bitter taste when they first came out of the oven, but they were really tasty the next day. Also, I was able to make 16 scones with this recipe :o)Read more

I made some changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe made great scones but 5 cups of flour will not give you 6 scones. Not unless you are baking for the Jolly Green... Giant. First I folded the berries into the dough after I had added the milk. Then I patted half the dough out onto a floured surface. I used plenty of flour on the board and my hands.I patted them into a scant 10 inch circle. I cut them into 8 generous scones. Next I put them into an ungreased 10 inch cake pan and sprinkled with sugar. I repeated with the rest of the dough. They took about 30 to 35 minutes to bake.I ended up with 16 wonderful scones They rose almost to the tops of the pans. They are fluffy and delicious. I would recomend that you use the frosting It really sets them off. Hope the tips helped I will be making these again Thanks for the recipeRead more

Mmmmm.

These scones are amazingly good, and fairly simple to make. I used fresh boysenberries, blackberries, and even a few... raspberries, all from my garden.Read more

best scones ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Although I would make more and smaller size servings than they suggested, these are the most amazing scones I've ever had -... and it was the first time I made them! They came out so fluffy and soft inside and perfect crust on the outside, they were a big brunch and tea party hit!Read more

I modified this to make apple raisin cinnamon scones. The basic recipe is really simple and delicious!
