    I made these for my sister-in-laws baby shower and everyone loved them!! I did have to add a little more cream to get them to come together, but they were great.... this is an excellent "base" recipe for scones. Next time I'm going to add orange zest, dried cranberries and pecans.

    These are so delicious. Like other reviewers my dough was a bit too dry so used 3/4 c cream, otherwise followed exactly and they came out beautifully. I made two small discs of 8 scones each for smaller scones to serve at a school breakfast. Did not make honey butter but will next time. Can't wait to make again.

    Excellent recipe! Loved the cherry/almond. The second time I made them I added 3/4 chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Omitted the cherries, almonds, lemon and increased the cinammon to 1 teasp. This is a good base recipe for adding whatever suits your fancy. Love, love, love it!

    This was the first time I've ever made scones. I love them. The added turbinado sugar makes these special. I did add some salt to the butter for more flavor. I'll be making these again!!

    I've never had sconces this good. I did need to add 1 Cup of cream and at the end my husband had to mix the dough together. I just didn't have the muscle power. I noticed that another reviewer used her mixer and I'll do that next time--and there will definitely be a next time!

    These are great BUT....I needed about 3/4 cup of cream to get the dough to come together. They also took more like 20 minutes to cook. I cut the disk into 8 slices instead of 6. In spite of the tweeking they needed,this recipe is a keeper.

    I love to go to a coffee house and get a scone, but I don't need to anymore! These are better than any other scone I have ever had. Delicious!!!!

    Yum, yum yum! I used craisins instead of the cherries (since I didn't have cherries at the time and used cinnamon/sugar grinder McCormick for the sugar on top. I made one batch a while back but froze half of the unbaked dough; defrosted the disc yesterday, and this morning, dusted the wedges with the sugar and popped them in the oven. What a great way to start the weekend! We made orange butter--softened a stick of butter and added orange extract. Perfect addition to this fabulous breakfast treat!

    These scones were wonderful. I froze two after baking and they were just as good a week later.

    I usually love Anne's recipe but not this one. These scones flavor were good but they came out dried and too crumbly even though I read the reviews and adjusted the cream to 1 cup as 1/2 cup was not enough. The rest of the recipe was exactly as stated. Also, it took me 20 minutes to bake instead of the amount instructed.
