  Wow

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made these this morning, and they were fabulous and easy. Really light as opposed to most scones I've eaten which were... dense and hard. I did use chopped up chocolate covered raisins rather then the cranberries, so I didn't get any bitterness. As for the sticky, if you flour your counter well when rolling out the scones, the dough becomes quite easy to work with. I also used a heart cookie cutter rather than a round to make shaped scones, and they kept the shape quite nicely!Read more

  Not as Good as Advertised

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  The dough is very, very sticky. Also, the finished product is quite bitter. Maybe like one reviewer said, there is too... much baking powder in the recipe. And, there were not nearly enough cranberries. I have to toss out all the scones because we cannot take the bitterness.Read more

  Nice & Flaky

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  This is my first time ever making scones and my friend advised to make this recipe. Well, it turned out really tender, flaky... and biscuity, but the dough was STICKY. I had to sprinkle a bunch of flour all over but was still sticky and hard to handle. I couldn't even form them into anything so they turned out in monster globs. Is it supposed to be this way?? Plus the cranberry flavor wasn't too prominent so I'll just add more next time, if there is a next time; I couldn't stand the ultra-stickiness.Read more

  A little background. The extent of my baking usually goes as far as packaged cake mix, but it just looked so easy that I had... to try it. I am a huge lover of scones and I'm always on the lookout for good ones. My favorite is this one from a local coffee shop with cinnamon and currents. For this recipe, I used defrosted frozen blueberries an walnuts that I had on hand. I don't have a stand mixer either so I just did it the old fashioned way, pinching the butter through the mix. It came out great. I did think it needed more sugar so I dipped the top in some royal icing. I also tasted some bitterness no doubt due to the baking powder so I think I'll cut it by 1 tsp next time and see how it turns out. I also added about a tsp of cinnamon just because I like cinnamon in my scones. Yay for Alton!Read more

  Simply Awesone!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've made lots of scones before, but these are the best - by far! I've added white chocolate & macadamia nut; lemon... blueberry, orange cranberry and plain chocolate chip - so many ways to change them up. I have to make a double batch if I'm to get any as my husband and sone eat them almost as fast as I can make them. Thanks Alton!Read more
