A delightful full bodied scone with a lovely texture and depth!
I have tasted scones all over the world and this recipe makes one of the best I have ever tasted. I enjoy making little changes to recipes and creating something unique. For this one I substituted 1/4 cup Mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup "Italian Sweet Cream" coffee creamer by Coffemate and 1/4 cup plain yogurt. It changed the consistency a little but it was lovely..I also used blueberries and tiny chunks of apple and a pinch of cinnamon. It was Awesome!!!
Super simple to make the original recipe and add to it, just be careful with adding extra sugar if you are using other sweet ingredients.

On vacation my friend Karen and I decided we wanted to make scones and thought this recipe was good as it seemed simple. Well it is very good and so easy to make. We didn't have enough cream so we did half of the required amount and substituted plain yogurt for the balance, also at the suggestion of another reviewer we added a bit more sugar...very tasty. Delicious.
