    These scones are so light and tasty, and so very easy and quick to make. This was exactly what I was looking for in a scone. I added orange zest, and a small amount of orange juice, and cranberries rather than currants. The basic recipe can be used for any type of add-in you would prefer. This is a must have recipe for everyone!

    These scones disappear as quickly as I make them! They are great with sliced almonds and dried cranberries. The first time I made them, they seemed a little big so next time I made them half the size (by making 4 circles instead of 2 yielding 32 smaller scones. Everyone loves them.

    These were really moist...I thought scones were supposed to be more...firm in the middle....These are really good however. My mixture wasn't 'rollable'....was very sticky...and I followed the recipe exactly...except I used mini choc. chips instead of currants. I added a bit more flour but didn't want to add to much extra, fearing of making them tough....so I just placed them on a greased cookie sheet and flattened them out a bit to about 3/4 inch thickness.....they cooked beautifully...kids and hubby loved them! Will definitely make them again!

    This is a great recipe, really! Scones are more moist than the english ones I've cooked so far (normally you need jam and butter on scones, with these you don't they are perfect as are, and I also increase baking powder to 1 heaped tablespoon since there should really be an awful amount of baking powder in scones. I used 2 c, all-purpose flour and one whole wheat flour, and I added 1/2 c. dried cranberries and the grated peel of one orange. Loved them, will definitely baked these many other times! :-

    Yum! This has become my "go to" Sunday brunch scone recipe. It's almost embarrassing when people rave about them as they are so easy. My friend made some scones recently and I noticed she hauled out her KitchenAid mixer. This recipe only needs one bowl and you do the mixing with your fingers. You can add things like cheese and jalapenos or grated fresh ginger or anything else you might like. I brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle raw sugar on them. I also make a batch of fresh stawberry jam to serve warm on the side.

    I have used this recipe for years. I changed up what I put in them though. Made some good combinations.

    We love this recipe, for a sweet sour taste I add a zest of an orange and cranberries. We served these warm with a glass of cold milk that is how my son love it...I had my cup of coffee, today I am making them for a friend and her family, I know she will make an expresso for me and we both will enjoy that!

    I had a little bit of leftover buttermilk and found this recipe for buttermilk scones on the internet. I had not intended to serve them to anyone, but I had made a double batch and put them out for a church fellowship hour (the scones were 7 hours old when served. I couldn't believe how much everybody liked them! A number of people asked for the recipe, so I directed them here. Just be certain to take the scones out of the oven at the first hint of the tops turning brown. They wonderfully light and satisfying. I served them with red currant jelly.

    This recipe was our third scone baking experience, and it was a dream! Interesting that it calls for baking "soda" too. Alot of other scone recipes I have seen do not. We love the small bit of sugar, which makes the scones heavenly, but not sugary. We used chocolate chips and cherries, and cherries and raisins (double the amount of fruit called for. Yumm!
