    Great Scone recipe! I baked the scone recipe plain & next batch with blackberries! Delicious both ways!I was surprised that I really enjoyed the plain scones. Just the right amount of ingredients to make a tender, tasty scone. I served them warm to my husband, right out of the oven. His first scone and he loved it!
