Really good! Came out fluffy soft and delicious! I added and extra 1/4 c. sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla and dash of cinnamon to help it sweeten up a little...I have a major sweet tooth! Than I piled it with jam and butter! These scones are my new guilty pleasure! Mmmm...definitely give it a try! :

I have an acquaintance who caters and butterscotch scones are one of my favorite things to get from her. Unfortunately I can't afford to use her too often. My daughter loves hers so I thought I'd look here for a recipe. I used this recipe and added 1 cup of butterscotch chips at the end. They were perfect. My mother in law came over and had one, she left here with the recipe. Easy to make and delicious.

I tried these out for an upcoming tea party, and they were delightfully light, fluffly with a wonderful crust. I didn't give it 5 stars though because it's not quite perfect - it needs a light sugar crust - similar to the ones at the Westgate Hotel in San Diego - those are the perfect scones.

However, these are better than any other scones I've tried with the above exception..and for my first try..I am highly pleased!!

Alton does it again

This is a good scone recipe. I made it for breakfast for houseguests and they were delicious! In addition to the cranberries, I added a handful of semisweet chocolate chips and sprinkled the baked scones with sugar when they came out of the oven. :

This is a very good scones recipe. I have an old Scottish one, but they just like them heavier. This does it. I made mine savory this time, with some fresh rosemary I had and finished out my dried dill. Leave out the sugar on that version. Good combo. Have the dried cranberries and will make them that way soon. Thanks to all the reviewers who gave tips and variations. If you want a heartier scone, try whole wheat flour or half whole wheat and half whole wheat pastry flour - healthier too.

i make scones a few times a week as the main breakfast in my house, and while these scones are INSANELY yummy, i find i need a heartier scone. my 2 and 5 yr old won't eat these, they are too crumbly.

cricri

i sub the raisens out with 1 cup of fresh chopped fruit and it works great.

I promised to make scones for the local antique store which was having a "Victorian Tea". I had never made scones! I went to FOODTV and read the reviews on this recipe and gave it a try this morning. I used 2 T. butter and 2 T. light butter with canola oil. I also substituted fat free half and half for the cream, and added orange zest and the results were absolutely delicious! My husband ate at least 3 of them and said they were really good. The house smelled wonderful afterwards too! Many thanks, Alton.

I have made A LOT of scones and this is the best recipe I have ever used. They are moist and light. I use all butter instead of part shortening and they work fine. I've also used whole white flour to add more nutrition and they are great. Thank you, Alton!

I just made these and I am eating one right now! Yummm! I made some changes and they turned out wonderfully. First of all, I didn't put any dried fruit or anything in them. I used half and half instead of cream, next time I will try nonfat milk to see if that changes anything. (Might as well try to cut out some fat grams if possible. I added about a quarter cup of almond syrup (the Torani brand, often used in lattes etc. I was worried it might make it too sweet but they're perfect and they have a hint of almond flavor which was amazing. I did add a little more flour just because of the liquid syrup. I also made a glaze for the top by combining some more of the almond syrup with raspberry preserves and powdered sugar. Oh, it was perfect! Will definitely be making these again, and of course, making some different changes. It's a great base recipe to make your scones however you would like! :
