These were exactly as promised! I made these with my 16yr old daughter and the only difference we made was regular 1%milk and more sugar on top and less icing. Even the picky teenage boys visiting my son couldn't resist the wonderful smell and look of these scones.

Flaky and tasty. I put in 1/3 c sugar and might take it up to 1/2 c because I usually do not do icing. This was a fairly involved recipe and not for someone without a heavy duty mixer. I also used 5 large eggs since I didn't have extra large. I think it could have taken a bit more orange zest as well, and I used 2 - 1/2 T. Anyway good recipe, but definitely for an intermediate baker and willing to make some adjustments for taste.

I like to use fresh cranberries and add some orange juice to the dough. I also subbed orange marmalade for the zest. A little brown sugar made these pretty yummy.

Ina does it again! Saw these yesterday and made them-they are very easy to make. I substituted half and half for the heavy cream (only out of guilt! and I don't know what the hers taste like but these were amazing so loss of flavor or texture. I also used sanding sugar as I like the texture for toppings.

These scones were perfect as is! I did add a bit more orange zest than recommended. This recipe is my new favorite, sorry Tyler ;-
Instead of cutting into rounds I formed into a rectangle and cut into triangles. The advice to add sugar is silly, in my opinion, scones aren't meant to be sweet, the fruit and glaze is more than enough. LOVE!

I've made this recipe three times now. First time, I made it just as is. Scones were not as sweet as I expected but the icing made them sweeter. Second time, I doubled the sugar, no icing and used cranberries. They were delicious. Third time, I doubled sugar (again no icing, used Organic Thompson Raisins and used a tab bit more of heavy cream. AMAZING!! This is a great basic scone recipe. They're definitely more like a biscuit. This is a regular staple in my home. I also saved half of the dough (in the fridge and made fresh scones the next morning. My scones were ready in 13 minutes.

Tasty. Yummy. But two tablespoons of baking powered makes them fluffy like biscuits.

Really tasty! Halved the recipe, but stayed very true to ingredients and instructions for the scone itself. For the glaze I used a little orange zest, and about one Tbsp of cream, in addition to juice of half an orange. It is really delicious, and I can't wait to eat it for breakfast tomorrow morning!

Outstanding scone recipe! We have eaten scones in many parts of the world and this recipes produces the best of best. I served the scones with real butter (forget the clotted cream which isn't available in the USA anyway. They were sooo good and I must confess...offered homemade red raspberry jam on the side. I froze some of the baked scones after wrapping them in heavy foil. I reheated them on a baking sheet at 375 degrees for 8 minutes then added the orange glaze. Wonderful, easy and far better than anything you could buy. This recipe not only deserves 5 stars but a gold medal, Ina!
