    I followed the recipe with one exception - I added a little bit more orange zest as some of the other reviewers suggested. I didn't run into any consistency problems or any of the other issues some people had when preparing this recipe. These are the BEST scones - and a super simple recipe. They do melt in your mouth. And, they smelled wonderful while I was rolling them out and cutting them! I will be amking these again and again!

    If you can make biscuits you will find these wonderful scones easy. I will definitely make these again. For medical reasons I stay away from sugar, but found that 1/3 cup of Erythritol (a natural sugar substitute worked great. Next time I will try adding some chopped walnuts.

    I usually like to make a test run on new receipts. However, these cranberry orange scones sounded so good, I decided to make them for a party that day. They came out PERFECT. I did, however, use some of the tips I got from the other reviews; like adding more zest, surgar and cranberries to the dough. I also added zest to the icing and also some frest squeezed orange with a little bit of the small pieces of pulp. It was wonderful. By the end of the party, they were all gone. My guests loved them.

    Thanks to all of you other chefs for the great tips.

    WOW! Baked these again this morning. This time I used 1/2 cup of white sugar, dried blue berries and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest instead of the cranberries and orange zest. FANTASTIC! These are delicious.

    Follow Ina's recipe but use 1/2 cup of white sugar and replace the cranberries with the same 1 cup measurement of dried blue berries and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

    Ocean Spray sells dried blue berries. You can find them on the canned fruit isle at your grocery store.

    For the glaze I used three tablespoons of fresh lemon juice mixed into the powdered sugar and glazed them after cooling them for 15 minutes. The recipe is a winner! Your guests will never leave.

    Note: To save time you can prepare the batter the night before form into a rectangular disk about two inches thick cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning all you have to do is put a scrunchy in your hair, brew a pot of good coffee and roll these gems out!

    Happy Holidays!

    TWO THUMBS UP for this recipe. My baking notes: added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, only added 1/2 tsp orange zest instead of 1 TSP,and added 1/2 cup roasted walnuts.

    This scone can stand on its own without the glaze. The glaze, in my humble opinion, I didn't care for. Instead, I made cranberry jam (epicurious website which was good with the scone. But, again...the scones are so good and best without distractions. :

    Other notes: When working with scones, it's best to handle as little as possible. Instead of using a rolling pin, I floured the mound of dough lightly, then using my hands I patted the dough down gently into a circle. Also, I let them rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. Then I brushed them with egg/milk mixture and baked.

    The cranberries add a nice touch.
