Finally, the perfect scone recipe I've been looking for!! I sifted the flour and all the other dry ingredients together. Changed sugar to 1/2 c. vs. 1/3, based on reviews. Since I had salted butter, I cut the salt down to 1/4 tsp. Added grated orange rind (1 orange. Added 1 tsp vanilla to half and half to equal 3/4 c. Turned out onto floured waxed paper, kneaded a few times, patted dough to about 3/4 inch high circle, used a sharp knife to cut into wedges. Baked at recommended 375 degrees. It took about 20 minutes to get golden brown. Rose nice and high, double the original height. These made sweet scones. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Really perfect. Great with butter and jam, or plain. Perfect with tea/coffee. Next time I will cut sugar back to recipe 1/3 c. Want to try these with blueberries next. GREAT SCONES!!!

Fantastic! Best scones I ever made, hands down! I used half and half instead of cream, and it was still wonderful.

These are a total keeper! So easy and super yummy! After reading the comments, I added grated orange peel, dried cranberries and walnuts. I also upped the sugar to 1/2 cup and, as noted, they still were only slightly sweet. I made them the day before and kept it in a disc in the fridge overnight. I brushed with egg wash before going in and dusted them with my vanilla sugar. A great way to start our St. Patrick's Day!

Good, but using 1/2 cup of sugar made it great!!!!! Add the extra sugar....so worth it, and you won't need jam to make it tasty. It will be tasty on it's own, like the scones at Starbucks..

Second time making them, and they are awesome! Super easy. Giving it 4 stars because I felt the descriptions were a little vague for a first timer, but the taste is spectacular. Used 2% milk instead of cream, and butter instead of shortening. No problem! But I'm gonna try with the exact ingredients one of these days...!

I followed the advice of previous reviews and increased the sugar to 1/2 cup. I was glad I did. The scones were just right and still not too sweet. They were flaky and buttery. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks Alton! Delicious.
