First time making them, the result was flaky buttery. I subsituted the shortening for all butter, and added half of cup of sugar instead of a 1/3 of a cup.

Absolutely perfect scones! So delicious and not too sweet. This is a wonderful recipe that would be easy to adjust with different fruit and or spices. Thanks AB!

wow! this was so easy and really good. i thru in dried cranberries and grated rind of 1 orange, um, um good. I also made the dough 1 day ahead and wrapped it in plastic wrap. then I just patted it out til it was about 3/4" thick and cut triangles. easier than a biscuit cutter & rolling pin.

Simple, easy, tasty.

Added 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate in the dry step, brushed with cream and topped with a little sugar. Awesome.

Just finished hope they turn out. Recipe was incomplete-how many it makes, how thick to roll, what to cook on (pan, sheet, glass, metal and grease pan or not. Did not notice that until I was ready to roll.

These scones turned out fabulous! I ended up using half and half instead of cream and that worked fine. I added to one of them dried cranberries and orange zest, to another I added chopped candied ginger and sweetened flaked coconut, to another I added lemon zest and sliced almonds and topped that with a lemon glaze, and to another I added lavender, vanilla, and sliced almonds. They all were great! And I brushed the top with an egg wash, which made them golden brown and shiny!

These yummy scones were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They were super simple to make and took about a half hour from mixing to eating! Alton’s recipe was right on the money, but I had to make a few substitutions to make the scones a wee bit healthier! I added ½ cup of vanilla whey protein (27 grams per scoop, substituted granulated stevia for the sugar, and since I did not have any cream on hand, I combined light whipped cream with whole milk. I also used natural Cat Island (Bahamas Sea Salt instead of regular table salt and pomegranate craisins. My husband and son loved the scones and did not complain that they were at all salty, even though I used salted butter and the sea salt. My recipe yielded 9 good-sized scones (with at least 3 grams of protein and lower carbs and these are definitely going into the family favorite recipe collection!
