I've used this recipe for some time now. No problems with it. The batter can be sticky. I just dust my hands with flour. It works pretty well. I get lots of compliments on this. Thanks!

Dough was a wet mess and had to add more flour to roll it which left the taste more like a biscuit. I will go back to my other recipe. Sorry Alton.

The dough was very sticky, but the scones were delicious. I served these at a reception and more than one person told me they were the best scones they'd ever tasted. Thank you, Alton!

This recipe is a good basic starting point, but the salt needs some adjustment. I would suggest putting in 1/4 to a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Also, the batter was too wet so maybe use only 85-90% of the wet mixture. Lastly, I used 1/2 cup sugar upon reading other reviews, and the scones were just barely sweet.

This is a perfect recipe! Just made it for the second time but in this batch I added maple syrup, cinnamon and sliced almonds instead of dried fruit. I served them warm with butter and peach preserves. It's a great Saturday morning!

This recipe is so good, and I think there's a lot of flexibility there to substitute and customize. I love cranberry and orange, so I used 1/2c and 1/4c orange juice when I made it. Next time, I might use a little more orange juice, but they are so easy to make and they're DELICIOUS. I did the same thing I saw other reviewers do and patted them down instead of using a rolling pin. They might have been a little thicker because I needed to cooked them about 17-18 minutes to get pretty and golden brown, but they are YUMMY, and with the cranberry and orange in them, they taste like Christmas morning!

Stumbled upon Alton's recipe while looking for a receipe for "Starbucks" cinnamon scones. Having tried others, before this one turned out very good. After reading many of the other reviews I am perplexed regarding the comments such as: too salty, too sticky etc. I followed the recipe to a "T" except adding 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the drt ingredients. I also brushed the top with melted butter and topped with cinnamon sugar. Turned out very good. I decided not to roll out the dough but just patted it out to 1/2" thick. I did note, however, the bake time was longer than called for.
So I will be making these again and I will be adding other add ins.

Very simple recipe. I made these on a whim and didn't have any cranberries so I just left them out. They were still great. I made a simple vanilla glaze and drizzled it over the tops. Yummy.
