I read several other reviews before responding and felt I needed to clarify. No, this is not a very sweet scone, but most scones are meant to be more savory than sweet. Adding an orange glaze does sweeten it up quite a bit. Also, this scone came out much for "fluffy" than others I have tried. Definitely a keeper...

Fierce! That’s what I think of this recipe!
The recipe on this website IS NOT the one used on the original episode. I took the liberty of tweaking the sugar amount so the scones taste like sweet scones ought to. Here goes everyone!
- FIVE 5 tablespoons of sugar (instead of the 2 tablespoons listed- 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh orange zest (I used zest of 1 WHOLE medium Navel Orange- 1/2 cup of ROASTED walnuts...that's how much Ina used in the episode - 3/4 pound of unsalted butter = 3 sticks of butter - 3/4 cup of dried strawberries = approx. 1 whole 9 oz. bag of dried strawberries
** After I brushed my cut out scones dough w/ the egg wash I sprinkled Sugar In The Raw or a similar coarse demerara or turbinado brown sugar instead of the white sugar used in making the dough for an excellent texture variation & another dimension of sweetness** TRY IT! It really does elevate the scones..
I hope this helps everyone. Good Luck, Enjoy & Happy Baking everyone out there! P.E.A.C.E.

I know that scones aren't supposed to be that sweet, so in that sense these were perfect. My husband likes pastries a bit sweeter, so for him I'd add a little more sugar, but in speaking of tradition, these were perfect. My only change was I had to used fresh strawberries that I dried as much as I could in the oven for a bit then added them in - they broke a part quite a bit but still gave just enough strawberry flavor.

I baked these for my family and they loved them! They are so light and fluffy! I love the fact that they are not that sweet so you can add your own flavor to them!!!!!

I saw this episode yesterday and made some last night. I didnt have dried strawberries on hand but I did have lots of other dried fruits. I made a double batch and then creted several variations (cinnamon apple walnut, cranberry orange, cherry almond, blueberry lemon, banana walnut, and apricot cherry almond and we loved them all! Next am going to play around with more savory flavors!!

Haven't tried these yet, but after reading the other reviews, I just wanted to say that authentic scones are not supposed to be real sweet. You can serve them jam or lemon curd (which is what I do, and sprinkle the tops with sugar before baking. That sweetens them just enough!

I have always enjoyed Ina's recipe and find them a great challenge the only time they fail is when I mess up or have bad ingredients
